Filecoin has significant upside potential in this cycle—many analysts believe $10 is achievable given current market dynamics. What's striking is how few people actually understand what the protocol is architecting behind the scenes. The distributed storage infrastructure they're building addresses real infrastructure gaps. When mainstream adoption starts accelerating and the broader market catches on to the fundamental utility, it might already be too late for many to accumulate at current prices. The key is recognizing this value proposition early. For those tracking decentralized storage trends and Web3 infrastructure development, FIL warrants serious consideration in your portfolio allocation.

Really? FIL is almost forgotten, but there are still people optimistic about it.

Let's take a look at the data. How many times has the $10 price target been mentioned... The real question is where the storage demand is coming from. Need to clarify one point: the phrase "few people understand" can easily turn into a marketing narrative. The key is to look at on-chain activity and actual user growth. From a source code perspective, the protocol setup is indeed interesting, but whether the incentive mechanism can truly attract large-scale participants remains to be further verified.

I think distributed storage is indeed easy to overlook. By the time you actually need it, it might be too late.

NGL FIL is really often underestimated this time. There are so few projects in the storage track, and they are all just average. --- $10 is not a dream; the question is how long you can hold on. --- Distributed storage sounds good, but how many people are actually using it? --- Those who bought early have already made a fortune quietly. It's not too late to enter now. --- Web3 infrastructure, FIL does have some potential, but the ecosystem still needs to be built further. --- The computing power cost has directly eliminated a bunch of competitors. This advantage is quite crucial in the long run. --- Honestly, most people are just speculating without even understanding how FIL works. --- It's still a good time to get in now; it will be too late once mainstream adoption happens. --- Storage infrastructure is always needed; this is a necessity. --- I'm a bit tempted, but I need to research what real needs exist in the ecosystem first.

Back then, it dropped from over 1,300 to around 10, which really hurt me. That year, I bought seven or eight coins with 10,000 yuan. 🤐🤐🤐🤐

Honestly, not many people really understand what FIL is doing right now; most of the time is spent watching its price fluctuations. Waiting until the public reacts before starting to buy the dip? By then, it might already be too late to get cheap deals. Distributed storage definitely has a real demand, it just depends on when it will truly be implemented.

ngl Filecoin this time is indeed easily underestimated, ten dollars is not a dream.

Uh... ten dollars? Feels like another hype about concepts --- Distributed storage sounds impressive, but are there really many users? --- It's that same old "If you don't buy now, you'll regret it later" line, I don't buy it --- Fil's technology is fine, but the ecosystem is too cold and quiet --- It should have been clear long ago, most people are just after price action, they don't care what the protocol looks like --- Wait, is this really about fundamentals or just trying to cut people's blood and tears? --- Honestly, I don't see how this thing can be used on a large scale --- The phrase "It's too late" is getting annoying... every cycle people say the same --- Storage demand is real, but how much of the market fil can actually capture is really hard to say --- Another story of "Early recognition leads to big profits," but nobody knows

FIL this wave does have some substance, but very few people truly understand the logic behind storage. Waiting until the mainstream arrives to react would be too late. The main thing is to see whether the subsequent implementation can keep up with the hype.

ngl Filecoin this time really has some potential, ten dollars is really not a dream --- The storage track still depends on fundamentals, there are really too few people getting on board now --- By the time the explosion happens, it will be too late to regret, this is the sadness of early stages --- To be honest, most people are just buying concepts, they don't really understand what the protocol is doing --- Mainstream adoption has already caused the price to soar, it's not that I think too much, it's a pattern --- I feel that FIL is seriously undervalued, Web3 infrastructure still depends on it --- I just want to know when the real explosion point will be, can you give a timetable? --- I've been optimistic about distributed storage for a long time, just haven't figured out how to allocate positions --- Those entering now are betting on the future, no one really understands the roadmap clearly --- These infrastructure tokens often rise the most fiercely, but the risks are also really high
