What exactly is the hype around the AI boom and the crypto bear market?

Honestly, those few who hold the narrative power can influence public opinion and hijack our attention. In recent years, blockchain has become increasingly speculative, with market noise everywhere. AI hype, price fluctuations, various FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt)—it's dazzling and overwhelming.

But the key question is—do these waves truly reflect real market difficulties, or are they just collective anxieties within an echo chamber?

Just look at the data. During a bear market, some projects quietly build, whales bottom fish, developers iterate. Meanwhile, the public discourse is filled with pessimism and exit voices. Both worlds coexist simultaneously.

AI bubble, crypto winter? These labels spread easily, but the market's true logic is often drowned out by noise. Savvy investors have long learned—to ignore the distractions, focus on fundamentals, and seek opportunities.

Whales are bottoming out while retail investors are still listening to FUD. That's the gap. --- Basically, it's an information war. Who will cooperate with you to slowly analyze the fundamentals? --- Two worlds coexist, and I am losing money in the third world. --- Bear market clears out, bull market arrives. Nonsense literature is pointless. --- Public opinion in the crypto circle is always opposite to reality. When it's time to cut losses, listen to the bull market theory; when it's time to buy the dip, listen to the bear market theory. --- Developers are building, I am watching the K-line fall into a desert, my mindset is collapsing. --- Tags are easy to spread, but I am prone to hitting the limit down. That’s the real situation. --- Ignoring noise is not easy. When the account is plunging, noise becomes the main melody. --- Investor vs. retail investor, I belong to the wave that got harvested. --- AI AI AI, it's better to study who is really harvesting the leeks.

When whales bottom out, public opinion is crying in misery, and that's almost the current rhythm. Basically, it's an information war—whoever has a louder voice wins. Two worlds? No, it's one world with two financial reports. Bear markets are where hidden dragons and crouching tigers reside; retail investors have all left so that builders can focus. When FUD is everywhere, it's time to think in the opposite direction—what's the probability that most people are wrong? Noise is just noise; you have to sift through it to find the signal. Label theory spreads easily, but what is actually spread is never the truth. You've heard the phrase "look at the fundamentals" a thousand times; how many actually do it?
