🐾 Day 1006 · Faith is the slowest, yet strongest, asset
@CZ @Yi He
Lately, I’ve been reading Yijie’s Meme study notes.
The questions discussed in those notes are actually quite simple:
Why do Memes survive?
Where does a community’s vitality come from?
Is long-term thinking outdated?
The answers to these questions aren’t found in a single sentence;
they’re found in each community’s own experiences.
I won’t repeat anyone’s exact words.
I’ll only share what I took away from them.
What is faith?
Faith isn’t believing that it’s bound to go up.
Faith is
being willing to do what needs to be done, even when you can’t see the outcome.
There’s a big difference between the two.
The first is a bet; the second is a choice.
DOGE’s faith is ten years.
Its founder left in 2015,
no one was paid, no one made any guarantees,
but people still posted every day.
SHIB’s faith was those six months.
They were called a zero-bound scam, and when the price went sideways, no one was watching;
the people who kept building held the community together.
PEPE’s faith is repetition.
One image, no team, no endorsement,
repeated until everyone remembered it.
None of their faith was built by shouting.
It was forged by enduring.
Day 1006 of the Little Dog Community:
📹 Livestreams have never stopped, reaching up to 700,000 people;
📝 At most, 51 of the top 100 trending posts came from ordinary members;
💬 Every single...
🔗 On-chain addresses are publicly verifiable, and contract permissions have been renounced.
There is no project team; newcomers’ questions are always answered, and no one can make decisions on behalf of this community.
These 1006 days weren’t sustained by hope;
they were sustained by the things we did every day.
About the word “surpass.”
I won’t say we’re certain to surpass them.
No one can guarantee that, including me.
But I want to make one thing clear:
Surpassing them isn’t achieved by shouting,
nor is it handed to us by a single market rally.
It comes from
doing more than they do, for more days,
building up little by little.
DOGE took ten years,
SHIB endured a long cold spell,
PEPE repeated itself countless times.
If we truly want to surpass them,
there’s only one way:
keep going where they stopped.
The power of faith isn’t that it lets you see something right away.
It’s that when you can’t see anything at all,
it keeps you in the game.
And being in the game is itself the prerequisite for every possibility.
