One of the main criteria for a project to absolutely soar in the next bull cycle is staying relevant.There are actually early signs to know if your favorite project can make a comeback or not.𝙈𝙖𝙟𝙤𝙧 𝙎𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙧: it doesn't have anything to do with the tech 👇 It may seem strange, but most crypto projects do not fail because the technology isn’t ground-breaking.It's mostly because off:• Marketing• Timeline• Criticism• Rules• Incidents• Community Lets see how to recognize these early.1️⃣ MARKETING You can have the single best product in the entire world and still fail.A great project is a dead project if no one knows about it.If you see no single efforts towards marketing (blogs, influencers, partners,...) the token will be dead soon.2️⃣ TIMELINEMissing a deadline is acceptable. Doing it all the time is not.The team can be super smart and well skilled but terrible at managing a business.Don't mistake brilliance for incompetence. Even if they are really great and friendly people.3️⃣ CRITICISMWhen founders and project leaders dodge criticism or fail to provide clear answers it's either a sign of secrecy or ignorance.Even worse, some laugh it away!4️⃣ RULESWhen a project is decentralized, it means a fellow cannot just wake up one morning and change the rules.Changing the rules of participation without the appropriate consensus is a sign of falsehood.See a lot of sudden changes for better or for worse?Huge red flag.5️⃣ INCIDENTSThe market doesn't favor large incidents very well.Quite often projects want to rebuild their protocol after they've met failure after failure.Even with the right intentions projects usually don't recover.Bitconnect, luna,... Anyone?6️⃣ COMMUNITYWe all like to think strong fundamentals drive token value right?In reality it's the community that does free marketing, answer questions and build reputation.A strong community can succeed ANY project.

Today marks exactly 701 days since the market entered a bearish cycleIn another 32 days, this cycle will have lasted exactly 2 yearsNovember 10, 2021, $BTC reached its ATH of $69,000In 41 days, it will be the one-year anniversary of when $BTC hit the cycle's low at $15,400In 2023, the following occurred: ➡︎ Activity on chains was falling ➡︎ Stablecoin Market Cap was falling ➡︎ There were hundreds of hacks and exploits ➡︎ People capitulated from this market and continue to do so to this dayDespite all the bearish things, you're reading this and are still here.➤ But narratives have never been canceled. This is what exists in any market. Those are the ideas that allow you to make money - whether it's bulls, bears, or stagnation.◢ Let's take a look at the narratives that unfolded in 2023: ➛ $ETH NFTs ➛ $SOL comeback ➛ AI ➛ LSD ➛ $OP ecosystem ➛ $ARB ecosystem ➛ Airdrops ➛ NFTfi ➛ Curve ecosystem ➛ zk hype ➛ Perp DEX ➛ $CANTO ➛ Chinese coins ➛ $PEPE ➛ Memecoins Season ➛ Ordinals ➛ LSTfi ➛ Gamblefi ➛ Telegram Bots ➛ Base Ecosystem ➛ "blue" tech ➛ Q4 has yet to make a big difference, but the RWA sector is becoming more and more recognized.✔ With less than three months to go until the end of this year, it's too late to quit.

I personally believe the RWA sector in DeFi will be a huge narrative that will continue to grow the longer crypto as a market grows.The real estate industry is valuated above 300 trillion dollars and many large firms have expressed support for the tokenization of real estate.There are quite a few projects like @PropChainGlobal making their entry and showing the blockchain benefits.Imagine buying or selling investments more quickly.Increasing transparency and bypassing hidden costs.Speeding up the proces of ownership.The potential is pretty huge and following this sector including the key projects involved in this will be something I'll keep looking in more and more as the market matures.
