Some say that crypto assets need to maintain growth momentum to support the implementation of more innovative projects. But does this logic really hold? Consider it from a different perspective—building directly in resource-scarce areas already creates value, and it’s not necessarily required to wait for a surge in coin prices.

The application of cryptographic technology in economically underdeveloped regions may be more worth paying attention to than price fluctuations. The developers who persist in infrastructure construction under difficult conditions have already made their contributions evident.

What’s your view? Is a market bull run necessary to promote the practical application of Web3?

Only when the coin price soars can applications be promoted? I've seen this logic too many times; the clinical manifestation is that as soon as signs of capital outflow appear, the project collapses. But on the other hand, infrastructure supporters really stand their ground in poor areas, and this resilience is worth observing.

A bull market is just an accelerator, not a necessity. True builders have been working hard all along; price fluctuations don't change their determination. --- Honestly, over the years I've seen too many projects survive on hype, only to die in a bear market. Conversely, those teams quietly laying the groundwork tend to last longer. --- Resource-scarce regions are the best testing grounds; low failure costs mean that success truly represents innovation. A surge in coin prices only attracts a bunch of speculators. --- Nonsense. Without a bull market, who would pay developers? Ideals are grand, but accounts are lean. --- I agree. But the problem is that 99% of the funds in the ecosystem are betting on coin prices, and very little is actually invested in infrastructure. That's the fundamental contradiction. --- Developers persisting in difficult environments already show that Web3 can survive without a crazy bull run. It's just that the capital markets never care about these things. --- It sounds convincing, but in actual fundraising, tokenomics and growth expectations still matter. No one disputes the reasoning, but where the money flows remains the same.

The rise and fall of coin prices have long been exaggerated. True builders don't care about that; they just do what needs to be done. To be honest, the stablecoin applications in East Africa have already proven that there's no need to wait for a bull market. This is the way Web3 should go; stop obsessing over K-line charts all day.

Crypto prices soaring is just a facade; the real value has already been taking off in Africa and Southeast Asia. --- Honestly, whether the bull market comes or not doesn't really matter; what's important is whether people are actually working. --- That's what I want to hear—stop obsessing over the wealth code; building itself is the answer. --- I dare to bet that the stories of those infrastructure builders will be turned into legends ten years from now. --- We don't need a bull market; what we need is to not let crypto scammers distract us. --- Price fluctuations are just noise; actual users are the real signal.

The tired clichés of the bull market are getting old; what’s truly interesting are those who don’t wait for the wind to blow and quietly build infrastructure in Africa and Southeast Asia. --- The rise and fall of crypto prices is itself a pseudo-demand; practical implementation is the real key. The industry should have realized this long ago. --- Honestly, many projects are just waiting for the coin to rise so they can cut profits; few are genuinely working on applications. --- I agree with this view. Areas lacking funds actually need these things more; the price of coins doesn’t matter much to them. --- The value of developers doing real work locally has long surpassed the concept of coin prices. The question is, who is really doing it? --- Wait, that’s not right. Infrastructure investments without ecosystem support can’t last; active capital in the crypto space is still necessary. --- That’s spot on. Resource-rich regions can’t afford high-cost financial systems, and Web3 is just the right solution to fill this gap. --- Forget it, don’t blindly believe in the hype of a bull market. Having real users is the real core.
