Are you constantly chasing gains and selling off during dips, only to find that you still can't beat the index? The problem might lie in your stock selection logic.



Investors who have stayed clear-headed during this cycle have long understood one principle—stop fixating on the endless hype around application concepts. Tracks like DeFi, GameFi, SocialFi, each take turns stealing the spotlight, with stories constantly evolving. But the real value is built by those seemingly boring but omnipresent infrastructure.

Have you ever thought about how the entire decentralized finance system actually operates? When you collateralize crypto assets to borrow stablecoins, where does the liquidation price come from? Who updates the real-time data for yield farms? Who drives the on-chain pricing of complex derivatives contracts?

The answer is simple: Oracle.

It functions as the perception system of the blockchain—a collective of eyes and ears. It transmits real-world data (price fluctuations, real-time events, market indicators) to the chain in an encrypted, verifiable manner. Without this link, all DeFi protocols immediately become paralyzed—unable to obtain accurate price information, they cannot execute any financial operations. This is not just a functional module but the foundational support of the entire ecosystem.

For this reason, projects that master the Oracle track are often severely undervalued in the long term. Every DeFi transaction, every liquidation, every yield calculation—behind it is the infrastructure working silently. Compared to fleeting application-layer concepts, this is the truly worth deep involvement.

That's right, I already sold off those concept coins long ago, now I'm fully invested in infrastructure.

Oracles have truly grasped the entire ecosystem, no wonder most people are still stuck with failed GameFi projects.

Haha, really, I kept chasing hot topics and ended up losing everything at the peak. It might be better to just stick to a few oracle projects and hold steady.

Wake up, wake up, oracles are the real gold mine. I really feel pain watching those who are selling off.

Oracles are indeed important, but the ones truly making money are still those who survive on hype...

To be honest, I'm already fed up with those trend chasers who talk about GameFi, SocialFi every day, and each cycle turns out to be the same. It's still things like oracles that are reliable—no one can see them, but without them, it's impossible. Truly the infrastructure.

The oracle sector has indeed been seriously underestimated. Honestly, I used to chase hot applications as well, and only now do I realize it.

Oracles have indeed been overlooked, but may I ask how many people truly have the patience to hold onto infrastructure projects...

The importance of oracles has indeed been underestimated. Chasing hot concepts every day is not as good as focusing on infrastructure and winning passively.

Oracles are indeed underestimated, but the problem is that most retail investors are simply not capable of judging who truly is a foundational infrastructure project... Easy to say.
