A long and heavy bear market like the one that we are in right now definitely has an impact on the mood of the people that are involved in the crypto space. I personally don't really wanna look at the my portfolio value anymore if i am honest. It was already down like 95% compared to it's ATH even before that whole stuff happened with FTX and now it is even way lower than that. If people are sad and demotivated then of course they also have no intention to talk about cryptos on forums anymore. I noticed that also in the german subforum here. During bullruns there are new people joining the conversations, but during bear market it is very quiet.
