DeFi "Holding Steady"? More Like Controlled Demolition
DeFi's October Surprise
Okay, so the crypto bros are trying to spin this "DeFi tokens are holding steady" narrative after the October 10th crash. Give me a break. Down 37% on average? That ain't exactly "steady," is it? It's more like a controlled demolition.

These FalconX guys are saying investors are flocking to "safer names." Safer? In crypto? That's like saying you're investing in a "safe" volcano. Maybe slightly less likely to erupt *today*, but still...a volcano.
They point to HYPE and CAKE as examples of "buyback" tokens that are doing relatively well. Down 16% and 12% respectively. That's their idea of success? If losing 15% of my money is "winning," sign me up for abject failure.
And what's with all the euphemisms? "Extended sell-off," "mixed price action." Let's call it what it is: a goddamn bloodbath.
"Stickier Than Trading"? More Like a Roach Motel
The Lending Lie
Then there's the whole "lending sector is holding up" angle. Oh, investors are "crowding" into lending names because it's "stickier" than trading? Yeah, stickier like a leech. They're probably just stuck because they can't get their money out.
KMNO's market cap fell 13%, while fees declined 34%. They call that outperformance? I call it losing less badly. It's like celebrating surviving a plane crash with only a broken leg.
But hey, lending activity might "pick up" as people flee to stablecoins. So, the plan is to lose money trading, then lose money lending? Brilliant.
I'm seeing all these articles pop up about which crypto is the "best to buy" right now. Bitcoin, Solana, XRP...the usual suspects. They're all down! What kind of messed up advice is that? "Hey, buy this thing that's losing value! It's a great deal!"

Offcourse, they all have their "reasons". Bitcoin is a "macro hedge" (until the macroeconomy sneezes and Bitcoin catches pneumonia). Solana is "high-speed" (until it grinds to a halt because of some meme coin craze). XRP has "banking-grade infrastructure" (that nobody actually uses for anything).
And don't even get me started on the early-stage tokens. Ondo Finance? Immutable? These are just buzzwords designed to separate naive investors from their money. Partnerships with BlackRock and Goldman Sachs? So what? Those guys make money whether you win or lose.
Wait, is this just one massive pump-and-dump scheme disguised as "investment advice?" Am I the only one seeing this?
"Opportunities From Dislocations": Profiting From the Apocalypse?
The "Expert" Opinion
The real kicker is when these "experts" start talking about "opportunities from dislocations." Dislocations? That's a fancy word for "we screwed up, and now we're trying to find a way to profit from it."
Martin Gaspar from FalconX thinks perp DEXes will continue to lead. Okay, Martin. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. What's your track record? Are you long on HYPE? Because if you are, I'm shorting it.
And what's with the constant shilling for prediction markets? "The only crypto trading category seeing record volumes are prediction markets." So, we're betting on the end of the world now? Is that the new hotness?
I need a drink. Maybe several.
This Is All Just Gambling, Folks
