Recently, I saw a bunch of PFPs + membership cards claiming to build "long-term brand value." Honestly, I want to believe it, but every time I join the group chat, the hottest topics are still changing profile pictures and grabbing whitelist spots within the first few minutes. Stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and the "de-anchoring" rumors have been flying around in the group these days. People are shouting not to panic while already pulling liquidity, and emotions are much faster than logic.

I thought that if membership benefits were detailed enough, it could retain people. But what actually makes me willing to renew is: project teams rarely make empty promises, and when problems arise, they can clearly write a review; contract permissions shouldn’t be like a blind box. Using PFP as a ticket isn’t a problem, but if the ticket only represents an attention business behind it... my cat-like nature just wants to pull back first, maybe try a small position out of curiosity, and that’s it for now.
