Cryptocurrency Consumption View: Experience, Vision and Imagination｜ Are you lonelier in the digital age?

How people think about something depends on their ideology

In the current era of globalization, globalization is about "material", not "culture". The most important question is: we are affected by different governments and different life experiences, which also lead us to have different imaginations about the future. But anyone who has studied history knows, what is the source of ideology?

Yes, it is centralized.

Regardless of whether you have enough faith in cryptocurrencies now, it is undeniable that centralization occupies a large part of most people's life experience. Even the most liberal country, Finland, will not have a fully decentralized government.

Therefore, the ideology that appears in reality will be reflected on the Internet to a large extent, and it will even be amplified. Because people’s public lives in real life are indistinguishable from their private lives online.

Although people have more time on the Internet, we still need public life in real life.

This makes it difficult to distinguish public life from private life.

Since it cannot be distinguished, we have to admit that in the short term, centralized control cannot be completely eliminated. And maybe the day we get rid of it, we'll have to pay for it.

Is perfect order an illusion?

Does overlapping consensus really matter? Will the ideal country cause anxiety and panic in most people? This problem seems to be unique to the digital age.

When the development trend of the entire Internet is to turn everyone into a citizen of the world, then we really need to seriously consider this issue: when we really step into the metaverse, a seemingly ideal country, as an individual, how to put our private Is life tied to the bigger picture?

Everyone seems to be connected in the metaverse, but if you're entering a virtual space like decentraland for the first time, it can be overwhelming. People from all over the world gather in the lobby, walk around, click on other people's profiles, and the experience makes you feel like one of them. But you can see right away that there is eerily no one really communicating there.

It was a kind of loneliness in the digital age.

As a post-95s generation, I don't think I have any resistance to new technologies, but at that moment, I suddenly ask myself, what will this virtual space develop into in the future?

At what stage does technology need to develop so that we can experience the seamless connection between reality and virtuality? In addition to the current crappy ar and vr, can the nature and touch in reality be copied? And how long do we need to wait for the realization of this technology?

Does rational idealism exist?

This is the age of memes. And what is the original meaning of meme?

meme - "an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture." frommerriam-webster.com

A platform, a video, and a successful marketing campaign can all be the catalyst for adding a token.

Some people say that a currency is a planet. Yet I try to understand the meaning: to find one's own belonging in a community, perhaps a variant of "patriotism"?

By definition, patriotism is an emotional resonance. So what about what we call cryptocurrencies? So "every cryptocurrency is a planet", is this assumption true?

At present, behind most currencies, there are piles of products and content. Let's take LUNA as an example:

In the early days, the fire of LUNA was indeed because of its mechanism of linking with stablecoins, which gave everyone a sense of security to some extent. And when more and more people regard it as a belief (calling themselves lunatics) rather than an application, it brings hidden dangers to the currency itself.

Every coin is a community. It is not the improvement of content and product quality, nor ecological diversity, but the public's sentiment towards the currency that has caused the sharp rise in the currency price.

So, is every planet we see an absolutely rational existence? Actually not. Most of the so-called “coins” we see so far are driven by sentiment.

Epilogue

In writing this article, I don't really want to analyze the taste, but to express confusion to everyone.

Because I am new to web3, I have as many imaginations and longings for the metaverse as I have "doubts" about it.
