At the end of the day, genuine communities will outcompete everything else.
You can have the flashiest marketing, the biggest influencer list, or the most aggressive tokenomics. But if your foundation is hollow? It crumbles. Real communities are built on shared values, authentic engagement, and long-term vision—not just hype cycles.
The projects that thrive aren't necessarily the ones that shout the loudest. They're the ones where people actually believe in what's being built. Where members stick around through the bear markets. Where governance feels meaningful, not performative.
Web3 separates the pretenders from the real deal. And eventually, the signal wins out over the noise.

That's right. No matter how much those hollow projects hype themselves up, they can't withstand the test of time.

That's so true. Those flashy marketing tactics have long become outdated. Now it's about who can survive the bear market.
A true community is the moat. Just having influencers and tokenomics that hype up the price? Uh, that will just go to zero directly.
I've seen too many project teams loudly proclaim their vision, only for the team to run away as soon as the price drops... As the old saying goes, in a bear market, you see people's true intentions.

It sounds idealistic, but when the bear market comes, faith players still run away.

That's true, but to be honest, how many projects are really actively building their communities now? Most are just scam coins wearing a community facade.

No matter how nicely you put it, it's useless; in a bear market, people's true intentions are revealed.

Well said, really. Those projects that rely on marketing and influencers are exposed once the bear market arrives.
