I’ve actually been thinking recently that it’d be better if things like PFPs and memberships could move a bit more slowly. Everyone is rushing to put their “identity” out there, and once the hype kicks in, it feels like a brand. But when the market turns cold, what’s often left is just secondary liquidity pulling back—whoever runs slower ends up being forced into becoming a long-term holder… pretty realistic.

To put it simply, long-term value isn’t about how good the avatar looks. It’s about whether people are still willing to use it, keep joining groups, and keep doing things when there’s no trending topic and no airdrop expectations. Now retail traders complain every day that validators/miners are making too much, and that MEV makes ordering unfair—I can understand that too. When the underlying rules are already so “fast” and crowded, the business of attention at the top layer is even more like a sprint.

I’m the one who’s a bit late to the game. Watching on-chain anomalies and how quickly funds flee, you all go ahead and be lively first—I’d rather earn less than step on a landmine. That’s where I’m at for now.
