I just pulled out a few old PFPs to look at again. Honestly, when I bought them back then, I didn’t think too much about it—just wanted a weird avatar and to be able to say something in the group. Now, the “membership/brand” scene is increasingly looking like an attention economy: when it’s hot, everyone calls it a community; when it cools down, only a few images sit in wallets.

I don’t completely deny the long-term value, but it depends on whether it can still make you want to stay when no one’s discussing ETF capital flows and no one’s using US stock risk appetite to explain price movements. The moment attention wanes, you realize who’s a brand and who’s just fireworks.

Last night, I set up a few extreme drawdown orders, along with alerts and limits. My mindset immediately changed: I stopped watching the market constantly, and I even felt a bit empty… I used to trade on emotion, now I hold with rules. Anyway, if triggered, I’ll execute; if not, forget it—saving some bullets for the next wave of volatility. Success feels great, and even if I don’t get filled, I stay pretty calm.
