So, just because everyone is not talking about metaverse as they were talking about it last year doesn’t mean that it is now useless or whatsoever, it is still there and is working. That is even the same thing with ICO and other ones, they are still working and that’s like you have said, but you wouldn’t really see anyone talking much about them or hyping it because it's now a normal stuff, and no one is getting crazily impressed.
When something ceases to be a trend because one is already used to it, it means more harmonious growth than during a HYIP, where the price is pumped up by speculators in order to make a profit as quickly as possible. It's better to invest in projects either at the beginning or after the initial HYIP has passed. If you notice, the price rises quickly, and then falls quickly. Then comes the accumulation phase and already a real harmonic growth.
Trying to enter a project when it is in a HYIP and everyone is talking about it is frankly a bad idea.
