#数字资产市场观察 Low tide moment: Who is swimming naked, and who is laying out their plans.



How many times have you seen this kind of scene?
When the price crashes, the curses rise up: "If I had known it was just air"; when there is a slight rebound, the same group of people rushes to get on board, wishing they could swallow their words from yesterday. Having been in this industry for eight years, I've seen this script play out time and again — but the truly valuable things can only be seen clearly after the tide goes out.

Don't just focus on the market's ups and downs. Prices are never "reality"; they are merely a bunch of people's bets on the future. A bear market is not about "declines"; it's a elimination round: once the hot money withdraws, all the inflated bubbles burst, and only the projects that really matter emerge. Just like the internet crash in 2000, where "concept companies" died overnight, the ones that survived became today's pillars.

The cryptocurrency industry is like the internet hitting the fast forward button. Leverage has compressed the cycles, but the iron law of technological change remains unchanged: bubbles are a prerequisite, and those who only tell stories will be brushed away, leaving behind the real technology and foundational work. Now new projects are popping up like weeds, but the truly usable ones are few and far between—this is not called failure, it's called reshuffling.

A bull market is a carnival of chaos where anyone can show their presence; a bear market is a live inspection, where it's clear who is playing for real and who is just pretending. Don't rush to shout "the winter has come"; when the tide goes out, the technological accumulation and genuine consensus that have been submerged at the bottom will be the fuel for the next surge.

So let me ask you: after this round of retreat, do you dare to bet that those "naked swimmers" will become the next leaders?

It has been eight years and we are still seeing the same routine cycle, it's really... a bit numbing. However, that being said, some things have indeed surfaced this time around, I have to admit.

ngl the oracle deviation metrics are screaming rn... those "naked swimmers" are just liquidation candles waiting to happen. real question is whether the actual tech stack holders survived the deleveraging cascade or if we're looking at another vapor play dressed up as infrastructure lmao

Rooted for eight years and still haven't grasped this system, dying of laughter Those still buying the dip now are all in a gambler's mindset; the real layout has already begun Speaking of those disappeared projects, were they really technical issues or just pure storytelling? The saying about testing in a bear market is not wrong; it's just that there are too many players who can't tell the difference What fuel will the next flight rely on, technology or consensus?

The Bear Market is about seeing who is really building vs who is just blowing hot air. This time it can indeed filter out a lot of real stuff. Let the naked swimmers drown, anyway, the next bull run will just bring a bunch of new suckers. By the way, those small projects that are still holding on now are really interesting, but most of them are still just daydreaming. From this round of market activity, I’ve actually discovered a few who are still seriously working on technology. Let’s talk after the rebound. You’re not wrong; prices are just an illusion, the underlying assets are the real deal. It’s the same old rhetoric, but I’ve definitely seen too many people calling for a tenfold increase in a bull run and drop to zero in a bear market. I kind of feel like I’m one of those naked swimmers you mentioned... haha. So let me ask, what are those who dare to gamble doing now? Or are they all hiding away?

Ha, with eight years of experience, I can indeed see through it, but there are still quite a few who are swimming naked now. Gambling? I have long been lying in ambush at the bottom, just waiting to see who can last until dawn. Projects that tell stories are dying all around, this reshuffling is indeed ruthless. However, those who say they are laying out plans, could it be that they are just talking the talk?

It's been eight years and you're still repeating this set of rhetoric; those who are really making money have long stopped talking. This round is going to see another wave of projects die, the close all positions conference has begun. It sounds nice, but the question is, what do you have in your hands?
