《2026: My Web3 'Friend Circle' Observation Log》
My name is Xiao Ya, a freelance writer passionate about documenting the curiosities of Web3 with words. I don't trade coins directly, but the 'big shots' in my friend circle perform magical realism dramas every day.
One of my friends, in order to grab a certain Layer2 airdrop, operated 200 wallets at the same time, getting up at 3 am every day to cross-chain, interact, and claim NFTs. As a result, when the airdrop was released, the coins she received were only enough for her to buy a 3 yuan power bank.
She was so angry that she posted an 800-word essay in the group accusing: "What kind of airdrop is this? This is simply a waste of life!"
I comforted her: "Dear, this is called 'experiencing the spirit of decentralization.' At least you proved that in Web3, time is also a cost."
She rolled her eyes at me: "I think the 'time cost' isn't high enough."
Recently, I attended an industry salon where a project CEO passionately explained their new concept of 'Web3 + AI + biometrics + quantum computing' using complex vocabulary.
A lady next to me was so confused that she asked me, "Young girl, does this 'quantum computing' he talked about, can it calculate my lottery numbers?"
I almost couldn't help but laugh. I realized that no matter how cool the Web3 concept is, it ultimately boils down to the simplest words: 'making money.'
I returned home, quietly opened my computer, and sent a message: "When you feel that Web3 is too complicated and hard to understand, remember: it’s ultimately just a giant playground for humans to project dreams, create anxiety, and conveniently harvest a wave of 'consensus.'"
