Don't remind me again today

Let's talk about something that's been bugging me lately. There's this DeFi protocol that's raking in serious revenue—we're talking about a genuinely profitable operation here. But here's where it gets weird: they dropped a token that honestly seems to have zero utility baked into it. None. And somehow this thing still pulled a $150 million valuation at launch.



What really grinds my gears is watching them dangle the possibility of "future utility" like a carrot on a stick. Classic move, right? Keep people hoping there'll eventually be a reason to hold this thing beyond pure speculation. But if you're already printing money with your protocol, why launch a token that doesn't actually plug into your revenue model?

The numbers don't lie—when a project's core business is thriving but their token offers nothing tangible, that's a massive red flag. No staking rewards tied to real yield, no governance that actually matters, no revenue share mechanism. Just vibes and promises.

Personally? I'm bearish as hell on this one. When fundamentals are this disconnected from valuation, gravity eventually wins. Could be a slow bleed or a quick rug, but tokens without real utility in profitable ecosystems rarely end well. Trade carefully out there.

Pure speculation leads to a dead end.

Without value, it cannot last long.

This operation is a bit outrageous.
