A certain popular project is suspected to have security risks, which reminds me of the common "quitting" tactics during a bear market.

One is hackers lurking for a long time, waiting for the right moment to strike. Two is internal employees stealing and then turning against the project. Three is the project team staging a rug pull to give investors an "explanation." Four is the team giving up entirely, leading to large-scale layoffs and the project being left unmaintained and vulnerable to attacks.

The bear market is like a big cleanup, clearing out projects with shaky foundations. But history shows that every project that truly survives and breaks out of the bear market often experiences explosive growth in the next bull run. So instead of panicking, it's better to take the opportunity to identify— which projects are worth waiting for the bull market, and which are just fleeting.

Wishing everyone can live to see that day.

It's the same old trick, every bear market a bunch of people get wiped out. Those who can't survive until the bull market are really done for. The worst are the insiders; projects that can be bottomed out don't need to run away at all. Once again, I have to pay tuition; can anyone teach me how to choose? History repeats itself, but my wallet can't keep up with the cycle.

Here we go again, really annoying. But to be fair, the few who survived are indeed tough. Who got shot this time? Come clean, no need to hide. I've seen too many self-directed dramas, just watching the fun. In a bear market, it's all about who can hold on. I bet it can survive. After a rug pull, still want to turn things around? First, see how many people are left in the community. Sounds good, but who the hell dares to go all-in now? This is the qualifying round; killing off more trash projects saves time in the long run. The internal traitor is the most ruthless, impossible to guard against. We agreed to ride together to the bull market. Is the truth of a bear market really that simple and brutal? Feels like there are insider secrets. Will the projects that survive really take off, or are they all doomed together? If the foundation isn't solid, it's bound to die early. Can't blame the market. To reach the day of the bull market, the prerequisite is to survive tomorrow first.

Another project has run into trouble, this time a security vulnerability? The bear market really is a test of character. Those who survive this round will fly in the next. The most hateful are internal spies; it's better to be hacked and robbed than to run away with a rug pull. Instead of worrying blindly, it's better to see who is still working seriously. Making it to the bull market day is a win. Honestly, anyone who can persist now is a winner. Another project is collapsing and laying off staff; it's time to see the true nature of these projects. The screening phase has begun, everyone, don't get caught off guard. Bear market eliminations often target those who should be eliminated, so it's not unfair. Let's wait and see who can survive this storm.

Another one? This bear market really makes everything look worse than a sieve, with trash projects one after another revealing their true colors. --- The insider is the most disgusting, harder to guard against than hackers. --- What sounds good is to identify them, but honestly it's just gambling. Anyway, I can't afford to gamble anymore. --- Living until the bull market day? Bro, I’d be happy just to make it to tomorrow. --- In times like these, you can see clearly who is really working and who is just air. --- Teams that give up are truly the worst; taking the money and acting as if they’re hands-off managers, no wonder they get kicked out. --- Every bear market has the same story, but why are those projects still alive? --- Instead of waiting for the bull market, it’s better to stay alive. These days, not running away is already a conscientious project. --- Rugging is fun for a moment, rugging forever is the current state of Web3. --- I advise you to use cold wallets more; the safest defense is distrust.

It's the same old trick, the insider is the most ruthless. The bear market shakeout is truly brutal; only the tough survive. Honestly, this is the time that tests your judgment the most; you need to carefully discern. What are you panicking for? Wait for the bull market; stay committed to what you believe in. Insider theft is really outrageous; it's hard to guard against. A bear market is like a sieve, filtering out the real from the fake. Instead of stressing over it, it's better to calmly choose your path. Those who survive this round are definitely the next dark horses. Teams that give up directly get eliminated, so they won't hold us back.

It's another bear market purge. Who's next this time? The internal traitor is the most disgusting, but it's also good—no need to get cut later. The projects that survive are indeed strong, but only if they manage to survive in the first place.

It's the same old story, insiders are even more ruthless than hackers. In the bear market elimination race, only those who survive are truly strong. With so many rugs, you need to have good judgment. The road to the bull market is too long; can we really hold on? Each project looks like it's made of paper. Who can still withstand this round? Projects with poor fundamentals should have been eliminated long ago. Surviving this wave is incredible; the next one will really double. Every time, we say we need to identify scams, but we still get caught. I bet five dollars this project will fail. The bear market tests faith the most; I'm starting to lose mine.

It's the same story again. Every bear market cycle, a batch dies off, and only those who survive are qualified to rise. The problem is that most people don't even wait for that day; they go all-in during the rebound.

It's the same old trick, the bear market clearing out moment always comes. The insider is the most ruthless, even more unpredictable than hackers. Only those who survive are the real ones, everyone else is just a sidekick. Wait, could this time be one of those situations where the project is deliberately sabotaged and hacked? Identifying projects is even more difficult than bottom-fishing. Bet on who can survive until the next bull market.
