my loosely held, emerging opinion on cryptoâs parallels to fast fashion: the fashion industry produces over 100b products a year, with SHEIN alone adding 10k new product per day (!!). the average product is worn 7-10x before itâs discarded. imo the SHEIN-ification of fashion hasnât been a net good. it has eroded the cultural and material value of what we wear. people donât build identities around disposable clothes the same way they build identities around LVMH, Rolex, Leviâs, and other enduring brands that compound meaning over time. the âeverything is a tokenâ mantra puts crypto much closer to SHEIN than to LVMH. what once required thought and community (launching a token) has become a game of quantity over quality, and humans arenât built for infinite new things. the âconceptual Dunbarâs Numberâ puts a psychological cap on what we can meaningfully track and care about and so the norm in fashion will too apply to crypto: engage an average of 7-10x (if that!) before discarding.

possibly a bit reductive but feel slop is kinda the catch all term for this fast fashion --> wearable slop token launchpads --> onchain slop ai --> text and image slop etc etc that being said i feel this is sort of the purpose of technology, democratization of everything. in theory this places even more value for the things imbued w care and intention
