A certain project recently launched a creative incentive program with simple participation rules: publish original content, ensure quality and word count standards, and you can compete for a reward pool of 400,000 project tokens. This kind of approach is quite common in the community, but such a strong enforcement is indeed rare.

Honestly, my initial motivation for participating in this kind of activity is to earn rewards—what's wrong with that? The crypto world is fundamentally a place of value exchange. Instead of pretending to "write casually, it doesn't matter," it's better to honestly admit: I am attracted by this incentive. Compared to those who stay up late to trade or make money by guessing K-line trends, at least I am trying to earn rewards through content output, which is a reasonable business logic.

It's 2026, and various narratives are flying around in the crypto space, but ultimately, the core remains the same—making money is not shameful; the real shame is self-deception. Instead of fussing over these illusions, it's better to face reality: go after the rewards you should, seize the opportunities you can. Wherever the capital flows, put your efforts there. This is the most honest attitude to live in the present.
