I often perform a simple but practical stress test on projects: assuming all mainstream platforms fail, Telegram is also down, what tools do I still have left to use encrypted assets in daily life?

Using this standard, if a project's card and app become my backup options, it indicates that it’s worth in-depth research. This isn’t a complex evaluation system, but it’s quite effective—it can filter out projects that only exist within the ecosystem and tools with real practical value.

This logic actually reflects a core issue in crypto applications: when infrastructure problems occur, what else can users rely on? Projects that can withstand this test usually have some real skills.

Awesome, this stress test perspective is brilliant. It immediately reveals who is bluffing. Wow, this idea is really excellent. Most projects probably show their true colors the moment they lose internet connection. Honestly, only projects that can survive offline are worth engaging with. This is the real filter—simple, straightforward, and effective. Sounds like you're saying most projects are just bubbles? Deep indeed. Many projects can't withstand such a test.

This stress test idea is pretty good, but to be honest, most projects can't even get through the first hurdle. Only the chosen ones can find something that can truly be used offline, I believe you. The thing about cards sounds easy, but actually doing it is damn hard. That's right, the current ecosystem is just a bunch of bubbles, truly useful ones are rare. In-depth research? I'm now doubting if there are any truly usable ones left, haha. Projects that can withstand the test are indeed scarce. This idea is interesting, I need to copy it. By the way, are there really projects like this? I haven't seen any.

This stress test approach is truly brilliant, much more reliable than those projects that only boast about their ecosystem. When there was no Telegram and no exchange, the project was still useful, which is what really matters. Most projects can't withstand this test at all; they're just paper tigers. Cards and apps that can be used directly—that's what true infrastructure is. Honestly, there are very few projects that can run offline. I've been filtering projects with this logic all along; it seems my approach is correct. As long as a project can't survive this test, I will discard it.

I respect the logic behind this stress test; it really shows who is doing real work and who is just hyping. To be honest, most projects are just self-entertainment within the ecosystem, and very few are truly usable. Reliable projects can indeed stand the test, this is beyond doubt. I've seen too many projects that boast a complete ecosystem but have poor user experience. A card is truly valuable only if it can be used; otherwise, it's just air. I'm just worried that everything will collapse by then, and we won't be able to use anything, which would be frustrating.

Oh my, I should have thought of this long ago. No wonder I got scammed so many times by those air projects.
