A growth executive from a certain public chain recently spoke out in the community, sharing her views on meme culture. She stated that although she has a good understanding of how the meme community operates, she hopes everyone can participate and experience this type of culture with an entertainment mindset rather than excessive financialization.

Her core point is that she truly wants to see the emergence of native cultural symbols and movements within the public chain ecosystem—things that come from the grassroots community and are often more vibrant and enduring. At the same time, she explicitly emphasized her stance: although she has some influence and voice in the industry, she personally does not participate in any token financing or issuance activities, and hopes community members can understand this.

This person was appointed to the growth position in late November last year. From her latest statements, management prefers to guide the ecosystem toward a healthier and more authentic development path, rather than solely pursuing financial attributes. Such an attitude is still relatively rare in today’s crypto market.

Interesting, here comes another executive statement about "returning to the essence." Data shows that in 98% of the projects that say this, they ultimately get messed up by capital. The lessons of history, like Steem and Hive, have all been through this. Guess what... it's the same old trick in the end. Not to be confrontational, but sincerely suggest everyone: listen to her grand speeches, and watch where her wallet flows. Ironically, the ones who emphasize "no fundraising, no participation" are often the most active. If you ask me, this is a classic case of "putting on a show for the community"—management likes to use sentimentality to hypnotize token holders. The market is irrational, after all, and it always works. Bottom-up? Haha, forget it.

It's easy to say, but how should governance incentives be designed to truly constrain management? Relying solely on verbal promises has a high failure rate in history; mechanisms need to be locked in.

Alright, this girl finally said something reasonable. But when have I ever seen this circle truly give up on financialization...

ah yes, the classic "we want authentic community vibes" speech right after the bull run starts printing money again. statistically speaking, this is exactly how 2017 looked before the ico mania completely devoured itself. *checks notes* rinse, repeat, copium served fresh.

Well said, finally someone dares to say this. But to be honest, how many people can really hold a playful mindset without getting cut for the gains? --- Meme culture not financialized? Ha, I doubt it. As I always say, where there is money, there are desires. --- I quite agree with this idea; grassroots efforts are indeed more aggressive than official minting. --- Promises of not participating in financing are just words; the key is whether the ecosystem can really produce something. --- I'll just watch and wait. When genuine native cultural symbols are born, I'll consider entering. --- Stop it, it's that same "healthy ecosystem" rhetoric. In the end, it's just who’s token rises that gets followed. --- Actually, this idea isn't bad; the problem is whether the community has the resolve. --- Forget it, just play around and don't overthink it. --- Wow, this director's words are pretty good; at least the attitude is very correct. Whether it will succeed depends on subsequent actions. --- Playful mindset? Haha, as soon as there's a limit-up, everyone rushes to finance.

Well said, finally someone dares to speak out. But I wonder... how long can this attitude last? The temptation of the meme market is too great. --- Really? Not participating in financing? I am skeptical; the tricks in this circle are too deep. --- Bottom-up cultural symbols sound good, but in reality, someone still needs to guide and incubate them, right? --- Compared to shouting slogans, I want to see concrete actions. Talking the talk without walking the walk is fake. --- Entertainment mindset? Ha, I’m just here to make money, who isn’t? --- This management team at least has sincerity, much better than those purely cutting leeks. --- The over-financialization of meme culture is indeed a problem that should be taken seriously, but banning financing is not realistic. --- Speaking of which, her clear stance definitely adds points. Not many dare to say this these days. --- Bottom-up is correct, but you also need capital infusion to survive, which is contradictory. --- Liking this is just too idealistic. The current state of Web3 doesn’t tolerate such pure-minded people.

Uh... sounds good, but can it really be done? Not participating in token financing sounds honest, but who trusts that these days? Memes are supposed to be crazy; once managed, it loses its meaning. That's what they say, but in the end, it still becomes financialized. It's just how the ecosystem is.
