The second half of 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal period for the crypto market. Here's what's likely to unfold: the narrative shifts from pure speculation to something more grounded—faith paired with genuine security considerations takes center stage. You won't see the same level of hype that typically drives bull runs. Instead, conviction deepens as projects prove their worth through actual use cases and fundamental strength. This transition sets up a solid foundation for sustained expansion beyond 2026. The key difference? Organic, sustainable growth replaces the euphoria-driven cycles we've seen before. It's about building real value, not chasing temporary rallies.

Bro, this set of theories sounds great, but can it really break free from hype? I'm still a bit confused. It sounds good, but in the end, it all depends on who can actually deliver. Second half of 2026? I'll see what happens this year first. It's a bit idealistic; that's just how the market is, hype will never truly disappear. Nonsense, as long as new people enter, history will repeat itself. Is this really different? I've heard that too many times... When will real use cases actually drive the price? Logical and well-founded, but execution is the real test. But to be fair, having a solid fundamental support is always better than pure gambling. It might take a while before I believe in your set of theories. Sustainable growth sounds comfortable, but I'm just worried it might be another mirage.

Sounds good, but can we really abandon hype in the second half of 2026? I remain skeptical. It's the same old fundamental theory, but ultimately it's still about the market maker’s mood. Sustainable growth sounds wonderful, but the question is, will retail investors live to see that day?

Well said, but could it be another "wolf is coming" scenario, haha I'm just afraid that the same old story will repeat itself, hype with a different disguise and continue Is this time really different? I doubt it Sounds good, finally some practical voices Fundamentals? Do projects really do this? Doubt it Just making empty promises, let's wait and see I just want to know who is actually building something Anyway, everyone has their own story, we'll see when the time comes Interesting, maybe this time the tide is really turning

ngl This statement sounds good, but we all know that in the end, it still depends on who holds more chips in the market. --- Organic growth? Sounds like you're just hyping yourself up. I bet five bucks there will still be another round of疯狂. --- Haha, that's a nice way to put it. It'll just be another feast of shakeouts. --- Truly useful projects have long been proven. The problem is that the price simply can't reflect that. --- If it really goes like this in the second half of 2026, then it's just unbelievable lol. --- You're right, but I'm just worried that when institutions come in, it'll be another set of gameplay.

Sounds good, but are we really expecting substantial applications to be implemented only by the second half of 2026? Everyone's just bragging right now.

In other words, the bubble is going to burst, and only genuine projects will survive. --- Sounds good, but we still have to wait until 2026. For now, I'm just dollar-cost averaging. --- It's the same old spiel; I've heard this bull-bear cycle before. --- Fundamentals? Wake up, retail investors can't understand these at all. --- It would be great if that were the case, but I bet five bucks that there will be another round of madness in the second half of the year. --- Practical value is the key; I agree with this point. --- Wow, are you advising us not to go all-in? Haha. --- Sustainable growth sounds comfortable; can it make money? --- Wait, what do you mean by "genuine security"?

It sounds good, but the key is whether there are genuine projects willing to get down to earth and do the work.
