Back in 2021, Optimism was everywhere—everyone was convinced it'd be the breakthrough that finally solved Ethereum's scaling problems. The Layer 2 hype was real. Fast forward to now, and the market's telling a completely different story. Seeing where it's landed compared to others... it's wild how the narrative shifted. What started as the golden solution feels like it got caught in the middle of everything else that came after. Makes you wonder about those big bets people made back then.

The optimism of 2021 was really a collective illusion, and looking back now, it's a bit embarrassing.

OP is really a bad example; those who FOMOed in during 2021 are all trapped now.

How bold they boasted back then, now it's so embarrassing... Those brothers who went all-in on Optimism are probably still crying now.
