What was the early crypto world like? Simply put, it was a tribal society. BTC was the totem, big influencers were the priests, whitepapers were the scriptures, and prices were entirely sustained by faith.



What about later? It turned into a nomadic civilization. Narratives became more important than products, consensus more than practical applications, signal calls equated to productivity, and emotions could determine coin prices. People jumped between tracks every day, one story after another, harvesting hearts time and again through "miracles."

But things have been different in the past two years.

The on-chain world has quietly entered the agricultural civilization stage. No one asks if you believe or not; they only ask if you can produce stable output. Fees, settlements, stablecoins, DeFi, RWA—these things seem boring to death, but they are the real hydraulic engineering—foundations.

Agricultural civilization asks three questions: Can it produce stably? Can it grow through compound interest? Can it operate long-term?

Look at PoS chains? On the surface, they promote decentralization ideals, but essentially they are land systems + dividend systems + tax systems. Staking is the land, fees are the grain, validators are local officials.

So the real bull market isn’t about crazy price surges, but about explosive on-chain productivity.

Meme coins are increasingly like scraps, the influence of signal calls is waning, and people switching tracks every day are anxious beyond measure. Meanwhile, those stable, slow, seemingly boring protocols are going further and further. Agricultural civilization doesn’t celebrate daily frenzy, but it silently reshapes entire classes.

The most heartbreaking thing is—people from the tribal era are inherently incompatible with the agricultural era. They love faith, emotion, all-in bets, and reliance, while agricultural civilization rewards discipline, time, and understanding of structure. The anxiety you see, the inability to hold, the all-in single coin bets? That’s not personality issues; it’s a civilization mismatch.
