One thing about this market is that it makes you question a lot of things.
The narratives you believed in. The projects you’ve spent time supporting. The work you’ve put in. Sometimes, even your decision to stay in this space.
I’ve spent years in Web3, and I’ve noticed how much the market influences the way we see everything.
When things are going well, there’s always something to look forward to. New projects, new narratives, new opportunities.
But when the excitement dies down, you start asking different questions.
Are we actually making progress? Are the things we’re building solving real problems? Would we still care about these projects if there was no money to be made from them right now?
Even in areas like oracles, where projects like $DIA are working on the infrastructure that connects onchain applications to real-world data, these questions still matter.
I don’t think they’re bad questions to ask. If anything, I think we need to ask them more often.
Because beyond the charts, the hype, and the constant search for the next big thing, there’s still work to be done in this space.
The question is whether we’re building things that will still matter when the market gets quiet.
