It's been a while since global sentiment towards crypto has been that bad.
I said this many times, we're not in 2021/22 end of cycle because this time no SBF/Celsius/Luna. We're in 2018, a slowand lingering despair of "we're not cool anymore" mostly solely due to price not going up.
Back then, when the tourists left, the builders delivered MakerDAO, Compound, SNX, EthLend (Aave) and more with mostly apathetic reception.
It's an exciting time to focus and deliver even if the market will be ungrateful for a while.
