OpenClaw and Mac Mini hype fades: buyers spent thousands for nothing
0xAllen_ · x · 2026-10-27
Crypto KOL 0xAllen notes that many people bought into the OpenClaw, Hermes, and Mac Mini agent hype earlier this year, spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars with nothing to show for it, while a few avoided these tools anticipating this moment. Quoted poster Zeneca adds that using OpenClaw and Hermes at the start of the year versus today's best tools is like comparing dial-up to broadband—early products were incredibly janky compared to what exists now.
