Recently, someone asked me again: Are PFPs, memberships, and brands long-term value or short-term attention? I feel like the pearls in bubble tea—excited when you take the first sip, but a bit dull after a while… To put it simply, stories and atmosphere can support for a while, but in the end, it still depends on whether the rights you get are “truly usable.”

These days on the blockchain, I also resonate with the debates about MEV and fair ordering; retail investors are like people waiting in line for hot soup—being cut in line and pretending not to see. If memberships are just giving you a profile picture frame, it’s like a queue-jumping ticket; if governance, profit sharing, and offline/online resources can truly be implemented, then it’s real tea leaves, not just flavoring.

I’m feeling quite conflicted right now—impulsively wanting to buy, but calmly afraid of catching the last strike… Anyway, I won’t chase hot soup for now, just see if it’s hot or not.
