DeepSeek created absolute chaos in the markets back then. The buzz was everywhere, the disruption narrative seemed inevitable. Yet here we are months later, and the momentum feels... different. What happened to all that momentum? Did the initial wave just burn itself out? Is there genuine technical progress being overlooked, or did the hype finally catch up with reality? Worth digging into—especially for those tracking how AI disruptions actually play out versus how markets react to them.

To be honest, deepseek definitely caused a stir in the city back then, but now? The hype has faded so quickly. It seems like that's just how the market is—comes fast and goes even faster.

Basically, it's just hype after all. We all saw the wave of public opinion during DeepSeek's initial controversy, and now that the buzz has died down, it's quite normal... However, we might not have fully grasped the real technical breakthroughs yet, and the market is already looking for the next hot spot.

It's another hype cycle show. DeepSeek did indeed clean up the public opinion environment back then. And now? No momentum left. Real technological progress or pure concept hype, it’s all the same. The market is always like this.

Isn't this just the daily routine in the crypto world? When the hype comes, everyone rushes to follow, and when it cools down, everything fades away. Genuine technological progress is often overlooked.

Another round of rookie investors getting slaughtered. I knew DeepSeek was unreliable back then... The market heats up and everyone goes crazy. Now it's time to eat humble pie.
