To feel alive in 2023, a year+ into the bear, we need extreme action to feel anything, pain has become it's own pleasure, sometimes we just need it to feel alive Web3 Celebrates REKT mythos - Perhaps a carry over from the loss porn on wsb, Robin Hood portfolios going from $1k to $100k to $0k - In this PvP world, we know not everyone gonna be a winner, so if you gonna lose, lose in style Barebone - XCOPY works with skulls as a motif ... in majority of art - glitch art + skulls => pinnacle of 1/1 work in web3 - because when dead, you may as well party hard - Max Pain #3772 by XCOPY reference piece YOLO Culture - In old days, we lived in a physical reality - We had to keep up with the Joneses - Today ... we are constantly bombarded with life highlights - Expensive trips/cars on Instagram, homes we can't afford on TikTok, NFTs more than our annual salaries - For the average Joe or Jane to make it ... needs something that gives outsized returns - $50k ain't gonna change most lives ... the life we want costs a lot more - So we YOLO, we HODL longer than we should ... so we can plausibly dream of the future we want Dreams are Powerful - Shower thoughts, the idea hey it could be me, I took xyz crazy risk ... held through everything ... for the chance ... to get to next level - & this does lead to a lot of bad decision making - But people don't understand, YOLO is about buying the dream Vibes - Vibes are the defining factor of web3 - Differing from rest of financial markets - If the vibes are right ... the trade works it seems - What the hell does that mean? - Vibes = vibrations - Vibing = synchronized vibrations Vibrations - Imagine you're at a music festival & crowd moving to one beat, vibing at same frequency - A twitter spaces can have that same concept ... people are in sync - And the trade works, until the vibes are off ... and the momentary order shifts to disorder Getting in Sync - When we allow ourselves to become effectively group hypnotized ... combo'd with our propensity to YOLO - You can get parabolic moves in small market cap assets commonly found in web3 - Because people don't sell, the vibes are right Observation - I think we as a community are primed for the rise of @eth_ben and @Pauly0x being able to raise funds - on a vibe - given everyone's YOLO dreams to move their life from 0 to 1 - & even if it doesn't materialize, we have the safety net of our own REKT subculture
