Why do so many crypto projects talk about “utility” when what they’re really offering is speculation dressed up with buzzwords?
We’re told a token has "utility" because it can be staked or used in a game or gives access to some vague future roadmap. But real utility should solve real problems problems like trust, verification,
and liquidity in an ecosystem plagued by scams, misinformation, and illiquid assets.
what's your own standard way of judging project utility ?
Good observation and right question!
Honestly I don't see any token has any utility at all. None of the tokens solve any real world problems. Using a token within a game is not utility. That's why I usually do not invest my money into tokens. Rather I invest on cryptos that provide ecosystem to the tokens. For example, ETH, Solana, Tron etc. mostly on ETH.
There is honestly know way to judge whether a token would be good or bad for the future. Because you would never know the intention behind creating those tokens. I have seen many project failed even after having a great white paper and solid road map. The game is about execution. Having a plan is not enough.
