Every cycle goes through a similar phase—more and more hotspots emerge, but genuine consensus actually shrinks. When the market enters a correction phase, the focus of discussion naturally shifts from "telling stories" to "whether sustainable value can be generated."
Where is BTC currently positioned? This question is more critical than you think. From this perspective, projects like OMEGA on the eve of 2026 will have clear answers on how to adjust their pace.
This is not an emotional venting, but more like a collective review of understanding. How should we view this round of the market? How should we choose? Let's clarify this together.

The era of storytelling is over; now we need to see what real value gold and silver can generate. This is the beginning of differentiation.
How BTC moves and how OMEGA survives—it's that simple.
Another round of cognitive review? I just want to know who can really make it to 2026.
Multiple hot topics are meaningless; without consensus, it's just retail investors taking turns to cut each other.
The truly effective consensus is shrinking... Well said, garbage projects deserve to die.

Sounds about right. When there are too many hot topics, no one is truly listening; everyone is just hyping each other, and in the end, no one trusts anyone.
The position of BTC really needs to be carefully assessed; otherwise, those following the trend later will suffer losses.
As for projects like OMEGA, honestly, it's better to wait for a pullback before considering them. At times like these, those who tell stories don't last long.

Honestly, those projects that keep telling stories should now calm down. Making money is the hard truth.
2026 is not far away. Coins without practical use should have already been eliminated. BTC's position determines everything.
No matter how good the story is, it can't put food on the table... This wave of correction will reveal who truly has substance.
The shrinking of consensus is the death knell for worthless projects; the screening time has arrived.
OMEGA also needs to prove itself; it can't just talk pretty words.
This cycle is indeed brutal; things without value will ultimately become trash.

No matter how good the story is, without the ability to generate sustained value, everything is pointless. Projects still relying on narratives these days need to wake up.
---
BTC position is key, right? Is this OMEGA really something substantial or just another pie-in-the-sky? It depends on whether it can be delivered later.
---
Every adjustment reveals who is truly working and who is just bluffing. Now is the time to test that.
---
Hot topics are everywhere, but not much can be truly consolidated. This is the most authentic market state.
---
Instead of fussing over what story to tell, it's better to see who is really creating value. 2026 is still early; current choices are very important.
---
I like the concept of cognitive review; it's much more honest than those calling signals.
---
Wait, what exactly should OMEGA do? Just be straightforward. The market now wants clear communication.
---
The cruelest phase in the cycle is this stage—some people run, some cut losses, and some are still making up stories.

Really, now it's a matter of who can still tell stories and who is truly creating value—the dividing line.
OMEGA is panicking this wave; no matter how good the story is, the fundamentals must catch up.
It's really just two words—endure. Let's see who can hold on through this wave.
BTC position determines everything, and that's true, but most people are still fooling themselves.
Shrinking consensus isn't scary; what's scary is that you haven't figured out how to choose.
It's 2026, and you're still talking about dreams? You should have been paying attention to cash flow long ago.
But on the other hand, the real opportunity often hides when everyone else is overlooking it.

From the growth curve of the computing power network, now is indeed a good time to buy the dip. True consensus is often only visible during bear markets.
What’s really interesting is that most people are still chasing hot topics, while smart miners have already been adjusting their difficulty cycles.
BTC position determines the rhythm, and that’s no mistake. But rather than telling stories, I’m more concerned about whether the computing power return ratio can hold up.
On the other hand, projects that can continuously generate value are indeed rare. It feels like a big wave sifting out the sand.
The logic of this market cycle is actually very simple: it’s just about whose technological iteration can keep up with difficulty adjustments.

Multiple hammer signals in the hot spots, but only projects that can truly make money are the real deal.
No matter how good the story is, if there's no cash flow, it's dead.
The position of BTC really needs to be figured out thoroughly, otherwise playing with projects like OMEGA is all in vain.
To put it simply, it still comes down to the value itself; don't be fooled by narratives.
Consensus shrinking? That's just a good opportunity to weed out true believers; the chives will always be harvested when the time comes.
Listening to the pre-2026 rumors is fine, but the key is who can survive until that day.
This wave of adjustment is just a redistribution of chips; smart people are accumulating, while fools are still chasing the rise.

Truth be told, no matter how good the story is, it won't sell unless it can truly generate revenue.
Wait, are projects like OMEGA still adjusting their pace? It feels like it's already too late.
This round of adjustments is basically a knockout stage; it's no surprise that some projects that rely on hype end up crashing.
Is the position of BTC really that important? It mainly depends on how you choose.
Honestly, the word "value" is becoming more and more valuable now. The previous approach simply doesn't work anymore.

No matter how good the story is, it can't withstand market backlash; it still depends on whether there's real gold and silver behind it.
Wait, shouldn't this round of adjustment clear out projects that rely solely on hype?
OMEGA? I think projects like this now either need innovation or they’re out; there's no middle ground.
The shrinking of consensus is quite real; previously, there were screens full of new concepts and stories, now everyone is asking if it can make money haha.
But, the ones that truly remain are those capable of continuously generating value; everything else is just a matter of time.
BTC's position is indeed a signal light; the author is right about that.
It feels like the market is now re-evaluating who has real strength and who is just a paper tiger.
