Look, nobody wants to be the party pooper, but we might be staring down the barrel of a massive correction. Here's the uncomfortable truth: 99% of what's floating around right now? Pure vaporware. Destined for absolute zero.



We're watching the same late-stage saturation playbook that obliterated the dot com era. Remember 1999? If you could slap together basic HTML, venture capital was throwing millions at you. Fast forward to 2025, and the script hasn't changed—just swap HTML for vibes and AI buzzwords.

The pattern recognition is screaming. When barriers to entry drop to nothing and money floods into projects with zero substance, that's not innovation—that's speculation on steroids. And we all know how this movie ends.

The question isn't if the bubble pops. It's when.

99% wipeout is an absolute statement, but it does have some flavor... The real issue is that we're all betting on the remaining 1%. That's right, the funding threshold is so low now that anyone can tell a story and get VC investment, really just like 1999, just with a different packaging concept. When the bubble will burst is a good question, but a more realistic one is — those who can arbitrage before it bursts are already doing so. This round of cleansing is unavoidable; let's see who can survive until the end.

99% of projects are indeed garbage, but you're being too absolute. There’s always that 1% worth taking a gamble on. Honestly, none of us experienced the story of 1999, so why be so sure that history will definitely repeat itself? What if the adjustment comes again? I'm already used to cutting losses. The ones who survive are the real gold; it's still early to go all in. This round, what's left are all masterpieces. I'm just waiting to buy the dip. When will it break? To be honest, no one can predict, but we all know how to survive and leave. The question is when to buy, not when to run. Just listen; no one can predict the market turning point.

The data shows that 99% of projects deserve to die. But you really got the story of 1999 backwards; the ones that truly survived that round were not the toughest HTML projects. Ironically, the projects that are still touting "atmosphere and AI" now—will their liquidation rate be over 98% in half a year? Interesting.

99% of projects are indeed vaporware, but real opportunities often appear during panic. This adjustment came early rather than late; only after clearing the market can you scoop up the real blood bargains. History always repeats itself; every time someone claims it's different, but the pattern remains the same. The time to go long is when the bubble bursts. Right now, those all shouting short are just cowards. It's true, but the question is who can survive until that moment.

yeah, seen this pattern before... liquidity fragmentation always precedes the collapse. what worries me more is the trust assumptions nobody's auditing – we're basically routing capital through unvetted vectors again. 2017 called, wants its rug pulls back.
