I gradually realize that I have changed. When I used to browse the community, I would always focus on those high-profile projects, hoping to buy at the bottom and double my investment. Now I find it more interesting to pay attention to those quietly working behind the scenes—like DUSK, which I recently rediscovered—this shift in mindset is where it all started.

Honestly, at first glance, DUSK didn't seem very attractive. Its price was stable, discussions were sparse, and it was easy to overlook it in the flow of information. But when I let go of the single metric of "did it rise today," I started to see something else in it.

Privacy finance is inherently a tough nut to crack. Ordinary users have difficulty understanding the concept of "privacy," and combined with the complexity of financial scenarios, early-stage projects generally don't get much positive feedback. This results in a phenomenon: many teams can't sustain until the market truly explodes.

But DUSK is different. I've been observing it; it hasn't changed direction frequently just because the market isn't hot, nor has it artificially shifted narratives to ride the trend. Even during the lowest emotional phases, I haven't seen it falter. This state of "low visibility but never stopping work" actually tests a project's true execution capability.

Regarding the price, I've now let go of those short-term speculations. The price fluctuations you see only reflect market attention and can't really indicate how far along the project is today. For projects with slow progress like this, relying solely on candlestick charts can be misleading.

So my current attitude towards DUSK is: I don't expect it to skyrocket tomorrow, nor am I worried if it occasionally goes quiet. Just watching it move forward step by step is enough.

I appreciate the change in mindset, but to be honest, DUSK is hard to understand. Quietly doing things without hype just means there's no hype; we should also ask why no one is willing to pay. Stop fantasizing, candlestick charts don't lie, and ultimately, execution depends on the coin price. The topic of privacy finance has always been cold; we don't know when it will explode, maybe not even in the next decade. It looks quite clear-headed, but is it just self-soothing because no money was made? I do want to believe in DUSK's execution ability, but I'm afraid that after ten years of effort, it might still be a lonely price. I've heard too many stories of this "deep waters flowing quietly," only to find it's all just waiting.

Really, I've seen through this whole set. Those that hit daily limit-ups are actually just tricks to trap retail investors. Projects that work quietly are the real deal; DUSK is a typical example. Not hyping, just genuinely building. To be honest, privacy finance is too niche, ordinary people simply can't understand it, so there's definitely no hype in the early stages. The key is whether the team has real execution power, not just storytelling to ride the trend. Letting go of the obsession with K-line charts can really help you live more freely; otherwise, your mood will explode every day. Projects like DUSK that can stay calm are actually more worth supporting. I agree with this view; ultimately, the market still depends on fundamentals. Those who seek quick profits won't live to see the explosion; DUSK is at least working seriously. Short-term fluctuations are just noise; too many people get caught because they are too greedy.

To be honest, I have to give a but—observing execution is indeed important, but for retail investors, it's still too easy to become complacent. When a project works quietly without changing direction, sometimes it might just be because no one is paying attention or there's no hype. How do we distinguish between these two? A calm price movement is just the market voting result. Don't say K-line charts can deceive, even the team can deceive. I've heard too many stories like this about private finance. When the market truly explodes? Bro, black swans don't wait. But to be fair, this mindset is indeed a bit smarter than chasing highs and selling lows like naive investors. The real issue is: who bears the time cost? That's the problem.

You're absolutely right. Only now do I understand what true execution capability means. This dream of doubling through bottom-fishing should have been awakened long ago. Dusk's attitude of not following the trend actually makes people feel at ease. Indeed, those who focus on candlestick charts are just fooling themselves. The privacy track has always been cold; it's not easy for anyone to hold on until now. Looking at projects from a different perspective, you can really see many things. Price fluctuations are so frequent that after a while, you become numb. Compared to daily announcements to ride the hot topics, I trust this kind of steady work more. To be honest, I now pay more attention to whether the team is willing to take risks; dusk is quite stable in this regard.
