Crypto Twitter's vibe around incentives has completely flipped lately.

The whole energy's different now. Nobody's sitting there dreaming about airdrops that'll change their life anymore—they're just hoping for 5 bucks instead of a hundred.

It's wild how the mindset shifted from "this project could actually be massive" to "whatever, I'll just grab whatever scraps come my way." That expectation gap says a lot about where we're at right now.

Haha, now it's all realism. Without dreams, it's just a matter of luck to pick up the scraps.

Laughing out loud, from dreaming of getting rich overnight to picking up leftovers, this is the reality of the crypto world.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have bothered. Now I don't even dare to dream anymore.

It should be pointed out that the collapse of this mentality is not simply due to market cycles—on-chain data indicates that what we are witnessing is a complete breakdown of value consensus. From the "life-changing airdrops" to "just nibbling on leftover scraps," this is merely evidence of fiat thinking fully invading Web3.

Honestly, who still dares to believe they can turn things around through airdrops? It's all self-deception.

Stop talking, I've already figured it out. Now I even have to be grateful for 5 bucks.

Really, in the past two years, the anticipation for airdrops has plummeted, from dreams of changing lives to just hoping for 5 bucks? It cracks me up. --- Bear markets should look like bear markets; don't expect to get rich just by freeloading. --- Honestly, everyone has become so worn out that they have no temper anymore. Anyway, it's all zero, so whatever. --- This shift in mindset is actually quite heartbreaking; how wild we used to be. --- Just gradually getting used to it. Sniping opportunities are still opportunities, no picky or particular. --- It’s just like that—going from changing lives to scraping together dinner money. Reality is a bit harsh. --- No one believes in the "next hundredfold coin" anymore; everyone’s become smarter.

I've already said it, now everyone has a picking-up-the-buck mentality. Who still dreams?
