NEAR Protocol: Usage Growth vs. $10 Reversal... Really?

[Generated Title]: NEAR Protocol's Rocketing Volume: Is This the Real Deal, or Just Another Crypto Pump and Dump?

Okay, so NEAR Protocol's volume is "rocketing." From $24 million to $1.7 billion in, like, seven months? Seriously? Color me skeptical. It's crypto. Everything's a pump until it's a dump.

The Numbers Game: Smoke and Mirrors?

They're bragging about transactions per second, too. "Top 10 blockchains!" 47.1 TPS! Sounds impressive, right? But let's be real. Who's actually using this thing? Are these real transactions, or just bots and market makers playing games? I mean, monthly active addresses are up, sure – 3.5 million to 42.3 million. But how active are they really? Are they moving money, or just claiming free NFTs that will be worthless next week?

And the fees... $3.641 million in a single month? Okay, not bad. But over three years, they've only pulled in $22.7 million total? That's… underwhelming. It's like throwing a pizza party after winning the lottery.

Investors are supposedly "strategically accumulating" NEAR at $2. The $2 zone is the "final chance before the plane departs"? Give me a break. That's not investing, that's gambling with extra steps. It's the same tired FOMO narrative they always push.

It's like saying buying beanie babies in 1998 was a strategic investment. Wait, I think my mom still has those beanie babies...

The Price Predicament: Holding On for Dear Life

The NEAR/USD price is "under pressure," huh? Translation: it's teetering on the edge of a cliff. They're desperately clinging to that $2 support level. If it holds, they're promising a "350% surge toward $10." Right. And if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle. According to NEAR Protocol Price Prediction 2025: Usage Growth Signals a Potential $10 Reversal - Bitget, usage growth could signal a potential $10 reversal.

But what if it doesn't hold? Then it's "an extended accumulation phase through the end of 2025." In other words, prepare for a long, slow bleed. They're basically admitting that if it drops below $2, any real gains are pushed back to 2026. That's crypto speak for "we're screwed, but we're not telling you that directly."

Offcourse, I could be completely wrong. Maybe this time it's different. Maybe NEAR Protocol is the next big thing. Maybe I'll win the lottery and retire to a private island. But I doubt it.

The Bottom Line: Fool Me Once...

It's the same old story. Hype, promises, and a whole lot of speculation. Until I see real-world applications and sustained growth, I'm calling BS.
