Are you the same way? Scrolling through the feed every day, can't stop your fingers, and you can judge whether a project is worth looking at in three seconds. No story point? Skip. No clear tags? Skip. Can't see immediate emotional stimulation? Keep scrolling.



As a result, projects like Oracle, which provide underlying data services, just disappear at our fingertips.

Don’t argue. I was like this at first too. It’s not that I really dislike it, I just think "there's no need to waste time now." The market is bombarding us daily with Meme coins, attracting attention with large airdrops, and stimulating nerves with stories of rapid gains. Compared to that, projects focused on infrastructure seem too dull, with no chance to fight back in the attention race.

The problem is, we may have made a serious mistake: confusing "not understanding" with "having no value."

Why do we want to give up at the first encounter? The reason is actually very simple.

It doesn’t fit our usual "quick judgment system": no clear hot tags. It’s not Layer 2 scaling, not AI storytelling, nor on-chain real assets. So what is it? It’s the underlying pipeline that provides trustworthy data support for all these hot projects. This story is too basic, not stimulating at all. It triggers fatigue, not anticipation. Over the past few years, terms like "infrastructure" and "long-term development" have been overused. When you see a project’s white paper and technical roadmap, many people automatically react: "Another pie-in-the-sky project?" The market has long been scarred by trust issues with infrastructure, and projects like Oracle just happen to hit that pain point. It requires you to actively understand, not passively receive. The project team talks about node consensus, data verification, economic security mechanisms—things that require you to invest cognitive effort to digest. In an age of information explosion, no one wants to bother with that.

Really, I am also reflecting on this now... Swipe swipe swipe, a project gets sentenced to death in just three seconds, and the ones we miss are the ones with the most solid underlying logic. I've been brainwashed by Meme coins for too long, and my mind has become lazy.

Grass, isn't this talking about us... The three-second judgment method is really amazing, and now it can't be stopped at all.

ngl this is just dot-com all over again... we're swipe-left-ing our way through the next billion dollar infrastructure layer

Damn, you hit the nail on the head. I'm the one who swipes in three seconds. Now I see some friends who laid out infrastructure early on getting rich, and I feel regretful.

*adjusts alchemical instruments* the philosopher's stone was never flashy either, yet it transmuted everything. oracles are just data pipes until you realize they're the foundational ledger of all defi alchemy... the yield optimization games we play mean nothing without verifiable price feeds sustaining the entire transmutation cycle.

Well... Projects like Oracle have indeed been overlooked, but to be honest, infrastructure projects should also reflect on how to tell their story.

Ah, you hit the nail on the head. It was gone with a swipe of my fingertip. Now I regret it to death. If I hadn't swiped on Oracle back then... maybe it wouldn't be like this now. Really, infrastructure projects are being beaten by Meme coins. Who's to blame? Honestly, I was too lazy to read the white paper. My mind has been bombarded and numbed. It's too late to regret now. Another lesson: "If you can't understand it, it's worthless." Judge in a second, swipe away in three seconds, regret after five... cycle repeats.

At first, reading this article was quite upsetting; it's true that it's easy to be brainwashed by the surge of Meme coins. But to be honest, things like Oracle are just too hard to tell stories about, no wonder they were crossed out. Wait, maybe it's the other way around? The boring infrastructure actually indicates that no one is paying attention, which might be an opportunity.
