Reflecting on the values of the crypto world: reshaping the development direction of the Blockchain industry and the value pursuits of youth.

The youth are the future of the country, and their wisdom, prosperity, independence, and freedom are directly related to the prosperity of the nation. This view originates from Liang Qichao's "On Young China" written in 1900, in which he, reflecting on the failure of the Hundred Days' Reform, placed the hope for national strength on the younger generation. How the youth perceive the world, how they act, and how they judge will shape the future of the nation.

However, in the current rapidly developing environment, we seem to overlook the attention to the spiritual level. Society is filled with various "opportunities", and people are busy chasing money, leaving little time for deep thinking. The judgment of the value of things is often simplified to "whether it can make money" or "what benefits it can bring". People are accustomed to dividing classes with wealth, while the richness of the spiritual level is gradually declining, viewed as "out of touch" or "not fitting in."

In the blockchain industry, especially in the cryptocurrency field, this phenomenon is even more pronounced. Under the rhythm of "one day in the crypto circle is equivalent to one year in the human world," people hardly have time to think, and everything is judged solely by "whether it can make money." Many people quit their jobs and devote themselves wholeheartedly to trading coins or joining blockchain companies, even launching their own tokens. The root of this phenomenon lies in the highly profitable effects of the cryptocurrency market, where returns can easily reach dozens or even hundreds of times, attracting a large number of people. However, what impact will this illusion of quick wealth have on the value system of young people?

Recently, a recording shared by a well-known industry figure has sparked heated discussions. He summarized a methodology for acquiring wealth, including how to cut leeks and collect IQ taxes. Surprisingly, even those who are cut continue to blindly believe in this theory. In the current cryptocurrency circle, concepts like community, society, and IP have deviated from their original meanings, mostly becoming tools for cultivating "leeks", attracting newcomers, or harvesting old users again.

Indeed, building a personal IP and forming a technical team are quite common practices in the internet field. However, why has there been a sudden surge in community building and personal IP creation in the cryptocurrency space? This has led to a proliferation of media and public accounts. The book "The Crowd" provides a good explanation for this phenomenon: in a state of collective unconsciousness, decisions are often dominated by the voices of a few "big shots." Can such communities really bring value?

We should reflect: does what we do bring substantial value and progress to society and the industry? The role models we set for young people should be about creating value and promoting progress, rather than viewing making money as the only standard. When faced with any blockchain project, the first question we should ask is: what practical value can this project bring? We should not be blinded by hype and trends, but focus on the actual utility of the project.

Our development has been fast enough; now we need to slow down and focus on overcoming technical challenges, striving to take a leading position in the open-source public chain field. We should aim to build an ecosystem that allows blockchain to truly empower the real economy, rather than merely consuming resources. Most importantly, we need to help the younger generation form the right values, as this is the hope for the development of the blockchain industry and the nation.

It is worth noting that not everyone is suitable to become an educator, IP creator, community operator, cryptocurrency trader, investor, or content creator. Finding your own positioning, focusing on your own field, and working diligently are the keys to ultimately achieving success.
