Recently, I was asked again whether PFP is really about long-term value or short-term attention... Honestly, it's both, right? You put up a profile picture, which indeed serves as a "I'm here" sign in the past few days, but what really lasts are the memberships: whether people can have a continuous reason to return to the group, vote, or meet offline for a drink and chat about differences. On-chain data tools and tagging systems have been criticized for being laggy and potentially misleading, and I feel the same — don’t be too superstitious about "who is the smart money," sometimes it’s just that a group’s collective action has been labeled with a nice-sounding tag. Anyway, I see branding more like a long-term relationship now: the profile picture is the first impression, but the follow-through is what builds momentum. What I don’t regret is... not rushing to take sides at the governance meeting that was a mess back then; I focused on keeping people around, and later, during the after-party debrief, it was easier to reach consensus. That’s all for now.
