The ICO landscape has become pretty absurd lately. You'll see these projects launch with massive hype, then watch their token charts crater in the span of a few days—it's almost comedic at this point. Take something like Vooi: the actual platform and product they built? Legitimately solid. But the token demand? Basically nonexistent. And honestly, that's the real problem nobody wants to admit. Most of these platforms out there don't actually *need* a token in the first place. The token exists because it's trendy, because there's a fundraising playbook everyone copies, not because it solves anything functional. That fundamental mismatch between utility and speculation—that's what's killing these projects.
