Recently, I've been reading a book about psychology that mentions a term called attention depreciation.
It means that if you can see something's new patterns every day, your brain will keep assigning it a higher value.
But if it suddenly goes quiet, even if the value behind it is still increasing, your subconscious will feel that it is depreciating.
The current @Plasma is obviously in a period of "extreme attention depreciation."
The official announcements haven't had that adrenaline-pumping excitement in a long time.
No new integrations, no collaborations with major influencers, and even light interactions have been cut. In the eyes of most people, this project has already fallen out of the top tier for 2026.
But this is exactly where I find it interesting.
The pricing logic of the market and the actual adoption paths are experiencing a severe disconnect.
If we shift our gaze away from Twitter and look at the few overlooked signals:
MassPay, a payment orchestration platform handling billions, has already regarded Plasma as the factual backend for USD settlements.
YuzuMoney is piloting new banking in Southeast Asia's most stubborn cash merchants.
This growth is linear, compliance-driven, and non-viral. It naturally struggles to produce the kind of tweet heat that goes viral.
This is a typical "dual track running in parallel but out of sync":
One track accumulates stickiness madly through merchant access in the real world.
The other track is being ruthlessly depreciated in the crypto market due to a lack of catalysts.
For long-term holders, the current low-level grinding is actually a test of patience.
Do you believe in those projects that paint a rosy picture on your screen every day, or do you trust these slow variables quietly changing the financial gears in the background?
If in the second half of 2026, these offline paths generate a quantifiable active inflection point, the market will be forced to switch from forgetting to reassessing.
And by that time, the current pricing window may have quietly closed.
Maintain independent observation, and don't let the market's noise (or silence) throw off your rhythm.
