Raising capital? That's the easier part. Plenty of projects can attract funding in bull markets. But building a real community—one that actually sticks around through volatility and believes in the vision—now that's the real grind. Money comes and goes, but community? That's what keeps a project alive when liquidity dries up and hype fades. Any serious crypto project knows the difference.

That's right, fundraising is really nothing much; in a bull market, who doesn't cut leeks? The key is to have loyal fans—that's the real skill.

Exactly right, fundraising is really nothing. In a bull market, anyone can suck blood, but projects that survive the bear market... are few and far between. The community is the lifeline.

Community is the real key; the fundraising tactics are just the appetizer. I've seen too many projects spend money on promotion, only to see people's hearts scatter; it's still the loyal fans who help survive the bear market and last longer.

To be honest, fundraising is just a facade. The real healthy factor lies in community cohesion, but most projects haven't even figured out this risk control threshold. When the bear market arrives, borrowing rates soar, and chain liquidations begin, those paper-based financings will become dominoes. How long can the community hold up? It depends on how much genuine belief exists during volatility, rather than the chasing of high prices by retail investors.

That's right, fundraising is just the beginning; the real challenge is to retain people's trust. I've seen too many projects fall apart after raising funds; the community is the moat.

Honestly, fundraising is not really a big deal; the real challenge is keeping people's trust.
