Just when I thought I’d seen it all, someone else is hyping PFP as a "membership card" and blowing it out of proportion. Honestly, I’m quite conflicted about this. To put it simply, whether PFPs will hold value long-term depends more on whether you're willing to stick with this community and endure the ups and downs, rather than just chasing some hype. When the hype is high, everyone treats it as a brand or status symbol; when the hype fades, only the avatars remain, and the chat groups become quiet... Anyway, I now see it more as an "interest tax." If you really like it, buy it for a sense of participation; if you don’t, don’t force a narrative of value. By the way, I see the funding rates are extremely volatile again, and in the group, people are arguing whether to reverse or keep squeezing the bubble. I just want to say: the more it looks like a "membership," the easier it is to be emotionally charged into paying a membership fee. For now, I’ll keep dollar-cost averaging and rebalancing, look less at avatars, and focus more on whether I can hold onto my positions.
