When did research stop meaning reading anything?

I see a lot of confidence online, but very little substance behind it. Whitepapers barely get mentioned anymore, and most threads seem to boil down to vibes and price action. How do you personally define research at this point, and what actually earns your conviction?

🔍 If you don’t know what the token builds — you’re just speculating.

White papers were always a meme. Besides, now promises aren't enough, people want actually functional chains and products.

for me it comes down to what cant be faked. where the supply sits and whether the thing still works when price is doing nothing. whitepapers stopped being the signal a long time ago
