In the past two years, market sentiment has hit new lows, and everything is repeating itself.

Just look around: many accounts have long lost their enthusiasm for daily updates, mainstream cryptocurrencies have plummeted, and the overall market atmosphere is oppressive. However, recently some socialfi projects have started to bubble up, although frankly, I can't quite understand the logic behind them, but the staked media by a16z does seem somewhat interesting.

On the other hand, if we can really shift our focus from price fluctuations to other things—products, ecosystems, technology—maybe by playing around with these, we can survive this cycle. History tells us that the most boring times are often the closest to a turning point.

The most boring days of a bear market are often the best times to accumulate. I'm a bit confused about this round of socialfi, but at least some people are still exploring new things, unlike most who have already given up. Prices have fallen so much that it’s actually clear-headed; true builders are only beginning to show their skills now. It's another case of history repeating itself, and boredom turning into a turning point. It sounds like motivational quotes, but there’s some truth to it. I stopped watching coin prices a long time ago; now I just look at which projects are still iterating on their products. Feeling suppressed? Perfect, it indicates that a major event might be on the horizon. A16z’s approach is all about redefining the socialfi gameplay, though whether it succeeds is another story. The most boring times are actually the most dangerous; this is when opportunities are most likely to be missed. By the way, projects that survive a bear market are truly not simple.

A bear market is like this: either wait to die or find something to do. I choose the latter. --- I don't quite understand that a16z approach either, but at least it's better than watching candlestick charts. --- The most boring times are actually when there are the most opportunities. Most people have already left. --- Instead of worrying about price drops, it's better to study the ecosystem. Anyway, when the bull market comes, it won't be these chart-watchers. --- That's right. Those who are still here now aren't after short-term gains. It's kind of interesting.

Those still chasing prices in a bear market should reflect on themselves. Aren't the projects genuinely working on products more attractive? SocialFi this wave is indeed a bit outrageous, but the logic of staked media is really worth pondering. The boredom period is the best time to get in, but unfortunately most people can't wait. History does repeat itself, but each repetition ends differently. The most annoying thing is those who watch K-line charts every day; the cycle hasn't even started, and they've already given up. Frankly, ecosystem development is a thousand times more important than price fluctuations. In a few months, looking back, this will be another perfect bottoming point. Whoever can stay calm through this wave will win, it's that simple.

Really, now browsing Twitter is just watching dead accounts. Many big V accounts have been silent for a long time. Wait, can staked media really be played? It feels like just another wave of hype and concept speculation. I've heard the phrase "endure the cycle" several times, but as boring as it is, there still needs to be some substance to support it.

There aren't many people still looking at products in a bear market; most are waiting for a rebound. --- That a16z approach is back again. They use the same rhetoric every time there's a downturn. Do I believe it or not... --- Boredom is real, but it's actually easier to fall into traps during these times. Don't be fooled. --- I also don't understand the socialfi logic. It feels like just a gimmick. --- Is the closest to a turning point when you're the most bored? Ha, I've heard that at least a hundred times. --- Instead of focusing on products, it's better to pay attention to your own account. Not losing too much is the key. --- If you don't pay attention to price fluctuations, how do you make money? This logic is a bit... --- Why does it feel like this statement needs to be said every cycle? So annoying. --- Can the staked media approach really be trusted? Honestly, I still don't understand it.
