Are we ignoring real utility in crypto because memes are just more fun?

Lately I’ve been watching serious projects with strong fundamentals just… stagnate. Meanwhile, meme coins with zero use case pump like crazy just because they’ve got hype and a funny name.

It makes me wonder — is the market really driven by tech and utility anymore? Or is it just social media momentum and timing now?

Also, does real utility even matter to retail investors anymore, or are we just in it for vibes and potential exits?

Curious what you all think. Are we heading toward a utility-driven future, or will hype always rule?
