鉴于 @BitgetWallet 举办的在 Bitget Swap 上交易 $TPS 的 FOMO Thursday 活动，我想分享和讨论几点： 1. 交易 $TPS 时，你究竟在交易什么 2. 为什么 TPS 代币是 Trends 平台长期发展的重要垫脚石 关于第一点：当你交易 $TPS 时，你交易的是一条社交帖子、一个时刻（而且是非常重要的时刻）——Trends Points 的上线，以及你对未来 Trends Points 会有价值的信念。 关于第二点：$TPS 并不是一个抽象的概念——它是一条具有历史意义的社交帖子的代币化形式。因此，社区可以围绕它凝聚——围绕着 @trendsdotfun 最终能成为一个被广泛采用的社交协议的信念，以及围绕着 Trends Points 上线是这一切起点的共识。在一个越来越多人开始相信“万物皆可交易”的世界里，人们仍需要看到一条社交帖子也可以价值 10 亿美元，而我们要证明这一点。 最后但同样重要的是，虽然我一直主张某些内容是可以被铸币化并且能够被很好地交易的（因为潜在的共识和社区力量），但我完全不同意所有内容都应该被铸币化。某些极具新闻价值并且在几个小时内能引发爆炸式流量的内容，或许更适合通过链上的游戏化机制来互动（例如“在这条推文点赞数只有X 时投资这条推文”），而不是通过铸币的形式。至于这一点，暂时先留个悬念 👀，我们会在十月再深入聊。 trend is good

在我们的发布贴里，我分享了三条第一性原理思考，作为我们为何要构建 Trends 的基础。（https://t.co/wZaLpauD2D） 简而言之，随着使用全球账本的成本不断降低，不管你喜不喜欢，我们正进入下一阶段 —— 一天之内发行的资产将从 5 万变成 500 万。资产的生命周期也会被极大加速。 然而，对那种“内容币会有价值“的笼统论断，我从来不认同，因为这并不成立。 99% 的内容币 —— 或者说任何“信息封装器“型代币——都会归零。在那 1% 在某一段时间内多少有点价值的之中，只有 0.01% 会演化为大众文化并在长期维持价值。 有人会问：既然你认为 99% 最终大概率归零，为什么还要做 Trends？ 因为一个运动员即使知道自己的职业生涯终将结束，也不会因此不在一段时间内（长或短）尽力发挥。 因为每个 Trends 代币所代表的不是最终的价值承载，而是在一定时间内某条信息的心智占有（mindshare）。 因为对任何创作者而言，他/她既可能产出影响力巨大的作品，也可能有不那么出色的作品。要想持续获得价值，就应当持续创作。 因为就今天的产品阶段而言，Trends 代表了互联网上公共社交内容的重要“策展层“。在 AI 的赋能下，内容生产成本正在迅速商品化、趋近于零，所以社会需要一种利用稀缺性来进行策展的机制，而这里的稀缺是链上资本（注意力资本）。 并不是所有内容都需要上链（on-chain）。开放互联网上的信息已经足够爆炸，我们没必要把一切都搬上链，只需要把能产生价值的搬上链。策展由此登场：如果你决定去 trend 某个内容，而它没有获得互联网资本的关注，那么代币化这件事对你来说就只是成本，无法帮你赚回钱。 既然你已经理解了产品的当前阶段，下一阶段会是什么样？ 我会在几天内分享。 敬请期待，#trendisgood#

下午的时候回忆起18、19、20年的时候和超哥和刘老师经常在小圈子里的交流，超哥还是五十一说第一期的嘉宾。时隔多年新朋旧友聚在一起，今晚 HKT 9点聊聊内容代币这个可以说是来了又去去了又来的话题。 明天开始是不是我也可以说后浪和知名播客Web3 101 串台了（如果聊得好的话 https://t.co/XkCS99qb0j

thank you for sharing the fun in "trend is good" in the past 24 hours! will send the 2SOL worth of trend is good to the following friends who helped making the trend even better xd @CryptoCurb @serpinxbt @henloitsjoyce @CalmanBTC @momochenming

since a few days ago some of the players who played @Stepnofficial and Gas Hero and @2184Official had been reaching out to me in DMs and asking how they could try out @trendsdotfun the days running gas hero and 2184 were the most memorable days in my life i wanted to thank you all for your deep love and involvement in the games that our team and myself spent days and nights creating and operating in the next 6 hours if you, one of the dear @fslweb3 users, could screenshot 1 picture of your favorite STEPN or Gas Hero or 2184 moment, and quote rt my current tweet with this picture and "________ , trend is good" i'll send you some "trend is good" tokens it's for the culture it's for our shared love for FSL it's for trend is good

ADJUSTMENT OF RULES FOR THE DAILY AIRDROP instead of requiring the participants to quote rt the announcement post, i thought it'd be more fun less hard shill to just do "__________, trend is good" participants no longer need (you stiill can if you'd like to) to quote rt the original post to be eligible ______ can be anything anything can be trend is good

ok you don't need to stay tuned too long now my ask: quote rt the post below with "_______, trend is good" (or simply just trend is good) and tag me for the next 5 days at daily 4am UTC i'll pick top 5 highest quality engagement posts of the past 24 hours and airdrop the 5 account owners 10 SOL worth of mable's "trend is good" (the quoted tweet below, each person 2SOL worth) i'll buy on chain at 4am UTC daily trend is good

i realized that begging for airdrop ain't gonna work no one's really tipping me anything except for someone tipped my HODLong SOL account with 66666 trend is good - tysm so i bought the top 3 MC on @trendsdotfun with 5 SOL each one on @gmgnai and two on @AxiomExchange https://t.co/l3gIyrW4A2

I’m excited to announce that I have started Trends @trendsdotfun, a value-anchored social protocol that pushes the frontier of information finance. It’s also a bittersweet farewell moment: my full-time gig with @fslweb3 has come to an end, but I will continue to support the company as an advisor. I will have a separate post to reflect on this extremely meaningful journey. Trends already has the early backing of an incredible group of founders and angels whose belief in the vision gives us both support and accountability: @aeyakovenko @calilyliu @ @SolanaFndn @weremeow & @sssionggg @ @JupiterExchange @Punk9277 @ @KaitoAI @PrimordialAA @ @LayerZero_Core @tn_pendle @ @pendle_fi @cindyleowtt & @davijlu @ @DriftProtocol Alice & James Zhang @ @JamboTechnology @ZhuoxunYin & @bytheophana @ @MagicEden @TusharJain_ @ @multicoincap @Jerry10240 & @yawn_rong & @shitirastogi @ @fslweb3 @zhusu @dapanji_eth @ @bonk_fun @0xsudogm @ @dragonfly_xyz @MapleLeafCap @ @FoliusVentures After several years pursuing broader consumer adoption in crypto, I’ve distilled three first-principle convictions: 1️⃣ Every true Web3 breakthrough happens where value can flow with radically less friction - think 2017 ICOs and 2020 DeFi Summer (and even 2023 Pumpfun). The next innovation leap, as a result, will also emerge with another 100× improvement in value-flow efficiency. 2️⃣ Tokens are information containers, and social media is already the busiest information market; if every post became a token, information flow and value flow could finally merge. 3️⃣On-chain issuance and value transfer costs will keep falling, so social is now perfectly positioned for that merger in point 2. With these beliefs in mind, we started Trends. It begins as an on-chain curation layer for X (and soon for any open content such as TikTok) and will grow into a social protocol coordinated by internet capital. Each piece of content forms its own curve, volatility and spike; accounts that consistently create / surface high-consensus posts accumulate a reputation that can’t be faked. AI is pushing the cost of content production toward zero. When views, likes and even entire posts can be botted for pennies, on-chain capital becomes the one scarce, transparent signal of real consensus. Trends provide a direct pipeline from belief to PnL. Wash-trading has its corresponding costs, and an open protocol gives everyone the same chance to participate. That, to me, is what mass adoption looks like: your everyday actions carry on-chain financial weight. Imagine one like equals one dollar - each click automatically buys from the curve, and your automatic exit target can be preset. Opinion expressed, position taken, no extra steps. We’re at the dawn of this new era. Trends is defining a new asset class. Forging new behaviors is never easy, but trend is good.
