I just saw a post saying some L2 is still bragging about how high its TPS is. My first reaction was: it sounds exactly like back when everyone was rushing to buy PFPs—whoever’s floor price rose faster. What happened, though? Now a bunch of pictures are lying in people’s wallets like abandoned beauties in a cold palace, while the project team has already swapped to a new alias.

If, back then, everyone had compared less on parameters and thought more about how to make members genuinely useful—like using PFPs as tickets to governance dinner parties, or redeeming tangible airdrop entitlements—maybe we could still be hanging around in the group, talking big. Anyway, that’s how I feel: attention comes fast and dissipates just as fast. Long-term value is like governance meetings—you can be late, but don’t pretend to be asleep.
