How to turn Starknet sentiment around ? The biggest gripe everyone including myself have with Starknet is the launch valuation, airdrop and down only chart If you voted for Starknet with your money at any point, your networth has evaporated. It's impossible not to feel contempt for the team after being down 95% and seeing team cheer that "Starknet will melt faces" while in reality the only thing it melted was your networth To turn around the sentiment, I propose designing a sale with VC-like locks through which community members and newcomers could get a ticket at seed round valuation. Use the funds raised to bootstrap $strkUSD, use t-bills for buybacks. Voila.

I think the problem w. all of these L1s/L2s is that there's just nothing to do on there. everyone loves the L1 comp because the upside is so insane. but it's just the same 5 aave /uni forks that we get everywhere else; 0 innovation. and when there's no innovation, everyone just gravitates to where the volume and liquidity are, aka the same old chains we always use like bsc/sol/eth. that's not even mentioning all of the other stuff that you talked about. this has been the worst investment for anyone who ever bought and it leaves a horrible taste. in 2026, i dont think anyone's coming into crypto and saying 'i want to buy STRK'. you have 10000 other options, you have next gen technology with other ZK projects (succinct and a bunch of others), and other ecosystems like monad / megaeth that will take the spotlight in the short term. the only good reason why you'd buy strk now is bc maybe vesting is getting done but idk
