【FIL got scolded for three years, but it’s quietly building something real】
Lately I’ve seen many people in groups say FIL has long since run out of steam, so you can delete it from your watchlist. Honestly, every time I hear this, I want to ask back: have you really figured out what “it’s cooled off” *because of*?
A lot of people criticize FIL because they think the storage sector is a false proposition. But I’ve talked with a few friends who do data business—yes, there are people using Filecoin for cold-storage backups, where prices are low and the capacity is sufficient. Of course, this is still far from “disrupting AWS.” But if you lower expectations from “revolutionary” to “a supplement under the shadow of Amazon,” then it doesn’t sound so far-fetched anymore.
Alright, back to how FIL might move next.
I lean toward a slightly upward oscillation—here’s my call: ➡️ oscillation, with the range biased upward. There are three reasons:
First, an oversold drop is itself a reason. FIL has fallen by nearly 100x from its highs. That kind of drawdown can’t be explained by whether the project is “cool” or not; a big part of it is extreme release of market sentiment. The point $ 1 has accumulated a large amount of trapped capital, but that also means the momentum to keep smashing downward is relatively limited.
Second, BTC’s share has pulled back from the 60% high over the past couple of days, and market funds are starting to diversify. Low-valuation, small-cap tokens often show more elasticity in this phase. FIL, as the best liquidity option in the storage sector, could become one of the choices for those funds.
Third, sentiment isn’t out of control. FGI 67 isn’t greedy, and the weekly average is only around 71—market sentiment is still fairly rational. In situations like this, it’s usually not a top; it’s more often a phase of building up energy.
But what does all this mean in practice? In plain terms: most of FIL holders are long-standing “old long-term bagholders” who are deeply trapped. New money comes in to push the price up, but above them is a whole wall of sell pressure from people waiting to get out at breakeven. So my view is: it can bounce, but don’t expect a V-shaped reversal—more likely, it’s an oscillation with the center of gravity gradually inching upward.
When would I be wrong? If next week the entire storage sector suddenly receives truly substantial large-scale commercial adoption news, or if the crypto market as a whole enters a violent bull run, then I’d have to revise my judgment. But if it’s only a technical rebound without any fundamental support, then the upward-oscillation view may turn into a downward one.
So everyone—do you think this storage demand is real, or has it always been just Web3 self-entertainment?
⬆️ bullish / ⬇️ bearish / ➡️ oscillation—where do you stand? Next week, we’ll see who’s right.
