When market sentiment fluctuates, sticking to your own strategy is often more important. Focus on long-term development rather than chasing short-term noise — this is the key to establishing a foothold in the crypto ecosystem.

Many people understand Web3 as a simple combination of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, but this perception is far from deep enough. The essence of Web3 is to redefine trust mechanisms. It breaks the traditional intermediary model, allowing trust to no longer depend on a single institution, but to be established through transparent and verifiable protocols.

What does this mean? It means participants can collaborate in a more open and equitable environment. Whether it's financial interactions, data sharing, or community governance, they can break free from centralized bottlenecks. Web3 is not about hype around coin prices, but about building a new way of collaboration. Practicing this philosophy is the only way to see the true logic of the market.

Long-termism has been talked about for years, but very few people can truly stick to it. --- That's right, but most people come in wanting to make quick money. Who really cares about trust mechanisms? --- Web3 is about removing middlemen to earn the spread, but the problem is that most people simply don't understand the true value of decentralization. --- I can't help but laugh. These days, people still talk about long-term development, but as soon as the market dips, they are the first to run. --- New collaboration methods are new, but the game rules haven't changed; the strong are still the winners. --- It's all just playing with concepts; how many projects can really be implemented? --- Sounds good, but how many projects have you actually seen that are truly based on this philosophy?

Long-termism can be a bit tiring to hear, but it is indeed the truth... The key is to put it into practice. Sticking to the strategy is one thing, but who has really done it? Regarding the Web3 trust mechanism, what you said is correct... but it still feels like there are many pitfalls that haven't been stepped into. Price speculation and long-term development, frankly, are just those people harvesting the leeks... The system has changed, but human nature hasn't. Open and equal, right? Then why do big influencers still call the shots... I'm not arguing, just wondering if there are truly decentralized projects out there.

Long-termism is really difficult, but that's how the crypto world is. Only those who persevere can win. Web3 is a trust protocol, well said. But most people still just want to get rich quickly. Breaking intermediaries? Sounds good, but very few actually use it. Everyone understands the principle, but execution is hell. Sticking to the strategy is easy to say. Decentralized governance is the most interesting part; finally someone has explained it thoroughly. There's too much noise; sometimes you really have to close your eyes and just listen to yourself. Web3's approach to changing collaboration methods is fresh, but it needs time to prove itself. Making quick money in the short term versus long-term development will always be a trade-off.

Well said, but the reality is that most people are still chasing gains and selling on dips. They claim to have conviction, but it's really just a leek mentality. Long-term development? Uh... you need enough capital to survive until that day. The Web3 trust mechanism theory sounds sophisticated, but we haven't seen a killer app truly materialize yet. However, indeed, those who keep shouting "bankrupt" and then turn around a year later are basically those who have persisted through this.
