## Quote — verbatim

> A lot of the projects that purely build on hype will die during this bear cycle... products that can deliver value but also show incredible metrics when it comes to retention and adoption will survive the bear market and thrive when the bull market comes... builders will get more attention than the shillers.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken
