If you stay in this circle for a long time, that invisible anxiety is like a shadow always following you. New features emerge one after another, narrative logic changes every three days, and people around you are all chasing hot topics. If you pause even slightly, you feel like you're being eliminated.

But honestly, the people who truly get things done are never those who come up with countless tricks or frequently switch tracks.

My daily routine is actually just repetitive—responding to fans' questions, verifying data, and meeting various usage expectations. There’s nothing astonishing, no trending topics, and it’s even hard to feel obvious progress. Just passing day after day.

It wasn’t until I encountered products like Walrus that I gained a new understanding: Persistently doing one thing well is itself a rare ability.

It doesn’t rely on frequent updates to create buzz, nor does it follow market sentiment—bull markets are steady, and bear markets still operate reliably. The underlying logic is solid, so you don’t have to worry about foundational issues when using it, allowing you to focus your energy on your own work. This sense of consistent stability is much more precious than most people imagine.

In fact, behind this is the reality that true progress is often invisible, and optimization doesn’t necessarily require flashy methods. The best products or services are those that everyone can’t live without but don’t talk about every day. It sounds a bit counterintuitive, but in the highly volatile environment of the crypto world, this silent reliability is precisely the most valuable.

Really, those who chase hot topics are all dead; those who quietly lay bricks are the ones who survive. --- Sticking to one thing is indeed difficult, but it's much better than switching tracks every day. --- Stability may sound boring, but in the crypto world, it's a lifesaver. --- Products that don't undergo redesigns or hype are actually the most reassuring, to be honest. --- Most anxiety comes from watching others; those who focus on doing their work are actually free from this worry. --- Things like Walrus are only useful when they're extremely boring, understand? --- The biggest shortage in the crypto world is this kind of "nothing special" sense of stability. --- Frequently changing tracks is just looking for trouble; it's a waste of life. --- Silent reliability > frequent updates, this logic is clear. --- With a solid foundation, you fear no storms; just get to work and do it well with few words.

Here are some distinctive and differentiated comments: --- **Comment 1:** Well said, I'm really exhausted from chasing hot topics every day **Comment 2:** Products that can survive both bull and bear markets are the real deal **Comment 3:** Whether anxious or not, I've seen through these two years too clearly **Comment 4:** Stability has indeed been seriously underestimated; too many people are switching tracks **Comment 5:** I agree with the saying "silent and reliable," but honestly, how many can really do it **Comment 6:** Not rebranding or riding the hot trends—such scenes are truly rare in the crypto world **Comment 7:** It sounds very philosophical, but living makes you realize how much stability is worth **Comment 8:** I am convinced by the solid underlying logic **Comment 9:** People forced to chase hot topics every day will probably wake up from this realization **Comment 10:** Repetitive work is actually the biggest test of a person

You're right, in the past two years, many projects have died chasing hot trends. The ones that stay stable and alive are actually not sexy but the most valuable. It's exhausting. --- Stability is really underestimated. People in the crypto world all want explosive growth, but the hardest part is actually holding on. --- I'm a bit annoyed by those who tinker every day, and in the end, nothing is accomplished but they keep bragging. --- That's why I trust teams that don't speak out much; quietly doing their work is actually more reliable. --- Anxiety is indeed a common problem in this circle, but for most people, their anxiety is just self-inflicted. --- Really, I increasingly believe that products that don't redesign or chase hot topics are the true winners, just too quiet for people to notice. --- The fact that they can operate steadily in both bull and bear markets is a direct highlight; everything else is just superficial. --- Chasing hot trends ultimately is like drawing water with a bamboo basket; it's better to do one thing to perfection.

You are absolutely right, this is my true reflection. --- Chasing hot topics every day makes you the most vulnerable to being cut, while those who are rooted in their work earn more. --- Stability is seriously underestimated; most people are still chasing dreams. --- Not updating or making statements actually leads to the longest survival; this logic is too counterintuitive in the crypto circle. --- Anxiety comes from comparison. When others post updates and you have no activity, you panic. But actually, this is fundamentally wrong. --- Sticking to one thing is very difficult. Most people want to change after less than three months. --- Reliability doesn’t have hype but is life-saving. I now tend to choose products that don’t cause fuss. --- Just by looking at this theory, you can tell the author has truly been immersed in the crypto circle, not just talking on paper. --- The most lacking thing in the crypto world is this kind of honest stability. While everyone is creating concepts, you focus on making products. --- Deeply agree. I used to follow hot trends too, but now I realize that’s the most exhausting way.

This guy is right, sticking to one thing is really more effective than trying many different things. Really, most of the time, just living steadily is already winning. Once you see through it, anxiety is just yourself scaring yourself. Not chasing hot topics actually leads to a longer life, it's interesting. This is the reason I persist—boring but worth it.

Hey, isn't this just about the game-theoretic returns of stability? Infrastructure with low interaction costs is indeed easy to overlook. People chasing hot topics are often engaged in zero-sum games, and in the end, everyone loses... On-chain data speaks for itself; the truly silent things are actually accumulating value.

You're so right, chasing hot topics is really exhausting. Copying the bottom until you get depressed, might as well stick to one direction. Stability is the key, don't tell me about innovation and iteration. Whenever market sentiment changes, everything crashes—I'm tired of the show. Sticking to the essence is the real win, there's nothing wrong with that.

That really hit me. People who are always chasing the latest trend just can't go far. Constantly messing around is actually a waste. Stability, to put it simply, is a luxury. Honestly, compared to flashy things, I trust those who never drop the ball more. That's why I gave up switching tracks frequently; it's exhausting. It sounds虚, but in the crypto world, it's truly the most scarce quality. Anxiety is real, but following the trend won't change anything. Stability is what the crypto圈缺得最凶. I agree, doing one thing well is more valuable than anything else.
