Hey everyone, I am luck.

The crypto market has been really suffocating these days. At the beginning of February, there was a collective pullback. BTC dropped sharply from its peak, fluctuating in the 76k-80k range. ETH is even worse, directly breaking below 2200 dollars, and now barely holding around 2100-2200. The 24-hour drop exceeds 5-9%, with over a hundred million dollars in liquidations across the network, and panic sentiment is high. Observing this, macro risks are still present, the pressure from ETF outflows has not completely dissipated, whale actions are cautious, and liquidity is so thin that it shatters with a touch. However, there are some small bright spots in on-chain data: ETH staking has hit a record high, with over 30% of the supply locked in, and institutions are slowly accumulating at low levels; developer activity has also broken records, with daily trading volume on the mainnet hitting highs, indicating that the underlying usage hasn't collapsed, it's just the price being dragged down by market sentiment. Short-term volatility is high, making it easy to continue probing for a bottom, but if macro signals warm up, this low point might just be an accumulation phase.

Vitalik's New Year post is quite interesting. He mentioned that in 2025, ETH will see significant technological advancements (Gas limit increase, Blob addition, zkEVM breakthroughs), but the real test is to realize the mission of being a 'world computer', requiring doubled efforts to improve usability and decentralization, rather than just chasing trends. The Foundation has also prioritized post-quantum security upgrades, with a new team already pushing for PQ signatures and leanVM to defend against future quantum threats; this is a long-term strategy.

In a sluggish market, it's easier to see who is genuinely doing real work. After CZ got out of jail, he focused on Giggle Academy, providing free education to children worldwide. This level of low-key persistence in crypto is quite rare. The #max community has also been quietly accompanying and promoting these warm projects, and @切记落袋为安 is right there, quite stable.
