Let's be honest here—the industry still has a long way to go in terms of professionalism and maturity. Between meme coins, pump-and-dump schemes, and projects that disappear overnight, we're often viewed as more of a carnival than a legitimate financial ecosystem. The talent is there, the technology is there, but the execution? The discipline? That's where things fall short. Until we clean up our act and stop tolerating blatant manipulation and scams, we'll keep struggling to earn mainstream credibility. Real adoption requires real standards.

You're absolutely right, it's still a mess here. --- Projects that cut profits every day, how can people trust them? --- The technology is fine, the key issue is the people. --- Can we stop dealing with those one-night disappearing scam projects? I'm tired. --- Without cleaning up these trash projects, they'll never become legitimate. --- It's hilarious—blowing their own tech while engaging in rug pulls. This is our current situation. --- The word "discipline" in the crypto world is just a decoration. --- Only by regulating can there be a future; right now, it’s like a casino. --- Too many people are after quick money, so they dare to get involved in all kinds of crappy projects. --- Gotta admit, this industry is now just a big casino combined with scams.

That's right, it's a big mix right now, with geniuses and scammers mixed together.

You're absolutely right. The scene is really a mix of fish and dragons now, with new scams every day. --- Geniuses are all into meme coins now, what a pity. --- Execution is the hardest part. No matter how perfectly you draw the big pie, it’s useless. --- Wait, when will the rectification start? It feels more and more chaotic. --- Mainstream institutions look down on us because of these crappy projects. --- Talented but lack discipline—that's just the norm in Web3. --- There are too many scams; legitimate projects are all being buried. --- Although the technology is fine, the reputation is really ruined. Who can stand that? --- If you ask me, standards should have been introduced long ago. If this continues, there’s no hope.

Well said, but the question is who will actually execute it? --- Constantly calling for cleanup, then turning around and buying shitcoins, hilarious. --- The technology is fine, the problem is human nature, brother. --- To be blunt, right now it's just a game of hot potato, waiting for the explosion day. --- Trust standards? First, clean out your own accounts thoroughly, everyone. --- I understand the reasoning, but mainstream finance isn't that clean either, right? --- This is said every year, and it hasn't changed at all. --- Standards are good, provided everyone is willing to abide by them, and then what?

Well said, but haven't we heard this all before? Every year, we call for cleaning up the industry, and what’s the result? When the next hot topic emerges, it still grows wildly. Who still cares about discipline and standards now? Anyway, the retail investors will always be enough.

That's true, but the criticism isn't harsh enough. It really needs to be thoroughly rectified.
