2025 will not be a nationwide carnival of a bull market feast. Instead, it will be the most brutal year of filtering—many speculators, pseudo-innovative projects, and "zombie projects" will be ruthlessly eliminated.

Funds that enter by luck will eventually have to lose back with strength. This is the iron law of the market. Those projects that only have concepts but no real products or users will gradually reveal their true nature in 2025. The "three no's" label—no product, no users, no cash flow—is a death sentence.

If 2025 is seen as a reshuffling period, then 2026 will be the real starting line. Next year, the market's main logic will shift—long-termism will regain the spotlight.

Don’t expect 2026 to repeat the crazy surge of the past. This recovery will be a "slow bull" pace, gentle and lasting, completely different from the short-term emotional-driven explosive market. The crypto market is bidding farewell to barbaric expansion and entering a true maturity phase.

The ultimate winners in the market are often those who are not confused during bear markets and persist in honing their fundamentals. In an era full of uncertainties, "long-termism" is the most reliable compass in your hand.

Luck entered the market, but skill lost out. There's nothing wrong with what you're saying this time. Well said, just waiting to see who slips up. A slow bull run is the real deal, much more reliable than a sudden surge. Forget about the three-no projects, they should be cleared out by 2025. I believe in long-termism; mastering the fundamentals is the key. Here we go again, promoting long-termism. Alright, I agree. Good grief, 2026 is just the beginning? Then I have to hold on.

That's right, what is meant to come will come eventually, and those air projects will eventually reveal their true nature. Really, those who rely on luck to get in will eventually get out; the market is so brutal. The reshuffle in 2025, and 2026 will be the true start of the game. Be prepared for a long-term battle. Slow bull markets are understandable to everyone, the difficult part is holding on and not being shaken out. In a bear market, there are few people who are not confused, and even fewer projects that can survive until 2026. To put it simply, it's still the same story—no product, no users, no cash flow. No matter how much you boast or listen, it's all talk. This round of recovery won't be as crazy as before; a gentle and lasting rebound will instead test patience. Short-term players should be panicking now; long-termism is finally making a comeback.

There's nothing wrong with that. Those still chasing hype are probably going to suffer big losses. The speculative frenzy is indeed nearing its end, and the projects that get淘汰 (eliminated) deserve it. Three-no projects (no team, no technology, no product) will die sooner or later. This reshuffle is inevitable, and 2026 will truly reveal who has real strength. A slow bull market is more healing than a sudden surge. We're finally entering a mature phase.

ngl the "three无s" framing is a bit reductive... historically precedent suggests market selection mechanisms operate across multiple dimensions, not just binary alive/dead states. path dependency matters here.

Well said, this time it's really a matter of who can survive until next year.

To be honest, I'm tired of this logic... but it really hits the mark. Those newbies who only come in driven by FOMO should be cut off. That's how crypto should be, with the strong replacing the weak.

No problem with that, another wave of rug pulls is coming Dog coin is about to die in batches, let's see who can hold on Refining basic skills hits hard, I need to reflect A slow bull market is still more comfortable than a roller coaster, just mentally exhausting Last year I made money by luck, this year I should pay it back, right
