Hype machines • TechCrunch

The age-old question in my industry is, "Where are we in a given hype cycle?" For now, crypto news cycle dominance has, thankfully, died now, largely through its own self-destructive tendencies. FTX obviously served as the most prominent recent example of what happens when the tech community believes its own hype. You so badly wish for the success of a concept that you lose the thread. Sprinkle in legitimately bad actors and platforms that allow such actions to thrive, and you've got a recipe for catastrophic implosion.
