Sunshine After the Heavy Rain: Perseverance and Breakthrough

In this restless era, some voices choose to go against the current.

To be honest, sincere sharing is often the easiest to be drowned out. We've seen too many carefully prepared contents that ultimately only garner a handful of reads. Even when asked about it, it often feels like politeness.

What about this circle? Hot money chases the trend, topics rely on popularity, and traffic becomes the only measure. Short-term hype, concept packaging, emotional amplification—this set of tactics is played more and more skillfully.

But what's interesting is that we haven't followed the trend. We haven't been pulled into the vortex, nor have we changed our original intention just to get likes. This is not stubbornness, but a choice—choosing to believe in long-termism, choosing to dialogue with those who truly care.

The crypto market is full of opportunities and noise. In such an environment, perseverance becomes a rare quality. Our community has gradually found its rhythm and value through this perseverance. Those once drowned-out voices will eventually be heard.

Long-termism is a common refrain, but very few can truly stick to it. It's easy to talk nicely, but the real challenge is not to panic when the market crashes. Agreed, traffic has hijacked too many people's judgment. However, sticking to it also depends on when you stick; this approach is most effective during bottom-fishing. Sincerity is indeed valuable, but the realization cycle is just too long.

I think, I've heard this kind of talk too many times. The key is how long your actions can really last. Long-termism is everywhere now, but few can really withstand a bear market. Staying true is nice to hear, but when the price of the coin drops, does the rhetoric really hold value? You're right, but I don't know what exactly you're holding on to, or if it's just another round of marketing. I agree with that, but the market may not necessarily agree with you.

Are you really still talking about long-termism? I think most people are still waiting for the next opportunity to get rich quickly. Sincerity is truly valuable in the crypto world, but it's a bit scarce. That's right, but I've heard this kind of talk during three bull markets... Only those who have endured until now can say that. Sticking to it is fine, but there must be real utility supporting it; otherwise, it's just self-consolation. What annoys me most is the attitude of "we don't follow the trend," only to turn around and sell the next project. Sigh, finding a like-minded person is too difficult; most are just here to make a quick buck. I feel like you just hit a nerve—I’ve also experienced losing money by following the crowd. This is the kind of voice Web3 should have, much more comfortable than all the hype on the screen. Before bankruptcy, everyone calls it long-termism; after bankruptcy, just look again.

Perseverance is the right thing, but the reality is that most people simply can't do it. We're all here to make money, don't pretend. --- Long-termism sounds beautiful, but who can really hold on until that day? --- This kind of rhetoric sounds familiar. How is the project that said that last time doing now? --- Hmm... Anyway, I will still follow the trend, after all, I need to eat. --- Sounds nice, but traffic is value, everyone understands that. --- Scarcity quality, huh? Then why are there still so many people? --- In the noise, it's easy to drop the chain, but it's also easy to get rich quickly. It's just a game.

Long-termism is indeed scarce, but can it really make money? It sounds good, but the key is to survive. There is too much noise; how to distinguish true voices from false ones? Nowadays, many people stick to their principles, but how many stick to the end? It's a bit too idealistic; the market doesn't believe in tears.

The principle is simple, but very few people truly stick to it... Long-term thinking sounds sophisticated, but few actually practice it. I've heard this kind of rhetoric too many times; the key is whether you can live to see the results. The cost of not following the trend is that you won't get any feedback in the short term, and you have to endure loneliness. Many in the community talk about sticking to it, but few actually do; most are eventually beaten back by market conditions. Long-term thinking, when spoken about nicely, is mostly a test of your wallet and mindset. Come on, in the end, it still comes down to the price...
