Almost every project that survives in the end has to go through a round of skepticism in the early stages.

Whether it's public chains, tokens, or even publicly listed companies—no one can do it all at once. Those that truly succeed are invariably built over time. Success, to put it plainly, is about endurance.

Take Nvidia, for example. It took decades from its founding to becoming a chip giant. Early ecosystem development investments showed no immediate returns and were even mocked by the market as "what is this?" It’s this kind of repeated effort that separates those who genuinely want to build from those who are just following the trend.

Those who continue quietly building during bear markets are often the ones who ultimately succeed. The seemingly mundane accumulation will eventually turn into a competitive advantage. That’s also why the ecosystem appears so "quiet" in its early days—not because no one believes in it, but because true builders and believers are making long-term plans.
