After listening to CZ's live stream twice, I am more certain: what Binance Square really needs to improve is not the functions, but the 'underlying experience'.
I started treating Binance Square as a long-term base around July last year. It's not just about posting a few messages to test the waters, but rather following the version updates, creator task adjustments, and changes in traffic mechanisms for nearly 7 months. During this period, I have indeed seen a very positive change: 👉 Popularity has risen 👉 More and more newcomers 👉 Many friends here have really found their creative direction So this article is not about pessimism, but rather a true feedback from a long-term user + creator. Coincidentally, I listened to both of CZ's live streams/AMA in the square in full, and after watching, I was even more eager to express some 'overlooked issues'.
$DUSK dropped to 0.1023, and I noticed an interesting phenomenon: those who criticized left, and those who held on in silence. Now, those still watching #Dusk are basically just two types of people: One thinks, "It's already like this, no need to cut losses"; The other silently asks in their heart: Is @Dusk this path really worth running alongside? The price won't bounce back, and the market won't provide comfort; this isn't a technical issue, it's a matter of stance. Are you waiting for the market to recognize you, or are you admitting that you might have waited incorrectly?
When everyone is staring at the screen waiting for the next line, I actually want to turn off the chart and have a serious discussion about the project itself.
When everyone is staring at the screen waiting for the next line, I actually want to turn off the chart and have a serious discussion about the project itself. The larger the market noise, the less suitable it is to understand a project through price. This is because price addresses the 'emotional issue,' while the project addresses the question of 'is it useful, can it be used long-term.' Plasma is precisely the type that is easier to see clearly when viewed outside of market conditions. There is an old coin on the table.
1. What Plasma is truly doing is an 'counterintuitive' thing. While most Web3 projects compete in narrative, speed, and trends, Plasma has chosen a very unpopular route:
If you are still viewing Vanar through the old framework of 'public chain competition,' you will most likely not understand what it is doing.
If you are still viewing Vanar through the old framework of 'public chain competition,' you will most likely not understand what it is doing. To be honest, when I seriously looked at Vanar for the first time, I didn't have the intuition that 'this project is going to take off.' It's not noisy, it's not fast, and it's not in a hurry to prove itself. Later I realized that the problem was not with the project, but with my wrong perspective. Vanar is not participating in the competition of 'who has the higher TPS and who has the larger ecosystem'; it simply bypassed that track. By the way, when I wrote this part, I suddenly noticed my desk was a bit messy.
VANRY to 0.006564, this position is no longer "oscillation", but rather a repricing
The price reaching 0.006564 has actually provided the conclusion of the previous consolidation. It is not a slow digestion, but rather a direct push down by the market. This decline resembles a natural drop after a "failure of consensus", rather than an emotional sell-off—it's not fast-paced, but the direction is quite decisive.
What I'm more concerned about is: having dropped to this point, there has not been any obvious buying behavior. This indicates that the market is temporarily not in a hurry to provide a new valuation, but is waiting for the next round of information or structural changes. By the way, looking at this kind of market for a long time even makes drinking water feel slower.
My attitude is somewhat conservative: before new support appears, this seems more like a continuation in the downtrend rather than a confirmation of the bottom.
Don't rush to prove that you bought right; let the price finish speaking first.
Today, it seems that this market will continue to plunge. To be honest, this is no longer an 'accident,' but rather a result that has been repeatedly predicted.
The market sentiment has not repaired, the rebound has not continued, and risk assets will naturally continue to be under pressure. In this environment, expecting any project to perform strongly on its own is itself a misaligned expectation. The decline is not because someone suddenly turned worse, but because the market is uniformly contracting risk exposure. I forgot to add sugar to my coffee this morning.
But what truly needs vigilance is not 'will it drop again,' but whether you are still responding to the rhythm of a bear market with the logic of a bull market. The more it is like this, the clearer it must be to distinguish what is systemic volatility and what are the fatal problems at the project level.
A market crash is not scary; what is scary is that you still haven't adjusted your judgment method in the crash. @Plasma #plasma $XPL
When the market no longer cares about ups and downs, the truly important things begin to emerge
If we deliberately avoid discussing the price and close the market window, it actually becomes easier to see where Dusk currently stands. Because when the price no longer provides emotional feedback, what remains is only the project's path, rhythm, and the problems it attempts to solve. Dusk has never been a project that takes the easy way out. It did not choose the direction that would attract the most attention but instead cut straight into the most difficult and realistic proposition: how to build **financial infrastructure on-chain that is regulatory, auditable, yet still retains privacy attributes**. This choice destined it not to run fast, but once it gets going, it becomes difficult to replicate simply.
When a project no longer proves itself through market performance, the real screening has only just begun.
Many people tend to judge the quality of a project in the simplest way: if it rises, it’s right; if it falls, it’s wrong. However, if we completely remove the price variable and only look at a project’s true state during the 'headwind phase,' we often see a harsher and more realistic side.
WAL has recently experienced not just an ordinary market fluctuation, but a round of screening for the 'quality of participants.' In this process, emotions, patience, and poor cognition are being amplified simultaneously. The first layer is a test of 'narrative dependence.' When external voices diminish, enthusiasm wanes, and discussions decline, whether a project can still maintain sustained attention is itself a stress test. Many projects go silent rapidly at this stage because they previously relied on dissemination efficiency rather than intrinsic logic. Once no one tells their stories, confidence begins to falter. By the way, I just cleaned up my browser bookmarks.
Tonight's wave of plummeting prices is hard to bear, to say otherwise would be a lie.
$DUSK stepped into the vicinity of 0.11, almost without giving any reaction time. It's not the kind of torment that pulls back and forth, but rather straightforwardly tells you: the emotions have reached their limit. You will notice a detail, at the moment it dropped, the market became quiet, even the people cursing decreased.
The most brutal aspect of this decline is that it doesn’t scare you away; it makes you let go on your own. #Dusk ’s market now offers no comfort or explanation, only prices moving forward. @Dusk continues to do what it does, but the market doesn’t want to listen for now.
Ultimately, this night feels more like a selection process. Those who remain are not necessarily the most optimistic, but rather the ones who can endure the most. $DUSK
If you regard Vanar as an 'AI concept chain', you are likely looking at it from the wrong perspective.
Many projects fail not because the technology is inadequate, but because the wrong assumptions were made. The first impression Vanar gave me was not 'another chain to connect AI', but rather it posed a different question from the start: **Who will really use blockchain frequently in the future?** It’s not retail investors, not DeFi players, and not even entirely developers, but rather AI agents that can execute automatically, make decisions automatically, and require long-term context. Once this premise is established, many design logics will be completely different from the current mainstream. By the way, when I wrote this, I suddenly remembered there’s half a bottle of cola in the fridge.

The market has dipped again, and this time, many people have quietly begun to calculate a number in their hearts: 0.1.
This feeling is very familiar.
It's not a panic sell-off, but rather a sudden needle that pokes everyone’s stop-loss, fantasies, and confidence all at once. When BTC dips, altcoins collectively lose weight, $XPL is no exception. The price fell from a previous high of 0.1276 and is currently hovering around 0.118, and the market has started discussing a possibility that was previously reluctant to voice: Could it drop below 0.1? There’s wind outside. First, break down the emotions and then look at the structure. If you only look at the surface, the answer seems simple: the market is weak, the sentiment is poor, and XPL does not have an independent trend, so the breakdown seems logical. But what truly decides whether it 'breaks or not' is never an integer, but rather **what behavior the market chooses when the price is being tested**.
0.0995, at this moment of breaking a new low, the most dangerous thing in the market is not the price, but the sense of 'certainty'.
First, confirm the facts: WAL's current price is 0.0995, which has broken the previous panic low of 0.1055, confirming a new low, rather than just a regular pullback. Many people instinctively draw a conclusion at this moment: it's over, the trend has turned bad.
However, if we only analyze the price behavior, this drop still seems more like an extension of emotion rather than the birth of a new logic. The break happened quickly, but it was not accompanied by a prolonged low-level turnover, indicating that selling pressure remains 'urgent' rather than 'steady'. A true trend decline often involves a gradual compression, repeatedly giving you opportunities to escape.
The key issue is not whether 0.1 has been defended, but whether: 0.0995 will be repeatedly denied by the market. If the price is merely pierced by emotion but fails to establish a consensus on transactions at the new low, it resembles an emotional overreaction; but if it starts to move sideways below 0.1 subsequently, its nature will truly change.
Many people rush to make 'the smartest decision' as soon as they see a new low. However, in trading, the first reaction after a new low is often the one most prone to mistakes. I just noticed my phone battery is only at 12%.
The price has already instilled fear, and what the market will provide next is the real answer.

This is not about whether to bottom fish, but whether you are willing to admit: the market has already changed its gameplay.
The lowest price in 24 hours is 0.1108, the current price is 0.112, and $DUSK is crawling on the floor. Saying 'the sentiment is bad' is already a bit of an understatement. The more realistic feeling is: the market is quiet, no explanations are made, and only the price is moving forward. You see that @dusk_foundation's rhythm hasn't actually been disrupted, but the #Dusk market has completely entered the stage of 'no one wants to answer'.
Many people are still asking if there will be a rebound, but this question itself is a bit outdated. The core issue now is not whether it will rise, but whether anyone is willing to take risks in this environment of uncertainty. Those who are selling are giving up their patience, those who haven't sold are stubbornly enduring time, and as for buying? Almost no one is in a hurry.
The most brutal part of this market is that it won't give you a clear feedback of 'you did it wrong', it will only slowly make you lose the sense of participation.
If you feel bored, uncomfortable, or even don't want to look at the market now, that might be exactly what the market wants.
I do not recommend newcomers to touch VANRY now, but experienced traders can see the problem at a glance.
Many people only see $VANRY rise from 0.0078 to 0.0069 and rush to conclude that the market has ended. But the real issue is not in the rise and fall, but in the structure. That spike up had no volume to support it, and the pullback was very smooth, indicating that the market does not agree with the high pricing. The current #Vanar seems more like a test of patience rather than an opportunity.
What you think is a decline is actually the market correcting the chase for high prices.
$XPL Today that surge was actually very dangerous, many people will be misled by this spike.
First, let's look at the facts, not the emotions. In the past 24 hours, $XPL peaked at 0.1276, but it did not hold, quickly being pushed back into the range, with the current price having fallen back to 0.1181. This step basically conforms to a typical "false breakout" structure: during the upward breakout, the volume does not sustain, and the close is rapidly pulled back, with trades re-accumulating at the lower edge of the original range. The keyboard is a bit sticky.
Such price movements are the easiest to create illusions. Many people see a breakout and chase it, thinking "finally, we're going to trend," but in reality, the price has not gained new consensus support, instead giving a window for high-level distribution and position reduction. From the outcome, the breakout looks more like an emotional test rather than a directional choice.
Now back at the 0.118 line, the genuinely important question has changed: It's not "why didn't I hold it just now," but rather can we maintain the structure here. If we continue to lose this level, then that earlier surge will be fully defined as a trap for buyers.
The real risk has never been missing the high point, but treating a failed breakout as the start of a trend. @Plasma #plasma $XPL
