Since the market crash on October 11, we’ve seen some institutions get impacted, some people leave the industry, and some competitors stop promoting their “XX Life Meme” tokens. Many friends have asked me whether a bear market is coming. I don’t have that answer — but there’s a more important question you should ask yourself: Do you still believe in the future of Bitcoin and the crypto industry? If your answer is no, then it may be the right moment to step away. But if your answer is yes, then even if a bear market is ahead, this is actually the best time to build — to create real value for users and to prepare for the industry’s next cycle of growth. Bear markets test conviction. Builders use them to get ready for the next bull run.
