Seems Legit_

The Performance of Credibility

In crypto, trust teeters on a knife’s edge. “Seems legit” blends hope with sly doubt, a meme masking unverified faith. It signals due diligence bypassed in a world where projects explode overnight and billions chase vibes. Credibility often wears a polished mask before it is earned.

This work probes that ambiguity, where “seems legit” tests belief: is it real or just a flawless facade? In traditional finance, legitimacy stems from institutions. In crypto, it is an aesthetic. A sleek deck. A vibrant Discord. A single tweet from the right voice.

This piece is about the tension of belief, where design cloaks vapor, and seriousness performs as proof. Crypto moves fast, trusts lightly, or not at all. “Seems legit” lives in the murky middle, between scam and signal, polish and truth, embodying the seductive dance of credibility.
