Recently, I've seen a bunch of PFPs and membership cards talking about "long-term brand value." Honestly, I'm now more cautious: are they cultivating a community, or just grabbing attention? Attention comes quickly and goes just as fast. When things are hot, everyone seems like family; when it cools down, you're left with a bunch of avatars awkwardly following each other.

These days, the staking unlocks and token unlock calendar are being brought up repeatedly. People’s anxiety about selling pressure feels very real. I also get a tight feeling in my chest. But the more this happens, the more I get itchy to "cut a deal," which can turn into revenge trading... My current rule is to drink water first, wait ten minutes, then decide whether to click confirm.

I no longer believe that "buying a membership equals buying certainty." Anyway, I care more about whether, when the project cools down, you can clearly explain where the money went and whether promises have been fulfilled. Everything else is just noise to be ignored for now.
