When determining what to prioritize during a bear market, applying a straightforward screening process is best. You really only need to determine if a specific update contributes to making the chain faster, safer, or more useful. Should the response be positive, then you must deploy it. However, if the impact is lacking, it is best to discard the idea entirely. Treat anything else as unnecessary distraction and focus on the essentials. The industry tends to value the projects that demonstrate endurance through the silence.
