A viewpoint suddenly collapsed in the middle of the week, indicating that it was fundamentally invalid. I am also paying attention to market catalysts, but my focus is entirely different—I value protocols that can continuously generate real revenue and cash flow.

Many people are hijacked by headlines. One news item, one hot topic, and they bet everything on it. But such a strategy is incredibly fragile. Those that can truly go far are projects with clear business models and stable income. No matter how the market fluctuates, protocols with strong fundamentals can survive and even grow against the trend.

Short-term news is noise; long-term cash flow is the signal. When choosing a protocol, look at how it makes money, how long it can earn, and how much it can earn—this is much more important than chasing the hot trend.

Well said, but too many people are being led astray. They see a hot topic and go all-in, only to lose everything in a week. The logic of making money is the hard truth; everything else is nonsense. Projects with solid fundamentals can indeed withstand a bear market, I have deep experience with this. A bunch of people trade cryptocurrencies based on news, but I only look at cash flow. The track is that simple.

That's right, but very few people can actually do it; most are still being driven by emotions to buy recklessly. --- Cash flow is king; everything else is just a story. --- There are many bearish opinions during the week, but the problem is that some people still insist, truly admirable. --- People who watch the news every day suffer the most; this is a rule. --- Projects with strong fundamentals can indeed survive, but they are just too hard to find. --- Clear business models? Most projects can't even clearly explain how they make money... --- The difference between noise and signals is only understood by those who have experienced several bear markets. --- Returns and cash flow, compared to news, are just toys. --- The idea of focusing on earning ability is correct, but honestly, anyone can easily get lazy when it comes to execution. --- Not following the trend or chasing hot topics sounds comfortable, but actually doing it is really difficult.

That's correct, but I found that most people simply can't understand the cash flow structure of the protocol. Those who chase hot topics, what happened to them later? They're just bagholders. Real returns require effort to study; most people are too lazy to look. A strong fundamental is the key, everything else is gambling. There are many opinions that collapse during the week; this is the moment to filter for intelligence.

You're absolutely right, chasing hot topics always results in losses. Several friends around me got completely wiped out. Cash flow is the hard currency; everything else is虚的. Protocols with solid fundamentals can indeed survive the bear market, which is the right way. Still, you should look for projects that can持续造血, and avoid following the trend. Headline news really does harm people; many are stuck at high positions. Protocols with clear business models are what I dare to hold long-term. There are more and more bearish views during the week, indicating that most people haven't thought it through. Stick to watching cash flow, ignore short-term noise—that's the right path.

That's right, chasing news is as futile as chasing windfalls. I'm now directly looking at the protocol's cash flow performance. Wait, are there really protocols that can stably generate cash flow? Or have I been choosing the wrong ones all along? Projects with strong fundamentals do tend to last longer, but how to judge... I think that's the real challenge. Headlines are really toxic, always want to go all-in, and end up losing everything. Now I've learned to be smarter, and looking at data is more reliable. They hype new catalysts every day, but I just ignore them now and focus on the protocol's revenue growth. It's easy to say, but few people can really find projects that generate stable profits.

Laughing and then crying, another circle of friends cut by news again Those chasing hot topics are in ICU, those with cash flow are buying houses That's true, but 99% of people forget after reading, and tomorrow they continue to go all-in on the next concept coin Cash flow really shows off, but there are only a few projects in hand that can be showcased I agree with this, but you have to admit, chasing news is truly joyful, and losing money is also real A strong fundamental sounds great, but the yield is so high that you can't see it Short-term noise, long-term signals, the problem is who will still be around in the long run Your theory is very correct, but the problem is that less than 0.5% of people actually execute it Stable cash flow is the key, it all depends on who can endure this wave of cleansing Another completely correct piece of nonsense, but those who can truly follow this and establish a faction Ultimately, it still depends on whose account has data to speak

This is true clarity. Too many people follow the trend and get cut badly. Sticking to fundamentals can indeed help you survive longer, but it really tests your mentality. Getting excited over every news update is something you should really reflect on. This theory sounds good, but who can actually implement it in practice? Protocols with cash flow are indeed attractive, but the question is, can you find them?

Chasing hot topics always gets you cut, I've long given up on that. That's right, cash flow is king; everything else is虚的. Those who panic after a one-week crash are basically rookie investors. People who keep an eye on news all day must have very tiring minds; I only look at real revenue data. This theory is correct, but few can stick to it; most still get itchy and chase the wind. Projects with strong fundamentals can really survive; others will cool off sooner or later. Every time there's a hot topic, someone goes all in, then starts complaining two weeks later—a cycle. Investing without considering the收益模型? Isn't that gambling? Too much short-term noise; I'd rather miss out than get trapped. It's a thorough explanation, but unfortunately most people still can't break the habit of chasing hot topics.

That's right, I've had enough of chasing the trend. Cash flow is king; everything else is just an illusion.

You're right, fundamentals are the key. Unfortunately, most people are still chasing hot topics. Those chasing the trend are all dead, yet they remain unaware. Cash flow is the hard currency; everything else is just a story. The many opinions crashing during the week, why get fooled by it a second time? A clear income model = a lifeline, simple and straightforward. I haven't seen many who make money from news. Basically, it's about finding protocols that are truly profitable; don't be blinded by narratives. The dream of getting rich quickly should wake you up; stable cash flow is what really matters. Projects with poor fundamentals are doomed no matter how much they are hyped; they'll collapse sooner or later. Too many people are kidnapped by headline-driven thinking; it's time for reflection. Cash flow > hot topics > stories, always holds true. You can tell who has the ability to make money; bragging won't get you anywhere. Everyone wants to chase hot trends, but in the end, they all fall into the trap. How long a protocol can make money is the real key; a sudden burst of popularity is useless. Projects with solid fundamentals have already been quietly making profits.
