When the market dips slightly, you'd think the community would rally around key projects—but here's what we're seeing instead. Zcash's founder put out a legitimate funding request, yet many supposed supporters went silent. It's telling. Markets drop, conviction wavers, and suddenly everyone's nowhere to be found. Those holding bags talk a big game when prices are up, but when push comes to shove and actual backing is needed? Radio silence. Whether it's capital constraints or fair-weather commitment, the gap between words and action in this space is pretty stark. Zcash isn't some random shitcoin—it's got real tech and history. Yet that alone doesn't guarantee community support when it matters.

The bear market has made it clear who truly believes and who fakes it. Zcash, when all is said and done, is just a mirror that reveals the true nature.
---
Honestly, these moments are the best to see human nature. When prices rise, everyone is a believer; when it’s time to spend money? They all disappear.
---
Cycles are like this; belief is more fragile than liquidity in the secondary market.
---
Wait, so is the real issue that there’s no money or that people just don’t care? Can these two be discussed separately?
---
Interesting, the bottom logic is tested exactly like this. See who still stays here.
---
True believers have long rushed in; the rest... probably need to accept that they are just speculators.
---
Zcash has technology and history, but unfortunately, these are worthless in a bear market. Market sentiment is the only king.
---
I’m actually curious, among the projects that survive this round, is it better technology or capable founders?
---
Silence itself is the answer, there’s nothing more to say.

That hits too close to home; as soon as the price drops, the true colors are revealed...

Laughing out loud, as soon as the price drops, they fall behind. This is the true face of the Web3 community.

ngl, this is the true reflection of the crypto world... support in words, but the wallet is very honest
---
Regarding Zcash, as soon as something happens, it goes offline immediately. That's just how these people are
---
Why do the foundations dare to speak out, while the community still pretends to be dead? I'm truly convinced
---
When the market is good, everyone is a believer; when it drops, they immediately become strangers. Laugh out loud
---
Having real tech and history, so what? Without money, it's still going to cool off
---
This is why I don't really believe in community consensus... it's all just a facade
---
Even in a Bitcoin bear market, there are die-hard fans. What about Zcash? Not a word
---
Privacy coins are inherently niche; now it's even clearer who truly supports and who is just riding the hype
---
Talk is cheap, the wallet is speaking
---
I've seen through it long ago, in the crypto world, there are only interests, no faith

This is the true portrayal of Web3: faith on the lips, lies in the wallet.
