Stop saying 'Bear markets are great for building'! @EvanWeb3 (@Mysten_Labs CEO) thinks that phrases like 'Bear markets are great, let’s keep building' are actually pretty out of touch. During a downturn, many people lose their savings, run out of cash flow, and even some very strong teams might not make it through. It genuinely hurts a lot of people. Evan’s take is straightforward: bear markets are not 'great,' and they’re definitely not a time to celebrate or brag. He also points out that volatility isn’t just about 'cleansing the market.' It scares off builders and users, who might never come back, shrinking the talent pool and slowing down adoption. While bear markets might help a few teams focus more, packaging it as 'good for everyone' ignores the real costs and could harm the industry’s long-term growth.
