In a market flooded with AI-generated takes, VC-backed narratives, and “community” bots, it’s easy to feel like crypto has gone stale.
But last week, I saw proof it’s still breathing.
A tiny project, no token, no website, just a GitHub repo appeared on Rumour.app.
Why?
Because three strangers, in three countries, independently:
Reviewed its code
Asked hard questions in a dev Discord
Deployed test wallets to try it
No one paid them.
No one told them to.
They just… cared.
Rumour.app didn’t flag it for volume.
It flagged it for sincerity.
That’s the quiet miracle:
Real curiosity still moves faster than hype.
In a world where everything is optimised for engagement,
The fact that a tool like Rumour.app can surface unincentivized human interest
a dev in Lagos testing a contract,
a student in Bogotá writing a critique,
a builder in Seoul forking a repo
That’s not just data.
That’s proof the spirit of crypto is intact.
Rumour.app doesn’t create that spirit.
It detects it by watching who shows up when no one’s watching.
And in 2025, that’s the most valuable signal of all.
