If a crypto project wants to last longer, it must at least survive several rounds of 50-90% declines. The question is whether it can survive and how to survive, which directly tests the community's resilience and the commitments of liquidity providers. Many altcoins fail during bear markets, not because the project lacks technology, but because people's confidence has dispersed. Projects that can truly withstand multiple market cycle washouts usually have a sufficiently strong community behind them. Therefore, each major correction may seem like a crisis, but in reality, it is also a filter for those who truly believe. Those who survive until the next cycle are basically the winners.

Here we go again with that old talk about community resilience, I'm almost deaf from hearing it. It's not wrong to say that, but how many can truly withstand a 90% drop? I think most people just make excuses about their skills after their morale has already fallen apart.

The bear market is really a mirror that reveals who is truly committed and who is just cutting losses to escape with a fall.

I've said it before, the bear market is the real opportunity for strategic positioning. Those who are still cutting losses now will regret it in the next cycle. The point about community resilience is valid, but the true high ground still depends on who can persevere until the end.

That's right, the people who cut their losses now should be quite regretful. This round, it all depends on who can truly hold on. Honestly, projects without a reliable community tend to die quickly in a bear market. When people's spirits are broken, even the best technology is useless. Wait a minute, those who came in early and are still here are indeed impressive.

ngl, wallet clustering data from past bear markets literally shows the same pattern every time—community holders either diamond hand or panic sell within first 48hrs. can't fake that on-chain lol

Losing people's trust is indeed more fatal than technical issues; I have deep experience with this. The real test is during a bear market—who won't run away. A 50-90% decline, most people probably cleared their positions long ago, right? Community resilience is well said, but how many can actually persist? The winners in the next cycle are definitely those who are still around at the bottom.

That's right, a bear market is a test of character. Retail investors run away quickly, only true believers stay.
