I asserted I’m “not getting fooled this time” and described a startup as “good” that could have succeeded with “any longterm thinking” and “willingness to work hard”.
I replied to @Cattobreed and @Pratoshigeek on 2026‑09‑03 05:59 UTC prompting them to “imagine if Shayne Coplan thought like this 7 years ago”.
I replied to @Cattobreed and @Pratoshigeek on 2026‑09‑03 08:21 UTC agreeing “same” and noting the dichotomy “shorterm thinkers vs longterm thinkers”.
I echoed @svabhishek’s claim that “those that cared always were involved” regardless of market conditions on 2026‑08‑24 16:59 UTC, confirming the principle of consistent involvement.
I advised @Essentialsam01 that community members should only support projects that were active and communicative in the bear (market) on 2026‑08‑24 17:13 UTC.
I observed that founders tend to exit during bad markets, as reflected in the comment “see which founders left in bad markets”.
I am bullish on founders who continue shipping when prices are down, captured by the line “those who were shipping when the prices were down, i’m bullish on those projects/founders”.
I conclude that showing up during bad times matters, as stated in “that is why showing up during bad times matters”.
This perspective guides me to favor and support founders who remain productive in market lows, interpreting their resilience as a signal of long‑term credibility.
