Recently, I listened to a pro's sharing, and instead of talking about coin price trends, they discussed two particularly pragmatic truths.
**First: Passion Driven > Trend Driven**
He mentioned that a truly reliable team is never the kind that changes tracks every three months, jumping wherever the wind blows. Those that survive are the ones who are dedicated to a certain direction and do not give up even in the industry's winter. Do you often dig three feet into the ground just to chase the trend? To put it bluntly, that shows a lack of passion for this matter, and you won't survive through the cold periods of the cycle.
**The second: Continuous construction is the only way to navigate through cycles**
It is mentioned that Nvidia has fought in the chip field for 40 years before迎来了 the AI boom. In the cryptocurrency industry, the global penetration rate is still less than 1%, which is not a 100-meter sprint, but a super marathon. The winners are never the fastest starters, but those who have never surrendered and are always adding bricks and tiles.
These two suggestions may seem simple, but if you look into the ecosystem, you can indeed find practitioners. Projects like Giggle Academy aim at the long-term and challenging issue of educational equity, not just following trends to chase short-term hot topics. Their existence itself embodies "sustainable development."
There are also some community organizations that transform vision into tangible offline actions, repeatedly validating the weight of the word "sustainability." What they do is build value for real needs—this is precisely what all long-termists should be doing.

There's nothing wrong with what you said, it's just that too many people die because of short-term gains, watching coin prices every day like they're stocks, without ever considering what they truly love.
Passion is the best leverage, really.
In this day and age, those who still practice long-termism are truly tough individuals.
40 years, I can't even stay for a year.
Giggle Academy is genuinely creating real things, unlike some projects that cash out and run.
Encryption is still too early; we are all gamblers, betting on who can endure until the end.
In this industry winter with various bankruptcies, projects that can still persist are indeed worth watching.
To put it bluntly, it's a mindset issue; if you want to make quick money, don't talk about faith.
The biggest fear in a marathon is getting out of positions midway; just persisting means you've already won half the battle.

It sounds like a cliché, but it's really the truth... Those who switched tracks in March have already given up.
---
40 years of hard work just to catch the wave; how many years have we been at it? Let's keep pushing through.
---
That's true, but very few can truly build continuously; most are still waiting for the wind to come.
---
The phrase "driven by passion" is spot on, how many people waving the flag of passion are actually just greedy...
---
Giggle Academy is indeed interesting; at least it's not just a pure hype project.
---
A penetration rate of 1%... just thinking about it is exhausting, but this is the real opportunity.
---
Regarding capitulation or not, how many people have truly never surrendered?
---
It seems reasonable, but in practice, you have to let a few starve to know if the passion is strong enough.
---
Long-termism sounds great, but can you still persist when your account is down 50%?
---
It's never about being the fastest; it's always about being the toughest.

Well said, passion vs. trend, this is the dividing line between surviving to the next cycle and being eliminated.
Honestly, just look at those who change tracks every day, and you know they don't really believe in what they're doing.
The example of NVIDIA is incredible, 40 years... Looking back at our circle, how many have managed to survive two winters?
Giggle Academy, which quietly focuses on education, is indeed doing serious work without all those marketing gimmicks.
Long-termism sounds like a cliché, but those who truly practice it are indeed winning big.

To be honest, the passion-driven aspect really hit home; how many projects are just scam surfers, waiting for the wind to die down before they all pull out.
Those who can't survive the Bear Market are basically trash.
There are only a few real builders, while most are still betting on the next trend.
This is what web3 should look like, but unfortunately, 99% of people are still engaged in Cryptocurrency Trading.
That example of Nvidia is incredible; we only have a 1% penetration, and there are still opportunities, as long as we are genuinely doing the work.
Continuous building sounds simple but is difficult to do, as everyone wants to quickly recoup investment.
Community action > empty talk about vision, give it a thumbs up.
Definitely, those who don't chase trends tend to live longer.
