Don't remind me again today

Do you remember the golden record that flew into the depths of the universe in 1977? Voyager took it through interstellar space, carrying humanity's greetings, music, and marks of civilization. That was our first attempt to greet the unknown universe.



There is a project called The Golden Record, which aims to replay this legend on the blockchain. However, this time, instead of throwing records into space, we want to engrave human voices, memories, and cultural fragments onto the blockchain. The idea is quite romantic—allowing these digital traces to float like stardust, forever in a decentralized network, never to disappear.

In simple terms, it is about creating a backup of human civilization using Web3 methods. On-chain data is immutable and can theoretically last a very long time. As for whether it can truly be seen by "aliens" like the golden record of the past, that's another story. But at least this attempt itself has indeed clarified the relationship between technological romanticism and crypto culture.

The saying that Blockchain will last forever sounds beautiful, but let's be honest, how long can this thing really hold up? To be frank, I’m more worried about this chain crashing one day than about aliens seeing it. Isn't this just the same old NFT story, just told with a different concept? Romantic as it may be, I just want to know who is footing the bill. It feels like selling an ideal, but in reality, it’s still on the edge of playing people for suckers.

Haha, it's another one of those "permanent storage" dreams. Can on-chain data really last until aliens see it? I feel like by the time that day comes, the Blockchain will have upgraded ten times.

The case is solved, this is a new way to combine nostalgia marketing with on-chain storage.

I have said it long ago, the track of cultural permanent storage will eventually explode, and those who are still waiting now are just like the people who missed the internet.

On-chain permanent storage sounds beautiful, but I'm afraid that one day the network will crash and the data will be lost.

The idea of blockchain permanence sounds beautiful, but can it really outlast the Internet itself? That's a question. On-chain backups of human civilization... it sounds like leaving homework for future archaeologists. Romantic as it may be, it mainly requires continuous maintenance of these nodes, otherwise the data is useless. Haha, here’s another project trying to replicate the Voyager probe, but this time it's the digital version, right? Permanent storage sounds great, but how do we calculate the gas fees? We can't just keep burning money, can we? It feels like a way to give Web3 a sense of existence, a hybrid experiment of art and technology.
