Recently, I've been looking at PFPs and memberships again. To put it simply, many times it's not about "long-term value," but more about first drawing attention, then seeing if it can truly become a brand and rights. When I was a beginner, I always misunderstood: expensive avatar = strong project = buy early and be stable. My current understanding is: whether it's expensive or not is just an emotional thermometer; whether it can deliver continuously and whether the community can be self-consistent are the key.
I still have my old problem: the more excited I get, the more I want to act, but I will set the entry conditions in stone: the path to rights realization, whether liquidity is deep enough, whether I can accept impermanent loss... If I get wrecked, I’ll just take it as tuition. Recently, the debate over privacy coins, mixing coins, and compliance boundaries has been exhausting. The same PFP, explained differently in different circles, attention comes quickly but also disperses quickly. Anyway, I focus on realization first and don’t fall in love with slogans.
