On the flip side of this, many more projects need to die. Then people can build strength and resiliency around the projects that deserve to live. Until they get starved, they'll continue to feed off the strong.
Collectively, we can stop hyping the crappy projects, start dumping their crappy tokens -- put these projects, and ourselves, out of our misery.
Then, to your point, start building on what matters. Don't wait for everyone else.
For now, there still isn't capitulation. Platforms like Steemit and YouTube are littered with folks claiming their token is going to the moon in 2019.
