I believe they are in many ways interconnected. The better one area of Liotes is doing, the better for the other parts. I know this is won't be Liotes' first bear market, and that's very important, but I'd plan ahead for the next one, which I'm sure you are already doing. Community is central for Liotes, so whatever you do, keep it engaged (it will help through the bear market too).
We have tried to build a system that is quite untouched by market movements, which we more or less managed to do. However, the community and its dynamism seems much more correlated to market conditions than we thought.
Perhaps this dynamism is more this cycle than before, when the general mantra was hodl. Now, we see enough say "take profits". I am one of them, since this is my biggest regret from the previous cycle. Not sure if this would be better or not, but at least I try this approach as well.
That's probably true, there is a different sentiment around crypto than in the previous cycles
