Recently, I've been browsing PFPs and various "membership cards" again, basically buying an identity + story. Is there long-term value? I think there is, but it depends on whether the brand actually has people doing work behind the scenes or if they're just issuing whitelist spots. Now everyone is daily watching the token unlock calendar, and as soon as staking unlocks, there's a rush to sell, causing anxiety about selling pressure, making "membership benefits" seem like short-term painkillers for attention... It’s lively for a couple of days and then it disperses.

I personally trust my intuition more; the reason is simple: truly beautiful, genuinely interesting things, I want to collect at first sight. No matter how good the data looks, it can't replace that kind of impulse of "I just want to have this." Anyway, before rushing in, I set a fixed budget. After buying, I don’t blame the market, I blame my quick hands.
