The bear market is here, trading frequency has slowed down, and finally there's an opportunity to step back from high-frequency operations and reflect on some deeper issues—industry prospects, investment logic, and self-awareness.

There are several clear main themes worth tracking in the current market. Among them, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the AI narrative. Why? Complete logical closure, predictable development paths, national-level strategic support, and continuous capital inflows. These factors combined make AI not just a technological topic but also the most exciting story in the market. In the crypto ecosystem, the integration of AI + blockchain is becoming a new investment focus—spanning from infrastructure to application layers, from data processing to smart contract optimization, opportunities are sprouting everywhere.

But that's far from all. When the market enters a correction phase, it's a good time to examine other overlooked sectors. Some trends may not shine as brightly as AI, but their underlying logic is equally solid. This is precisely where true investors should spend time exploring.

Bear markets are actually a good time to pick up bargains; those projects masked by the AI halo are the real gold and silver. The AI+ blockchain narrative has become tiresome; the key is who can truly implement it. Taking the time to think deeply is indeed important, but don't overthink it—when the market turns, you'll have to chase again. Overlooked tracks? That's exactly what I look for every day, but unfortunately most are just tricks to cut leeks. Don't put too much emphasis on logical closed loops; the market is irrational anyway, who cares whether you have a closed loop or not. This sounds good, but in reality, there's not much to operate on anymore. Be cautious about government support; policy risk is the biggest black swan. The underlying logic is solid as hell; capital doesn't care about that, as long as it can hype it up. Real investors are now studying on-chain data; don't just focus on narratives.

Bear markets are actually a mirror to see who is truly thinking and who is just guessing blindly. AI storytelling is indeed appealing, but I prefer to explore those overlooked corners; maybe you'll find some treasures. Only by slowing down can you see things clearly. High-frequency trading is just a game of instant gratification. The overlooked tracks are where the real gold and silver are. With AI's popularity so high, you should be more cautious. Instead of following the trend and telling stories, it's better to look for projects with solid logic but low popularity.

Bear markets are great, finally I can take a breather, otherwise I’d be watching the market every day and messing around blindly. AI is indeed attractive, but who doesn’t know that? I truly admire those who still dare to go all-in on AI now. Underestimating the track is the real way to make money; what others are greedy for is often a trap. Those who can survive this round of bear market will be the winners in the next. AI has been talked about to death, but I’m more optimistic about those projects that quietly make big money. The bear market is actually a time to cultivate internal strength, study more deeply than others. Unfortunately, most people lose patience during a bear market and miss out on truly good opportunities.

Bear markets are actually the best time to pick up bargains. I've already jumped on the AI bandwagon. Now, it's more interesting to start digging into those small niches that the market has forgotten.
