#Strategy加仓BTC Veteran players who have been in the crypto world for years will admit a harsh reality: the projects truly worth investing in must have solid DAO mechanisms and a pure blockchain underlying support. This is the guarantee of community value.

On the other hand, those projects that become popular for a while—well-designed concepts, referral and rebate models, and vague promises—are essentially harvesting machines. Participants either end up as the last bagholders or get repeatedly and creatively "cut" like chives. The cost of entry is usually just one thing: losing money.

Instead of chasing hot trends, it's better to return to the fundamentals. Clearly understand the community governance structure, on-chain data transparency, and real development progress—these are the key factors in judging a project's life or death. The logic behind $BTC holdings, the formation of community consensus, and those projects that have survived the bear market—what they can teach you is far more than what you learn from being scammed once.

You're absolutely right. The crypto world is currently a mess, with very few genuine projects. Only those who survive the bear market are truly valuable; the rest are just schemes to harvest retail investors. Instead of blindly chasing trends, it's better to hold onto BTC firmly—simple, straightforward, and risk-free. Those so-called concept king projects have already cooled off, and it's truly astonishing that some people are still buying into them. Getting back to basics is correct; on-chain data tells the truth and doesn't lie. Now I am dead set on this—without real development progress, I won't invest a single cent.

You're so right. It's really time to wake up from chasing those flashy concepts. A solid DAO mechanism is truly good; everything else is just a facade. Projects that have survived two bear markets are worth paying attention to. Others? Ha.

That's right. Looking at this round, the projects that truly survive all have some decent infrastructure supporting them at the core. Speaking of which, those projects that constantly boast about DAO governance, when you check their on-chain data, are terribly bad. I directly pass on those. Only projects that survive the bear market are worth paying attention to; the rest are just stories.

That's right, but I'm afraid some people are still dreaming of getting rich overnight.

Yeah, you're right. Transparency of on-chain data is really key. I usually make decisions after reviewing contract audit reports. The DAO mechanism must operate genuinely; it can't just be hype in the white paper. I have deep experience with this. Projects that survive a bear market truly have some skills; they must include such features in their allocations. Honestly, it's still about being able to analyze on-chain wallet flows and not getting led astray by narratives. After several cycles of baptism, I now only trust projects that store funds in multi-signature wallets. Instead of chasing hot topics, it's better to study contract risk factors more thoroughly—it's less stressful. The real value investment is understanding the importance of cold wallets and holding them long-term. I generally avoid projects that skyrocket overnight; the risk factor is too high.

Starting to talk about DAO and the underlying chain again, it's not wrong but it's getting boring. The key point is that most people can't tell the difference between real DAO and fake DAO. Wait, those rebate schemes are really outrageous. I haven't touched them since the days when my social circle was exploding. BTC is still a must-have. Others? Haha, let's wait for the bear market first.

Uh, honestly, there's nothing wrong with that... but I think most people still won't listen. They have to experience a loss themselves to realize the pain.

Honestly, those still chasing hot topics should wake up; there's really no future in it.

There's nothing wrong with that, but very few people can actually do it... Looking at data, digging through code, researching community governance—who really has the patience to do this?
