Just took a look around at the brand-new PFPs and membership projects—it’s a bit dizzying. Honestly, everyone’s scrambling for attention right now, but the things that can really last don’t survive just by spamming content and shouting trade signals. My mode is to stop and have a cup of tea, then think about what this stuff actually solves.

Privacy coins have been hot again lately, and the arguments over regulatory and compliance boundaries are getting pretty intense, but I think the key is whether what you hold in your own hands actually has real value. Short-term attention is like foam—pop it once and it’s gone. It’s better to choose slowly and wait until things settle before taking a look.

Anyway, for now I’m stopping: stop posting, stop refreshing, stop watching—if it’s time to drink tea, then I’ll have tea.
