Whether a crypto project is good or not, many people look at technology, infrastructure, and the track record of the sector. But honestly, the most direct measure is market recognition—this recognition will ultimately be reflected in the price trend of the coin.

Are users continuously paying attention? Is there active capital participation? Is the project widely used? These are the real truths. If the coin price keeps falling, no matter how good the story sounds, it’s hard to attract new entrants to accumulate or buy.

A few years ago, I looked at a public chain project. The team was indeed working hard, but the direction always deviated from expectations. Several important voting results were not satisfactory, and as a result, the coin price spiraled downward. Even after experiencing a bull market later, the project’s performance did not improve, eventually falling close to zero. The disappointment in holders’ hearts can be imagined; the feeling of loss is really tough.

In contrast, Dusk’s trend has been bottoming out and consolidating for a period, and now it has clearly turned upward. This momentum is crucial—it indicates that market participants, especially big players, have regained confidence in this project. As a Layer1 blockchain project in the privacy sector, Dusk has a differentiated positioning, and from a technical and operational perspective, the team is indeed pushing the project forward. I also believe in this direction and will continue to add to my position when the timing is right.

For promising projects, what’s needed is time and patience to allocate assets—that’s what we often call the “HODL” strategy. Those who trade short-term every day earn only tiny spreads compared to the long-term holders’ gains, and they miss out on the project’s growth dividends. Especially for newcomers to the crypto space, short-term trading is really not recommended, and high-risk gambling should be avoided. High returns inevitably come with high risks, and getting liquidated is a very unpleasant experience.

My advice is simple: whether it’s Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, or projects like Dusk with potential, consider allocating some. Do it within your means, diversify appropriately, and miracles can happen during the holding process. That’s my investment logic.
