Are roadmaps a joke now?
Are roadmaps a joke now?
I see memecoins launching with the most nonsensical roadmaps (if any at all) like “$1M mktcap, Coingecko listing, then $1B mktcap!” etc., and it seems to me we have reached a point of self-parody in web3. Does this imply that having a serious roadmap was never anything other than marketing fluff in the first place? Are there still projects that actually have a long-term plan? Or was the whole “economic revolution” thing a meme all along?
Web3 has been a lesson in what happens when complete instagram/facebook fuckwits with a tiny amount of IT knowledge get to have free rein: just pure and unadulterated scammage and trash ideas that repeat themselves over and over again.
All this nonsense makes me want to sell everything and return to stocks
Every year it seems like there is a different crowd learning about crypto for the first time. This year it’s definitely not who it was in the years prior. And what speaks to the “masses” we have today, is just price chart acrobatics, and nothing about thinking long-term. But that doesn’t mean it will always be like this. Back in 2020, the idiot-fueled NFT craze came before the big-brained DeFi season, even if those projects collapsed left and right. I think a roadmap is a good indicator of how much you can expect from the project, so memecoins are at least being honest by not having one. Expectations should be low, or proportional to the effort put into the roadmap.
I agree it’s marketing fluff sometimes, but I think some projects are serious about theirs. I see a few projects coming out recently with serious roadmaps, like Eigenlayer, PyreSwap, or Aethir, but I honestly see memecoins outperforming those projects, so I’m not sure the userbase even cares. As far as economic revolution goes, it seems to be that Bitcoin is still the key ingredient.
