I recently remembered an animated film called "Robot Dreams," and it really struck a chord.

The story is simple: a dog lives in 1980s New York, surrounded by bustling crowds and lively scenes, but that excitement has nothing to do with him. His daily life is divided into standardized time blocks—work, home, meals, sleep—like an assembly line with no branches, repeating over and over.

Until he bought a robot.

They dance, walk, watch TV. These are all very ordinary activities, nothing special. But the key point here is—someone to spend time with you. Not for any particular goal, not for any specific outcome, just companionship itself.

This made me think of the underlying logic of the Web3 community. Blockchain technology is important, but what truly makes people stay isn’t the technology itself. It’s the feeling of being seen, understood, and accompanied. It’s knowing that in front of a dark screen, thousands of strangers worldwide are looking at the same data, thinking about the same questions, and investing in the same vision.

Perhaps this is the true meaning of decentralization—not to eliminate centers, but to allow everyone to find their own companions, forming countless micro, organic, and spontaneous communities.

Loneliness isn’t the problem. Not having anyone to walk with you—that’s the real issue.
