my loosely held, emerging opinion on crypto’s parallels to fast fashion: the fashion industry produces over 100b products a year, with SHEIN alone adding 10k new product per day (!!). the average product is worn 7-10x before it’s discarded. imo the SHEIN-ification of fashion hasn’t been a net good. it has eroded the cultural and material value of what we wear. people don’t build identities around disposable clothes the same way they build identities around LVMH, Rolex, Levi’s, and other enduring brands that compound meaning over time. the “everything is a token” mantra puts crypto much closer to SHEIN than to LVMH. what once required thought and community (launching a token) has become a game of quantity over quality, and humans aren’t built for infinite new things. the “conceptual Dunbar’s Number” puts a psychological cap on what we can meaningfully track and care about and so the norm in fashion will too apply to crypto: engage an average of 7-10x (if that!) before discarding.

Good take. That which we engage in crafts our identity. If we engage in churned slop, without personality or identity, we embody that. "You are what you eat" comes to mind here. Consuming anon slop will not help you grow, will promote a lack of self identity and have a lasting negative impact. Psychology would suggest that these brands with story, endurance and tenacity have more personality. We can make it easy with the "stat points" reference Good brand = personality+xyz Shienified = personality+X There is a gains correlation to be had if you're willing to look
