Foresight has published a reader Q&A addressing three questions: the outlook for stablecoin-focused public blockchains, the latest dollar-cost averaging choices and price levels, and whether October could mark the low of the current bear market.
Stablecoin-specific chains may remain on the margins
The first question came from a reader response to the Aug. 10 article "The Great Washout of Public Blockchains." The author said these blockchains built specifically for stablecoins are likely to end up in the same category described in that earlier piece: short-lived in terms of broader market relevance.
That does not mean they will necessarily die, the author wrote. Some may keep a small business going, build a limited ecosystem, or even sustain a certain level of profitability. Even so, their place in the wider crypto ecosystem could be so minor that they are effectively negligible.
To make the point, the author compared them to lesser-known fourth-tier cities in China. Such cities may offer strong living conditions, a friendly environment, and residents who deeply value them, but they rarely become the main focus for people looking at the broader economy or searching for outsized opportunities.
By the same logic, the author said attention in crypto should stay on the mainstream part of the ecosystem rather than on so-called dedicated chains.
DCA focus remains on Bitcoin and Ethereum
Asked about the latest assets and price levels for regular purchases, the author said the answer has not changed since the last time it was discussed publicly. The DCA targets are still Bitcoin and Ethereum.
There is one distinction this cycle. The author said no Bitcoin DCA has been made because the price has not dropped to what was viewed as a sufficiently attractive level.
Ethereum was described more favorably. The author said the DCA price for ETH had been raised to $3,000, adding that Ethereum appears to offer greater potential.
No one knows whether October will mark the bottom
The third question followed the Aug. 12 article "Crypto Talent Turns to AI, Where Does the Crypto Industry Go From Here?" Under that question, another reader left a comment that the author said already answered it in full: "Because he doesn't know. ... He really doesn't know, because nobody knows."
The author agreed with that assessment, saying there is no way to know where the lowest point is or when it will arrive. If that were knowable, the author added, there would be no reason to use a DCA strategy at all. One could simply wait for the bottom and invest all available capital at that point.
The piece then returned to a broader point about investing. The author said investors should work deeply within a field they know especially well and use that understanding to identify opportunities in a niche they truly understand.
But that kind of understanding is not meant to produce precise bottom and top calls. Instead, it should help an investor better judge a token or asset's long-term potential and underlying value. When the market price sits well below intrinsic value, the author wrote, that is when deeper understanding matters: others may fail to hold or hesitate to buy, while a more conviction-driven investor may be able to do both.
The article closes by repeating a view the author said had been shared days earlier: ordinary investors should get rid of the ideas of perfect bottom-fishing and perfect top-selling altogether, because those ideas do more harm than good for most people.
The article also carries a disclaimer saying markets involve risk, investment requires caution, and the content does not constitute investment advice. Readers are responsible for assessing whether the views expressed fit their own circumstances.
