The crypto market has clearly shifted how people engage with assets. Rather than long-term holding, most traders now chase short-term moves. Lower-cap coins flood the market weekly, many launching purely to extract creator fees. The whole ecosystem runs on reduced expectations—skepticism replaced optimism. On Solana specifically, the frequency of exploits and scams has become almost normalized, making it increasingly risky to assume anything is legitimate without deep due diligence. It's a market where participants adapt to chaos rather than believe in it.
