You means shitcoins, right?
Perhaps the sharp drop of Bitcoin and endless washings can calm more people down.
Not at all. We had ICO craze, we had a huge drop in Bitcoin price (2018), crypto winter (2019) and then we got back where we started from, with Bitcoin hugely rising again and with NFT craze.
So it looks like a sharp drop calms people down only for a rather short period of time and they find another approach for worthless projects to lure people into.
I guess that people just don't want to learn from others' mistakes and they're keen to make their own. So it'll take a while... and Bitcoin sharp falls just make it take longer.
