Virtuals' Long-Term Bull Market Logic (Borrowed Post)
In recent months, many people have asked me, "Is there a second wave of AI? Or has that story already been told?"
But last week, the X402 protocol on Base ignited excitement, and the crypto world's attention once again turned to AI-powered products. The market suddenly remembered us, having never left the table, quietly forging ahead.
Over the past year, we've witnessed the complete cycle of Virtuals, from its initial ecosystem explosion to repeated optimism, skepticism, and renewed growth. During this period, we've experienced both setbacks and upgrades, experiencing both bull and bear markets, shifting topics, and shifting user attention. This is the test of our resilience against time.
Many people talk about a "long-term bull market" simply as a hope for daily gains.
A true long-term bull market is what CZ describes: not a linear rise, but a sustained upward trend, interspersed with countless pullbacks, market reshuffles, and tests of execution.
The question is: Who is pioneering when no one is watching? Who is defying time rather than surrendering to market sentiment?
When the next wave of AI arrives isn't important; what matters is:
Who's still at the table when the second wave arrives?
A long bull market isn't driven by market conditions; it's earned through trial and error until something is right.
A second wave isn't something you can wait for; it's generated through iteration at the bottom.
Virtuals will continue on this path of exchanging time for momentum.
When the AI narrative explodes again, we won't "return," but rather navigate through repeated ebbs and flows.
—This is our approach to a long bull market.
Bow!
