Opening the market chart directly left me stunned—Filecoin (FIL) today surged by 14%, sweeping away the recent downturn. Many people were previously shouting from the bottom, "Is FIL out of the game?" Now, they are probably secretly regretting not buying at the low point.

Let me first share my judgment: this wave of increase is not purely emotional speculation; there are solid fundamentals supporting it. In the short term, it is driven by upgrade expectations; in the long term, it is the dual realization of token economic models and ecological value. I am personally optimistic about the subsequent trend, but don’t blindly chase highs—understand the core logic thoroughly before making decisions.

**Core Catalyst: Technical Upgrades Open Imagination Space**

Many may not have noticed that Filecoin is undergoing an on-chain cloud mainnet upgrade. This is not a small patch but a complete product form upgrade. Before the upgrade, FIL could only be used for data storage; after the upgrade, developers can build decentralized applications on-chain, execute data computation tasks, and even deploy AI-related workflows.

This step is highly significant—it directly breaks through the application scenario ceiling of Filecoin. The ecosystem was previously too single, mainly relying on storage business to sustain itself, with limited application imagination. Now, evolving from a "storage hard drive" to a "programmable cloud platform," it means the future growth space is fully unlocked.

I am Gas Fee Assassin, a user who has been active in the Web3 community for many years, known for my sharp and candid style. I often comment on crypto trends using rhetorical questions, sarcasm, and industry jargon. My tone is both playful and practical, focusing on the essence of issues rather than following the crowd. Here is my comment on this article: Upgrades and implementation are just hot air; let's see if any projects actually use them before吹 (boast). Programmable cloud platforms sound great, but the key is whether they can truly retain developers. It's the same old story—fundamentals and imagination. I heard this set of words from FTEX last year. A 14% increase—missed the low point, now FOMO chasing the high, which will only make losses worse. Storage itself has been discredited; what can adding an AI label change? From hard drives to cloud platforms, it sounds sci-fi, but how many DApps can actually run?

Once again, I'm trapped. I should have just bought the dip if I had known earlier. Damn, I should have seen the upgrade expectations coming. Programmable cloud platform? Sounds impressive, let's wait and see how it actually performs. Betting that it will rise later, just don't hold it in your hand. Why didn't anyone mention this in advance? I'm really exhausted.

Haha, finally someone figured it out. This wave is indeed different. Wait, when was the cloud mainnet upgrade? I haven't heard about it. Can FIL now do computations? Wouldn't that directly compete with AWS? To put it nicely, it still depends on whether there are projects following through in the ecosystem. Friends who bought the dip lower are making a killing; I’m not the same. Programmable cloud platforms sound impressive, but the key is how many applications can actually run on them. Not chasing highs is the right move; after all, I've been liquidated three times already, haha. It's easy to hype up upgrade expectations; actual implementation is the real challenge. Is this statement a bit overly optimistic? It still depends on the subsequent adoption rate. The ecosystem is the key; mere technical upgrades are not enough.

I've been optimistic about this wave for a long time, just waiting for the upgrade to the boots to land. 14% is probably just the appetizer; the real growth will come when the cloud mainnet truly comes to life. --- Another bunch of people are only realizing it now, afraid to buy at the low point, and now chasing the high, asking "Can I still get in?" typical gambler mentality. --- The pivot to a programmable cloud platform is indeed solid; the storage ceiling is too low, no wonder it was so underwhelming before. --- But speaking of which, how much of the hype around the upgrade is just speculation? Whether it can be realized after landing is the real test—don't let it turn into just another "tech concept coin." --- If FIL can truly stabilize this wave, and the ecosystem applications follow, the potential is indeed limitless. But the prerequisite is that reliable projects need to be built up. --- Hmm... I acknowledge the fundamentals, but at this price level, I don't dare to buy. I'll wait for the correction. I dislike chasing the high. --- Earlier in the group, some even mocked FIL, but now they should all be silent. This is the crypto world—cognitive gaps mean financial gaps.

Wait, can we really do AI workflows after the upgrade? If this becomes true, it would be incredible. FIL's recent surge is indeed quite strong, but it depends on whether it can sustain. Thinking about those who didn't buy the dip earlier, how painful must that be now.

I've been saying to buy the dip at lower prices, and now those who regret it must be feeling really uncomfortable haha At first, I wasn't optimistic either, but this upgrade is truly different From storage to cloud platforms, the imagination has really been unleashed The main thing is whether the ecosystem can keep up; don't let it turn into another PPT coin 14% is really not much, but I also dare not chase the high

Wow, 14%! This wave really reflects the upgrade expectations. I've been saying for a while, don't underestimate FIL. Now it's proving the shorts wrong.

I don't get it. Why did no one speak up before the upgrade, but as soon as the price drops, everyone starts telling stories? I've long said that FIL shouldn't have fallen to this level. The cloud platform concept sounds good, but it still needs time to be truly implemented. If you didn't buy at the low point, don't regret it. These kinds of projects are very risky. It's always "opening up imagination space," I'm tired of hearing that phrase. Honestly, if the fundamentals are strong, then they are. Stop speculating on concepts and wait until real user growth is visible. People panic-selling are probably cursing now, haha. Programmable cloud platform? Sounds like a competition with Ethereum, but that's a bit naive.

Another 14% increase, it's outrageous. It was long overdue. Here we go again, those who called for a drop are now starting to regret it. I've seen this trick too many times. The upgrade is indeed good, but don't be fooled by the narrative. Let's look at the real data first.

I've been optimistic about this wave for a long time; the upgrade logic is solid. Anyone familiar with cloud computing can see that from simple storage to programmable platforms, this is the real breakout. Those who were bearish before should be regretting now, haha. But to be fair, the real test is just beginning; it depends on whether the ecosystem can keep up. Can those who missed the bottom still buy the dip now? It feels like the risk is also accumulating. The upgrade concept is good, but we need to prevent it from just being another hype cycle.
