Recently, I've been going through those PFPs I stored before, it feels like flipping through an old photo album: back in the day, it was truly lively, but many "member benefits" now seem more like a passing breeze, once the wind stops, only the avatars remain. Honestly, whether a brand can survive the attention cycle depends on whether there are people continuously creating content in the community and willing to stay and chat; otherwise, no matter how many benefits there are, they’re like a temporary stage set.

These days, hardware wallets are all out of stock, phishing links are rampant again, which reminds me: the real sense of "membership" might not be about which group you join, but about everyone reminding each other not to click randomly or be greedy for quick gains. Despite the gloom, I still want to believe that some small communities can gradually grow, like a few lavender on the sand dunes... survive first, then talk about romance.
