I actually think that building in a bull market is much harder. It requires a lot more discipline and much stronger convictions.

During a bear market, you are practically on your own and comparisons make sense: of course your valuation is 1/1000 of the valuation of UNI, it makes sense.

During a bull market, it's when everyone is pressuring you. Use KOLs, add staking, you need FOMO, your valuation is 1/10 of this useless coin that launched just 10 hours ago, the hot thing is prediction markets, wait, now it's app-specific chains, oh, wait, you should use AI agents.

the NFT boom was the hardest time to build for me, it happened exactly that, everyone was chasing a new trend every 3 weeks and pivots happened so often

💯 Agree
I don't think anyone can build anything really useful in a bull market. The product feedback loop is completely broken and nothing makes sense. 

It's easy to get lost in the noise, ...or even believe that we have earned it.

So total cryptocoin market cap just hit $0.5T today. But have we *earned* it?
