Recently, I heard a quite influential voice—an authoritative figure publicly stated that the traditional financial landscape is being broken, and on-chain finance is the future direction. This statement is quite clear, directly pushing blockchain technology to the core position.

Honestly, when such a high-level figure comes out to endorse, the signals behind it are indeed worth pondering. But I think we shouldn't just listen for the excitement; the key is to see actual follow-up—whether institutions are truly investing real money, whether real application scenarios can be implemented, and how policies will cooperate in the future. These are the true tests of whether the signals are genuine.

That said, such statements do influence market sentiment. Once public opinion is driven, retail investors tend to follow the trend, and capital flows will change noticeably, making short-term market fluctuations almost unavoidable.

What do you all think? Is this a genuine inflection point for the industry, or just another wave of cyclical hype? Share your thoughts in the comments.

The most common rhetoric is this set of talking points, repeated every bear market. Has the institution really entered the market? I haven't seen any on-chain data changes. They talk nicely, but whether the funds are in place is the key. Another prelude to chopping up retail investors, old tricks again. They start to make noise before the policy even relaxes, that's a bit far-fetched. Retail investors are again set to be the bagholders, and this time is no exception. Every time they say they want to break traditional finance, but in the end, they still follow the traditional path. Look at the data and speak, don’t just listen to the words. What about real application scenarios? After all these years, it's still just air. Thinking a short-term percentage increase means a turning point has arrived, that's too naive. The most valuable thing about endorsers is the public opinion effect. Without the backing of funds, everything else is just talk on paper.

Wait a minute, top-tier figures say on-chain finance is the future. Why do I feel like I've heard this set of words at least twenty times over the past two years? Real gold and silver are the way to go; otherwise, it's all just air. The rhetoric is just talk; whether you dare to really invest money is the true test of character. Here we go again with this set. Can't we just not believe in this nonsense? Is this round another prelude to chopping the leeks again... Everyone talks about a turning point, but it’s still the same old story. I don’t believe you. Have institutions entered the market? I don’t think so. It sounds pretty good, but the implementation is difficult, brother. It’s just another round of public opinion manipulation, we’ve played this game a few times already. I don’t care about short-term fluctuations; the question is, can it be sustained? No matter how loud the voice, it can’t beat a policy ban order. Don’t be fooled.

It sounds good, but the key is whether real money is actually coming in. Empty talk is useless.

Another wave of endorsements from big players? I think we should wait and see first, and check if institutions are really throwing money in.

Listening to this, I can't help but think of the last time a "big V" said DeFi would revolutionize the space, and what happened? It was left unfinished. --- First, see if institutional money is coming in; words alone don't count. --- Here we go again, every time it's "changing the game," first cut in and then talk, right? --- If the policy hurdle isn't cleared, even the most fantastic stories are just illusions. --- I just want to know if this influential figure has a real position in the project. --- Short-term market movements are enough; I don't care about the future direction. --- Where are the real application scenarios? After all this time, it's still more concept than actual use. --- Retail investors' money always comes in last; be careful yourselves. --- I'm already tired of this kind of news. Next time someone wakes me up, I want to see real trading volume. --- Forget it, whether there's a turning point or not, just buy low and sell high.

Sounds nice, but I'm more concerned about whether the money really came in, otherwise it's all talk.

Sounds good, but real money is the way to go. I bet five bucks that this wave is still retail investors taking the bait. No matter how nice it sounds, without real implementation scenarios, it's just air. Just wait, history always repeats itself. Turning point? Haha, I've heard that word about fifty times this year. Every time it's like that, and then nothing happens. Have institutions entered the market? No. That's all, so what future direction are we talking about? No matter how clear the signals are, it all depends on actions, everyone. Don't get caught being cut again, friends.

Just listen and don't take it seriously. These rumors come around every now and then, and retail investors get cut each time. Wait until the institutions really step in, for now it's all talk. Is it that time again to cut the leeks? On-chain finance? Wait until real scenarios are implemented before bragging. Is it really different this time? Haha, I heard that last year too. Policies won't loosen, no matter how many statements are made, it's all talk. Short-term fluctuations can make some profit from spreads, but long-term prospects are truly not optimistic. Endorsements from influential figures don't necessarily mean you can make money, everyone. Sounds good, but the key is whether the funds are really flowing on-chain. It's always the same routine, I'm exhausted.
