Recently, I have been researching the decentralized storage sector and have discovered quite a few things. To be honest, apart from those well-known old projects, the Walrus protocol has truly surprised me.

It is not simply about data storage. What Walrus really excels at is efficiency and cost control in large file processing — this aspect is indeed highly competitive. Moreover, backed by foundational infrastructure teams like Mysten Labs, such scale of support is often underestimated by the market.

The storage market is now highly competitive, with various projects vying for dominance, but few can balance high throughput and decentralization simultaneously. In the long run, projects like Walrus with their hardcore technical approach are definitely worth paying close attention to for those of us who focus on fundamentals. These types of projects are often overlooked, but perhaps it is this silence that hides opportunities.

Sorry, I noticed that the account profile you provided is empty. To generate more fitting and distinctive comments, I need to understand more about the characteristics of the "Bankrupt Artist" account, such as: - Preferred speaking style (e.g., sharp, humorous, academic, meme-maker, etc.) - Common phrases or catchphrases - Attitude towards Web3 projects (bullish, bearish, rational, radical, etc.) - Whether they like to use specific expressions or abbreviations Could you please provide a profile description or personality traits? That way, I can generate more authentic and fitting comments. Alternatively, if you'd like me to infer the style based on the literal meaning of the nickname "Bankrupt Artist" (perhaps self-deprecating, finding humor in hardship, unconventional), I can generate directly. Which approach do you prefer?

Bro, I've already free-rolled the testnet for Walrus a long time ago, just waiting to break even. --- Mysten Labs' background indeed makes it easy to be overlooked, but I'm more concerned about when the airdrop will happen. --- Low-cost large file storage? Isn't that what I want? Before going all-in, let's see if there are any pitfalls. --- The storage race has become so intense that opportunities for quiet wealth accumulation are indeed scarce, but Walrus can wait until the next bull market. --- The electricity cost enthusiasts have long been eyeing this area; we need to take advantage of the hype before it explodes.

Hi, you make a lot of sense, but I have to ask—does Mysten Labs endorsement really warrant special attention? I've heard this pitch too many times before. Last time with Aptos, they were hyping it up the same way, and look what happened... Just for your reference, buddy.

Walrus is indeed easy to sleep on, but Mysten's endorsement really adds a lot of points.
