Key Takeaways
CZ says daily price movements should not distract builders during market downturns
He emphasizes long-term growth and development over short-term token performance
Projects with tokens should focus on regular updates and community communication
Amid ongoing weakness in the crypto market, Changpeng Zhao has urged industry participants to shift their focus away from short-term price fluctuations and toward long-term building and progress.
Speaking during a recent AMA, CZ said that daily market movements are largely irrelevant for builders, stressing that the crypto market has historically moved forward over time despite periods of volatility.
“You should ignore the daily market,” CZ said, adding that from a builder’s perspective, he does not worry about short-term token prices.
Focus on Building, Not Price Volatility
CZ explained that builders should concentrate on developing products, infrastructure, and ecosystems rather than reacting to short-term market sentiment. According to him, long-term value creation matters more than temporary price action, particularly during bearish or uncertain market conditions.
He noted that markets naturally experience cycles, but over time, innovation and development continue to push the industry forward.
Communication Remains Key for Token Projects
In addition to long-term focus, CZ highlighted the importance of transparency and communication. He said that projects which have already issued tokens have a responsibility to keep their communities informed.
According to CZ, regular updates help maintain trust and engagement, even during periods of market weakness. Clear communication, he added, is especially important when prices are under pressure and sentiment is negative.
Long-Term Outlook Remains Intact
CZ’s comments reflect a broader message often shared during market downturns: short-term volatility should not overshadow long-term fundamentals. For builders, he emphasized, progress is measured in development milestones and adoption — not daily price charts.
