Crypto is literally a game
• Navigating danger: protocol rugs, bridge hackers, exploiters
• Grinding matters: level up through screen time and muscle memory
• Different side quests to explore: trading, content, building, airdrop campaigns, testnets, governance proposals
• PvP by design: MEV, sniping, listings, narrative battles); sometimes PvE facing the ultimate boss
• Guilds and clans: DAOs, FnF groups, degen trading group chats, syndicates, TG groups
• Different seasons: Bull/bear, DeFi summer, NFT summer, points meta, memecoins, AI Agent szn, Perp Dex meta, revenue meta
• Explore different maps: chains are servers; bridges are portals with travel risk
• Skill checks: On-chain literacy, opsec, understanding tokenomics and token listings, how market making works, CT lingo
• Leaderboards: On-chain PnL, DegenScore, points leaderboard
• Skins & identity: NFT PFPs, ENS/Farcaster handles, Kaito yap score, CT clout
• Different checkpoints: cyberpunk, ICO, DeFi, Stablecoins, T-Bills RWAs, institutional adoption, country adoption
