Tolerance for bubbles is what fosters innovation—a strength of the American economy, and also related to the political factors of hegemony and the dollar's global plunder. This has led to a somewhat weaker spirit of innovation in China. Meanwhile, Anglo-Saxon Europe faces far greater challenges than China. Therefore, it's not that the Chinese lack innovation; on the contrary, it is precisely because the Chinese are both courageous in innovation and pragmatic in execution that the current Sino-US political landscape has been formed.
The current Chinese economy has virtually no bubbles, so there's less of the "start from scratch" mentality, stemming from the high cost of implementing ideas. If you had visited China 10 years ago, you would have found many groundbreaking, world-changing ideas being implemented with extremely high efficiency, undergoing a process of natural selection.
You need to understand that among China's more than one billion people, many are returnees from overseas studies or immigration. Their innovative thinking is certainly no weaker than that of Silicon Valley. It's just that the current environment cannot support the implementation of those ideas that might require huge costs. The strongest point of the Chinese is their operational and execution capabilities. Many Silicon Valley models have been tried and proven false countless times in China. It's just that "fat tail incidents" often occur in the process of repeated falsifications and continued attempts, which is why it seems to be the way it is now.
Well, just holding Linea will open up further rewards opportunities, mostly in other tokens; some from Consensys and some from protocols that we are aligned with.
MetaMask and Linea are cooking somETHing together to make this happen.
Together we are all bootstrapping the Linea Token Economy. Holding LINEA tokens signals that you are a Linea community member and are likely engaged in productive Linea Economy activities: building, liquidity provision / staking, using, collecting, ....
So if we notice, at some date in the future that you've held n LINEA tokens for m days, that just might lead to another token landing in your account. And if n and m are larger numbers your account might receive a larger reward. Rinse, repeat.
Yes, there is no need for such public announcements. Just like when Hyperliquid airdropped surprises for users who held memes but didn't sell them in season 1.5, it gained a lot of loyalty and everyone campaigned for it, which ultimately brought Hyperliquid the greatest prosperity.
@MikeJamesX@PythNetwork I agree with $pyth's value for cryptocurrencies, but I don't agree with $pyth's investment. Compared with $link, all loyal long-termists have been harvested by $pyth.
@mdomcahill The cliff unlock is a good thing for you, but the cliff unlock also caused the coin price to fall to its current level, which is a deception for your loyal users who have supported you for a long time.
