Really underestimated this guy's boldness.

Four years ago, he decisively entered the market, buying 17 NFT items themed around Gundam in one go, directly investing 252 ETH. Very tough—he even changed his profile picture to that ultra-rare attribute version he bought for 125 ETH, and has used it for four years without changing it.

This is the spirit of the people in the NFT circle back then. Their beliefs were simple and straightforward: buy and hold long-term, no matter how the market crashes.

Compared to now? Most of the new NFT players are too impatient. When the coin price fluctuates, they think about cutting losses or rushing to take profits. The "diamond hands" mentality of holding tight after buying the dip is almost gone. The market mentality has completely changed.

It's been four years since I changed my avatar, which is indeed something. I have to respect this persistence.

nah, honestly? hodling the same pfp for four years is just... commitment theater at this point. technically speaking, proving you *actually* believe in something versus just being too lazy to click "update" – that's a whole different cryptographic problem, if you catch my drift. diamond hands or just forgot about it? implementation details matter.

Holding 125 ETH for four years as an avatar—that's true faith... The new rookies nowadays don't understand this.

Haven't changed my avatar in four years, that's really impressive. Now everyone is a short-term trader, who has that kind of patience?

From governance participation data, this precisely confirms my previous hypothesis — early NFT holders have a much higher token lock-up rate than later entrants, which essentially reflects the intergenerational differences in incentive mechanisms. It is worth noting that the long-term holding behavior of 252 ETH has, from an economic perspective, constituted a kind of implicit DAO governance voting, except that this voting is replaced by capital.
