What is the most common mistake in the crypto world? Constantly chasing after the next hundredfold coin, but never asking yourself why you always miss out.
Look at what the true big players in the industry are focusing their time on—they're not staring at candlestick charts, nor are they relying on rumors. They pay attention to cultural infrastructure, community consensus, and the real tangible value of projects. What does this tell us? Opportunities are always where your attention is.
Numbers keep speaking. The total market capitalization of the global crypto market is still less than half of Apple’s. That sounds pretty harsh, but think about it—blockchain aims to reconstruct the underlying logic of financial systems, identity verification, data ownership, and even cultural memory. Today’s fluctuations are, to be honest, barely worth warming up for.
The problem is most people are still using "gambling dog mentality" to dig for wealth secrets everywhere. Buying hot topics, chasing trends, only to find themselves always the bag holder. This cycle needs to be broken. The real approach is to shift to a "tree planting mindset"—find projects with solid narratives, active communities, and ecosystems that can sustain themselves, then patiently nurture their growth.
How to find such projects? Watch actions, not stories.
SPURDO is an interesting case. This community doesn’t shout daily calls to pump the price, but they are doing real work: they systematically researched the evolution of meme images from 2008 to now and turned it into an open-source cultural archive; they have implemented the philosophy of "Do Only Good Everyday" across regions like Bhutan and India into tangible charitable actions; members voluntarily print posters and stick them all over city streets to spread the message physically; they also deeply collaborate with ecosystem-level players like MemeCore, constantly expanding the narrative boundaries.
That’s the difference. Some projects rely on slogans to raise funds, while others build confidence through real actions. The former plays for short-term traffic, the latter cultivates long-term consensus.
What will 2026 look like? No one knows for sure. But your current choice is clear—continue chasing the hype and jumping in and out as a spectator, or deepen your layout in signals and become an early participant? Planting trees is planting consensus, planting the future. This isn’t hype, it’s the truth.

There's nothing wrong with that; that's how the FOMO guy comes about.
It's not like they've never watched K-line charts every day, and not a single one made a profit.
SPURDO's approach indeed brings some new ideas, but there are many projects like this.
The "planting trees" mindset sounds far-fetched, but it's definitely better than gambling.

Exactly right, I am the one who misses out every day...
---
While big players are planting trees, I am still rolling in the dog-eat-dog mentality, which truly calls for reflection.
---
SPURDO's move was indeed hardcore. Compared to those projects that constantly shout buy, I could really feel the difference.
---
The problem is that knowing these principles is easy, but actually implementing them is another matter.
---
Reading this article hit me hard. I need to honestly evaluate what my portfolio is really betting on.
---
But to be fair, how do you determine whether a project is truly planting trees or just well-packaged? Sometimes it's really hard to tell.

I was moved by this idea of "building consensus," and I feel like I need to change my perspective.

nah this "seed planting" framing is just longer-term exit liquidity with extra steps... most of these projects still have governance attack vectors nobody's talking about

That's so true. I used to be the kind of fool who asked every day, "Where's the next hundredfold?" only to end up with a bloody history of taking the bait.
Now I finally understand that those who truly make money never chase hot topics; they focus on the ecosystem.
The example of SPURDO is incredible—going so far as to research meme images, do charity work, and print posters? Now that's faith, not just a routine of pure leek-cutting.
I love the "planting trees" mindset, but to be honest, most people still can't change their gambling dog mentality, including myself—sometimes I also act impulsively.
