I think the main hype for "fast" investment in crypto have passed a long time ago (during ico and ieo). Now in defi there's some hype but still it's not the same like 3 years ago.
Agree with u, I prefer to invest into long term interested defi projects . For example just read about new one stablecoin exchange xsigma. They based on curve exchange and backed by a public company so I'm willing to go in
