Prologue: Echoes of a Broken Ideal
Rahab:
“Did you read the Cointelegraph piece? ‘Crypto is not Web 3.0, it’s Capitalism 2.0.’ That single line captures our reality. Web3 was supposed to free us from centralization and build a new social fabric on DAOs and communities. But what’s actually happening? U.S. mega-capital intervenes in the market, and tokens and NFTs have sunk into mere instruments of speculation.”
Moka:
“Is that really where we are? Then for users and creators like us, it means we’re slipping back into a ‘managed world.’ We once hoped for a free and equal network, but the system is being reshaped to serve a handful of major capital players.”
Rachel:
“When speculation rules the market, value disconnects from its essence and turns into illusion—that warning’s as old as markets themselves. Look back: bubbles and busts, over and over. The fact that Web3 is repeating it just shows we didn’t learn from history.”
John:
“That’s exactly why we have to act. Our independent network, ‘PGirlsChain,’ and our native token, ‘PGirls,’ run by Rahab Punkaholic Girls, are an alternative that won’t be swallowed by capital control. It’s a proving ground to realize Web3’s original ideals—rebuilding DAOs and seamless communities.”
Chapter 1: Web3’s Ideals vs. the Shadow of Capitalism 2.0
Rahab:
“Remember: Web3 promised an era where users own what they use. But what’s happening now? U.S. financial institutions are absorbing the crypto market into their portfolio machinery via stablecoins and ETFs. That’s just ‘Capitalism 2.0.’ The very tech meant to liberate our networks is being caged again by capital.”
Moka:
“That hits NFTs and music markets too, right? The model was supposed to let artists reach fans directly. If big exchanges and funds end up deciding ‘value,’ we get the same old extraction. We were expecting a flatter economy.”
Rachel:
“It’s the classic bubble script. From the 1929 crash to the dot-com bubble and the GFC, capital-dominated markets collapse at the expense of the public. We’re replaying the pattern. As long as capital runs the marketplace, ‘democratization’ is an illusion.”
John:
“Exactly. That’s why PGirlsChain puts the DAO at its core. Everyone can participate in decisions. Power isn’t seated at a capital center; the network itself disperses authority. That’s the only route past Capitalism 2.0.”

Comparison Table
| Aspect | Web3 Ideal | Capitalism 2.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | User-driven, DAO-based | Controlled by large institutions |
| Access | Open & decentralized | Gatekept by capital |
| Value Creation | Community and co-creation | Speculation & asset extraction |
| Sustainability | Long-term collective growth | Short-term profit focus |

Chapter 2: Risks and Hopes for Everyday People
Moka:
“What scares me is ordinary people paying the price. Web3 was supposed to be ‘for everyone,’ but those without investment literacy get drawn into capital’s game and lose. Even if you buy an NFT at a high price, coordinated capital can make it worthless in a heartbeat. It’s like our dreams being used against us.”
Rahab:
“You’re right. U.S. mega-capital exploits participants’ ‘fervor.’ They hype it as ‘the new economic era’ while in practice siphoning assets for their own gains. The principles of DAOs and community are discarded.”
Rachel:
“History shows those swept up by speculation meet the same end. ‘Crowds grow foolish in the short run but regain wisdom in the long run.’ In that cycle, only the cool-headed profit. In other words, today’s stage leaves major capital as the sole winner.”
John:
“That’s why our network offers hope. On PGirlsChain, artists and users connect directly and transact via PGirls tokens. The foundation isn’t a ‘speculation game’ but ‘co-creation of value.’ Many small economies that resist capital capture will accumulate into a genuine alternative.”

Trend of Fees vs. Creator Share (Concept)
Key Impacts (At a Glance)
- High volatility exposes newcomers to outsized losses
- Platform fees & gas costs degrade everyday UX
- Speculation obscures the intrinsic value of works
- Liquidity-first mindset accelerates short-termism
Chapter 3: Lessons from History, Warnings for Now
Rahab:
“What Buffett and Graham kept warning about was the ‘trap of speculation.’ Markets often descend into madness, and investors lose composure. Web3 is no different. Even with labels like DAO and NFT, if people get swept up without seeing the essence, capital will exploit them.”
Moka:
“So what should we actually do? How do we get out of capital’s game?”
Rachel:
“‘Build in a margin of safety’—Graham’s advice. Understand the gap between price and value, and refuse to dance to speculative tunes. The true worth of NFTs and tokens isn’t in price swings but in the communities and experiences they create. We can’t forget that.”
John:
“Exactly. PGirlsChain is a mechanism to create that ‘safety margin.’ It steps back from speculative frenzy and produces sustainable value through community. This isn’t just about tech—it’s about choosing the kind of society we want.”
Section 3: Lessons from History & the Speculative Cycle
Speculative Cycle (Conceptual)
Prices often deviate from fundamentals; risk peaks at euphoria.
Margin of Safety Checklist
- Audit the gap between price and value regularly
- Codify rules to avoid short-term hype
- Score community health (participation, discourse, transparency)
- Maintain basics: diversification, horizon, cash buffer
Traditional Markets vs. Speculative Crypto
| Aspect | Traditional Markets | Speculative Crypto |
|---|---|---|
| Disclosure & Audit | Standardized, audited | Uneven, sometimes opaque |
| Price Formation | Fundamentals + supply/demand | Liquidity-driven, social media sway |
| Investor Base | More long-term, institutional | Short-term, leverage-prone |
| Key Risks | Macro, rates, earnings | Smart contract, exchange risk |
Chapter 4: The Future PGirlsChain Opens
Moka:
“What kind of future does PGirlsChain make possible? Can we really be free?”
Rahab:
“Absolutely. PGirlsChain lets artists deliver work directly, with fans supporting them. No one manipulates prices from above. Policies are decided by DAO votes, and transparency is built in.”
Rachel:
“‘Real value is decided by the community’—that’s the worldview. Not a market steered by capital, but value formed by the participants’ own consensus. Traditional markets never truly achieved that.”
John:
“Right—and the key point is, this isn’t mere idealism. It’s already running on PGirlsChain. The PGirls token powers real functions like artist support and access to exclusive content. The future has already begun.”

| Governance | Proposals, voting, quorum, delegation | Transparent & timely decisions |
| Tokenomics | Reward curves, royalties, anti-gaming | Restrain speculation; reward long-term |
| Rights | NFT gating, license expressions | Clarify ownership; prevent misuse |
| UX / Access | Mobile signing, low-gas design | Reduce friction for daily use |
PGirlsChain vs. Centralized Platforms
Finale: Submit to Capital—or Choose Freedom
Rahab:
“We’re at a fork in the road. Will we accept ‘Capitalism 2.0,’ subordinated to capital, or choose a new economy built on DAOs and community?”
Moka:
“For everyday people, that’s a big decision too. Do you remain just a consumer—or help shape the future as a member of the network?”
Rachel:
“Don’t forget history’s lesson. Crowds that dance to speculation always pay a price. That’s why we must grow networks guided by our own values.”
John:
“The conclusion is clear. PGirlsChain and PGirls are countermeasures to Capitalism 2.0 and a signpost toward the future. We’re building an economy of co-created value, not one consumed by speculative fire. Web3’s ideals aren’t dead—they’re only now coming alive in the truest sense.”
Closing (John):
“Readers, the moment of choice has already arrived. Will you follow capital’s shadow, or help shape the future together? The door to PGirlsChain is already open.”
