The market has fallen into a strange silence. The fear index has dropped to 42, retail investors have long since exited, and large funds are watching from the shadows. Recent disturbances—such as a well-known investment firm's controversial actions and the rapid adjustment of social platform algorithms—are merely amplifications of anxiety in a stagnant game. This pool is drying up, and new inflows have yet to arrive.



As an investor who experienced 2018, the current rhythm feels all too familiar. That sense of suppression, dullness, and waking up every day asking "Will it drop further?" is replaying again and again. The movements of Bitcoin and Ethereum are slow and boring, as if the entire market has frozen.

But this could be the most critical moment. Don't chase after eye-catching concepts, and don't bet on those虚的热点. The real opportunities are hidden in the corners of the Ethereum ecosystem—those experiments without豪华项目方, entirely sustained by community信念. They are fighting against market冷漠 in the most clumsy ways, and this is the most hardcore共识.

In such a market,信念 becomes more valuable than anything else. Those who can endure this period are often the next winners.

The pool is dry, the big players have hidden away, and honestly, it's a test of who can endure. I think this round is just a filter, true believers in Ethereum won't be scared off by these fluctuations. That narrative from 2018 is coming back again, it's a bit tiring. Those unpopular projects in the corner might actually be interesting; how much community consensus is worth will depend on how the next round performs. The fact that the anxiety index is so low feels a bit off; is it really calm before the storm or just a lull before the chaos? It's true that not chasing hot topics is correct, but to be honest, most people simply can't do it and will still get caught off guard.

If you endure it, you'll win. That's right. But I still have to ask, can you really make it through this time?

Damn, it's the same old story. We've been hearing the 2018 story for so many years, aren't you tired of it? Insisting on doing experiments? Using community faith as a livelihood? Bro, we need to eat too. Big funds watching from the shadows? That's bullshit; they haven't really made up their minds either. Wait, can we really wait for the next round? I don't really believe it.

It's the same old story... The old leeks who survived in 2018 now love to talk about "faith." I think it's just that they've been trapped too deeply, using poetic language to brainwash themselves.

The phrase "The pond drying up" hit home. Retail investors have fled, and big players are staying silent. It's really just like 2018, with nothing happening. Hardcore projects are indeed in the corner, but honestly, there aren't many that can be found. Who can hold on this time will be the winner, but I still want to ask, can we really wait for the influx of fresh funds?
