Strongly agree. There’s been very little genuinely interesting on Base, and almost no real PvE, with the exception of Virtuals which, not coincidentally produced the best projects to come out of the ecosystem. Yet Base and Coinbase team keep trying to force narratives. The idea seems to be that they’re "building for normies", but in reality those users don’t care about the narrative layer at all - they care about price going up. And price doesn’t come from forced stories. It comes from organic demand: things early Base participants can buy, hold, and believe in. Rising prices create attention, attention brings new buyers, and the loop feeds itself. Trying to skip that step is exactly why these narratives keep failing.
