Seeing that someone is shouting that ASTER and FIL will drop to zero and fall to 0.1? This kind of rhetoric is really meaningless. Those who only focus on the Candlestick fluctuation to draw conclusions are either truly not thinking clearly, or they have ulterior motives.

The problem is that they do not understand what long-term value is at all. Short-term price fluctuations do not equate to the life and death of the project itself.

Just look at history and you'll understand. BTC has experienced a maximum drawdown of 93%, and BNB once fell to 0.09. Did this prevent them from becoming mainstream in the market? No. Things that are truly valuable never fear the pains of the process.

So what are AST and FIL actually doing?

The core of ASTER is a decentralized trading protocol. Will such infrastructure be needed in the future form of finance? Ask yourself this question. FIL is working on a decentralized storage network. AI training, computing power ecology, metaverse infrastructure— which one does not require massive storage support? Even top industry technology planners are focusing on the storage track; do you say this field has no prospects?

What about dropping to 0.1? That's just the price, not the end of the story. What really deserves consideration is: what is the reason for this coin's fall? Has the ecosystem completely collapsed, or is it just short-term market sentiment fluctuation combined with early investors' unlocking pressure? The implications of the two are completely different.

I have seen too many people struggle in the crypto market, only to understand one truth in the end: if you don't have the mental preparation to hold a cryptocurrency for 5 to 7 years, don't talk about investment. Look at the growth cycle of BTC and ETH, the comeback path of DOGE, and the 400-day increase of SHIB—these all tell the same story.

The market has always punished those with a short-sighted vision. Investors who can withstand corrections and persist after seeing the essence of the project are the ones who truly reap the rewards.

Ask yourself a question: Can you hold onto a promising coin and endure one, two, or even three deep corrections without wavering? If the answer is yes, then you understand what true faith means; if no, then the market's fluctuations will always throw you out.

The future of ASTER and FIL doesn't need much explanation from me. Look at the applications, look at the ecosystem, and see if there is actual technical demand—these are the criteria for judgment.
