Will use cases ever be more important that hype in determining value?

We've seen countless examples of coins and tokens skyrocketing in value based purely on hype and speculation, rather than any real-world use cases. But is this sustainable? Will use cases ever become more important than hype in determining value?

I dont think that that hype and speculation are inherently bad. They can bring attention and funding to projects that might not have otherwise received it, and can help spur innovation and development. However, relying solely on hype and speculation can lead to a market that's disconnected from real-world use cases and value.

The true test of a cryptocurrency's value is its ability to solve real-world problems and provide tangible benefits to its users. This means that use cases should ultimately be more important than hype in determining a cryptocurrency's value, surely? A coin or token that can provide real-world utility will have a stronger foundation for long-term growth and sustainability.

Will a coins value being tied to use cases rather than hype be a sign of real mass adoption?
