The mfers #5307, #7467, #8498, #9174 I currently hold.
Obviously, I am not an OG, let alone a big player, just an ordinary "mfer" (note: mfers holders claim to be), and I am not ranked in terms of understanding of the project, but as a reporter, at the same time I am also a small fan who almost emptied all the remaining bullets in the NFT wallet on mfers. I still think I should talk about my views on mfers.
About what these stickmen with big heads are, mfers founder Sartoshi said in his self-report《what are mfers》The most appropriate explanation has been given here, so some basic concepts are directly passed here.
As for the analysis of the market, I dare not speak nonsense, so this article will not talk about whether the growth pattern of mfers is healthy, how the positions of giant whales have changed, and whether there are any celebrities rushing in... This article is not investment advice, just to think From the perspective of an ordinary mfer, let me talk about what I have seen in the half a month since I came into contact with mfers.
On February 1st, which is the first day of the Lunar New Year, when everyone was busy visiting relatives and friends, as a media practitioner, I was working hard in front of the computer for a whole day. It happened that the transaction volume of mfers The historical peak value of the past two months has been refreshed, so some related discussions can be seen in the community.

David Hoffman, the co-founder of Bankless, now even has mfer in his name.

The mfers #8362 I first bought, but later I exchanged other mfers at the floor price.
Early the next morning, I turned on the computer to check my portfolio as usual. Good guy, the market performance is nothing, and the Twitter notification alert surprised me. Overnight, my twitter, which no one has responded to for thousands of years (the only fans I have is a little gift from my buddy when I bought the airdrop of paint ==.) gained dozens of followers, all of them with big heads of stick figures, including even Sartoshi himself.
That was the first time I felt that there was "something" in the mfers community, because before that, I also rushed through some other small pictures, and the price of some pictures was higher than that of mfers at that time, but never in social media I haven't received this kind of "magnitude" feedback, nor have I been directly concerned by the founder of any leading pfp project.
Following this "flattering" mood, I began to seriously understand some cores of mfers for the first time, such as CC0, No Roadmap, "Are You Winning Son?" ", #mfersfollowmfers (Twitter mutual follower activity, which is also the key reason for the previous increase in followers) and so on.
Note: Youtube views over 6 million《Are You Winning Son？》, the video and the derived emoticons are one of Sartoshi's sources of inspiration.
During this stage, the floor price of mfers gradually returned to about 0.5 ETH, but I was already fascinated by this series at that time. The price drop did not bring even a trace of panic, but gave me a sense of excitement , so I bought another long-haired mfers with 0.55 ETH, and used it to make a couple portrait for my girlfriend.
In the next few days, my main task is to clear the other NFTs in my hands, gather some bullets and continue to increase the position. Unfortunately, when I gather enough ETH, the floor price of mfers has climbed to more than 1 ETH, so The purchase cost also becomes 1.03 ETH.
In the process of increasing positions, I also kept pushing mfers as the theme, and the following fans also quickly increased to hundreds of people, mfers follow mfers, it can be seen that everyone is having a good time.

Party Time！
Take the domestic WeChat community as an example. Friends here always seem to be full of energy. Some people can dig deep into market data, some can continuously output memes, some can code words to popularize concepts, and some big players can push the floor by themselves. Everyone Party time together in free time, when newcomers come, we will "footdao" to serve together, when it rises, we stare at the floor together, when it falls, we count how much Pranksy has left, we can only smash the order, and if we want to place an order, we will place 420.69 together...
One of the things that impressed me deeply was that one night a group of friends’ wallet was stolen, and the hacker took away all the ETH in the wallet, but they have not yet attacked NFT including mfers. In order to prevent the loss from expanding, everyone Make suggestions collectively, and even offer gas to help that friend transfer NFT, mfers help mfers, which is also a very common mfers-related tag on Twitter.
Overseas communities are equally lively. Some people write songs for mfers, some go to Times Square to pull advertisements, some rent drones to take mfers to the sky, and a macho tattoos his mfers to the root of his thigh. Of course, the most common one is There are various web2 me vs web3 me comparison charts flying all over the sky.
There are all kinds of things. Although there are differences in expression methods, mfers at home and abroad are using their actual actions to convey the happiness they feel on mfers. As Sartoshi said mfers do what we want, mfers are doing whatever they want.
By the way, I have to mention that there are various mfers derived NFTs, and I have mint some myself. In the field of NFT, derivative projects can play the role of a moat for native projects to a certain extent, so I don’t have any repulsive emotions, but I personally suggest that everyone try to be cautious. Of course, you can invest a little bit if you like it. Don't get carried away by fomo emotions.
It was probably around this time that Sartoshi posted his article《what are mfers》, Many contents in the article arouse the resonance of me as a mfer, such as "mfers do what we want" - whether to change the avatar, buy or sell is everyone's freedom, no one should use their own ruler to criticize others ; Another example is "I know that Mfers has some unofficial communities, but I just don't go" - mfers are not under the leadership of Sartoshi, each mfer is their own master; Painting? Haha, cheers mfer~"——who doesn't know? But who cares?
I was so touched, so I used almost all the ETH left in my wallet to buy mfers, the 3D glasses I had wanted for a long time, and the price was 4.15 ETH.
So far, I have finished the story of buying Mfers for the time being. Although it is not ruled out to continue to increase positions in the future (of course, it may be reduced or exchanged positions), but in the short term, the possibility should not be great. There is no way, I still have to support my family Oh.
To be honest, although I thought about writing something about mfers a long time ago, this idea was slowly dispelled after Sartoshi's article was published. The reason why I am thinking about writing something now is because too many friends have come to ask why they are so optimistic about mfers.
I have thought about this question for a long time, but I have not been able to give a satisfactory answer. At the end of the day, after thinking about it, I finally realized that I am not optimistic about mfers out of rational logic, but out of emotional liking I chose mfers!
If we look back at the success of mfers from the present moment, we can find some logical explanations, such as the imaginative space of CC0, the fit of no roadmap and the spirit of Web3.0, the meme charm of the founder, etc., but in my heart The most dreamy interpretation is Sartoshi's phrase "Sow a seed and let it grow wildly".

#make memes not war
The reason for this, in my opinion, is that each mfer is a subject with self-awareness, they can constantly express their ideas outward, and when these ideas are received and recognized by other mfers, they will gradually become one. Share consensus and eventually become the voice of the mfers community.
It is also for this reason that mfers has become a dynamic and living project. Every new mfer added, every new meme born, even every morning gmfer, becomes the nutrient that nurtures this seed, allowing mfers to continue to grow.
Of course, no one knows what mfers will eventually grow into. I neither dare to conclude nor have the qualifications to guarantee that mfers will develop in a good direction in the future. To a certain extent, freedom also represents the unknown. I understand that some friends are worried that the barbaric growth of mfers will gradually get out of control like Pepe (contaminated with alt-right color), but as far as my personal perception is concerned, what I see on mfers at this stage What I get is more of a positive and positive awareness of unity, care, peace, and equality, so I am willing to witness this story of free growth with more mfers.
The above is my personal story with mfers.
Some friends may question that this is nothing more than a "false prosperity" under a unilateral upward market. I have no way to refute, because I did not experience the days when mfers plummeted below 0.1 ETH before. I don’t know whether I should feel lucky or regretful about it. Fortunately, I entered the stage when the community atmosphere was the happiest Unfortunately, there is no way to directly observe the community sentiment under different market conditions, nor can we witness how mfers got out of the bottom.
Finally, I would like to say a little more. Although the original intention of writing this article is not to shout for mfers, but as a mfer, I certainly hope that more people can understand and participate in mfers, but it needs to be emphasized Yes, NFT is a very immature industry, the value system is still not perfect, and romantic stories often have the possibility of instant disillusionment. Please think twice before making investment decisions and do what you can.
