Recently, someone has been using PFPs as membership cards, basically packaging attention as a "brand." I don't deny that some communities can really grow, but most of the time what you buy isn't long-term value, it's just a period of excitement and chat room presence. Once the hype passes, the avatar is still just an avatar.

What's even funnier is that in the group, some are sharing about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and others are shouting "de-pegging, run fast," with emotions swinging like a pendulum; meanwhile, some still want to sleep through with membership benefits. Truly valuable long-term things don't rely so much on panic sharing to survive.

Now I feel more like patching myself: keep positions small, enter slowly, and don't treat "identity" as "assets." Small fixes are enough; no need to reinstall the system all the time.
