Culture used to be something humans created, now it's something they consume.

This hits different in crypto. We went from building decentralized systems and experimenting with new governance models to just aping into whatever coin influencers shill.

Remember when communities actually built stuff? Now everyone's just waiting for the next narrative to pump their bags. The irony is we have all the tools to CREATE but most people just scroll, react, and buy.

Maybe that's why the real alpha is still in communities that actually ship—not just consume content about shipping.
