Just caught up on the Nikiter Biers situation in the infoFi space—rough patch, no doubt. But here's the thing: when a project stumbles, it doesn't mean the strategy dies with it.

Time to recalibrate. There's always a path forward, even when the map looks blank.

Moving forward, I'm shifting how I pick projects. Less about riding the hype wave, more about genuine alignment. The mindshare chase was exhausting anyway. Real talk: backing projects that resonate on fundamentals hits different. Focus on the tech, the team, the actual utility—that's where the wins compound.

The market will keep testing us. But smarter bets beat bigger bets every time.

To be honest, Nikiter Biers' failure this time was quite heartbreaking, but upon reflection, I realize I need to calmly review and analyze. Fundamentals are ultimately the true winners; I'm really tired of hype.

Oh my, another project collapsed, but to be honest, this wave actually made me more sober.

Project failure is not the end, but rather a good opportunity to see the true nature. The early internet bubble also went through this, and those who truly survived did not rely on hype.

Nah, for real, fundamentals are what last forever. That hype wave approach should have been abandoned long ago.

ngl, this reflection feels quite sincere, but I've heard this fundamentals spiel many times before... Will I be able to stick with it the next time the project picks up?

Really, a good project won't die just because of a single setback. When choosing a project, it still depends on the fundamentals; don't always follow the trend.

Huh? Another crash site, but this time it feels a bit different. A temporary setback doesn't change much; the key is how to adjust your mindset and keep going. The previous approach of chasing hype was indeed exhausting. This time, I plan to take a different route—focus on fundamentals, look at the team's strength, and only get in when there's real application. Instead of blindly increasing bets, a calm and calculated move has a better chance of winning. The market will continue to mess with us, but playing smart is always more enjoyable than playing big.

Fundamentals never lie, and those projects that rely on hype will eventually fall into the wrong hands.

Wow, Nikiter Biers' thing is indeed quite dramatic... but I have to say, this kind of situation is actually an opportunity to see who really understands it.
