A general partner at Paradigm just dropped an interesting take on market cycles. According to them, there's a pattern worth noting: whenever people start publishing lengthy pieces declaring crypto as nothing but a scam, that's actually when the real builders should get to work.

The timing is rarely coincidental. These waves of skepticism often mark bottoms rather than tops. While critics write manifestos, serious teams quietly ship products. History seems to back this up—some of the most significant projects in this space were born during peak FUD seasons.

It's a contrarian view, sure. But there's logic behind it. When hype dies down and tourists leave, infrastructure gets built. The noise fades, and actual innovation has room to breathe.

Not gonna lie, what this Paradigm guy says makes some sense. The times when FUD is at its worst are indeed the best times to buy the dip.

The more criticism we face, the more we build—this is our destiny.

hypothesis: the inverse correlation between fud density and actual innovation output might just be the most underrated oracle we have rn... like, genuinely think the manifesto writers are accidentally running a reverse indicator service lmao

ngl this logic does make some sense, but I still think most people can't really tell who's actually building and who's just bragging.
