Recently, when discussing the development of the crypto community, an interesting phenomenon has emerged—truly long-term projects often don't rely on a few words from top KOLs to take off. Taking Satoshi Nakamoto's ideals as an example, the core has never been about a big influencer's recommendation, but rather the recognition from the participants themselves.

Everyone in the community, in a sense, is a propagator. Instead of waiting for influential figures to make calls, it's better to focus on genuine consensus building. Short-term posting and hype can come quickly, but the real participation and conviction of retail investors are what sustain long-term success.

This is why some projects can go far—they're not driven by public opinion manipulation, but by the continuous efforts of every participant. 24-hour community discussions, sharing viewpoints, spreading knowledge—these seemingly simple activities, in fact, build the most resilient foundation of consensus.

That's right, don't wait for influencers. The projects that truly survive don't rely on hype. I'm already tired of the shouting tricks; fundamental consensus is the real gold and silver. Consensus is slow but powerful, more durable than any marketing. No matter how loudly KOLs shout, if no one believes, it doesn't matter. You still need your own people to guard it. That's why I'm still here. It's not about listening to someone, but building together. Every day I see projects dying from public opinion, but those thriving on consensus do follow certain patterns.

That's right, but I still see a bunch of projects desperately riding the KOL hype... People who truly understand don't need influencers to promote; they can judge for themselves. Consensus is indeed much more reliable than hype. Most people still just want quick money, regardless of long-term development. No matter how much community discussion there is, it can't beat a simple "not optimistic" comment. Anyway, builders can't make quick money, and most retail investors lack patience. It sounds good to hear, but in reality, there are very few who actually do it.

That's right, don't always focus on what the influencers say; it still depends on the community to support itself. Truly good projects don't need to be hyped every day; users will speak for themselves. Consensus takes time to build steadily; quick hype will eventually cool off. Nowadays, believing that a project can be launched with just a single statement is truly naive. Construction > shouting orders; this is the attitude of long-term players. Don't wait for a savior; everyone has to be a builder. Satoshi Nakamoto didn't rely on marketing back then; it was purely about ideas and conviction. Sometimes, community fragment discussions are more valuable than influencer articles. Real resilience comes from underlying beliefs, not hype.

Exactly, but too many people are still waiting for big V to pump the market Really, fundamental consensus is the true moat Damn, I feel like there are still a bunch of people dreaming right now This point really hits me Retail investors' power is seriously underestimated But on the other hand, consensus is hard to achieve Wait, are you implying others are just following the trend? That's reasonable, but execution is too difficult Sounds nice, but the market still looks at the short term

I fully agree, but honestly, most people are still waiting for the big influencers haha That's right, bottom-up consensus is indeed more resilient than KOL-driven hype I agree, I just wonder how many people actually have the patience to do it in practice That's a valid point, but the current situation in the crypto world is that short-term speculation makes quick money, who really wants to accumulate slowly Agreed, consensus may not be fast enough but it’s solid enough, that’s the true moat Hmm... sounds right, but it mainly depends on whether the project itself has substance The power of simplicity is indeed underestimated, long-termism is still a minority

You're absolutely right. Instead of waiting for influencers to speak out, it's better to build and share more yourself. That's true long-termism. Many newcomers are still looking for the next "signal caller," unaware that Satoshi Nakamoto never needed any KOL endorsement. Consensus relies on the daily participation of ordinary people, not a single tweet from a marketing account. This analysis hits the mark. Some project teams haven't figured it out yet and are still desperately spending on KOL budgets... Honestly, projects that truly survive are not created by public opinion; they are built up steadily by the community. Seeing some projects fussing over PR every day makes me laugh. Meanwhile, those quietly working in the community are gradually drifting away.
