A Proactive Approach to the Anxious Hodler’s Club

Clarifying what the Anxious Hodler’s Club is

Lately, we’re surrounded by a flood of information, and sometimes it feels like we’ve become an “Anxious Hodler’s Club” trying to protect real communication. With growing interest in Web3 and NFTs, I want to stress how important it is to set some kind of criteria so we don’t get overwhelmed by information overload.

At the same time, we may try to avoid the flood of information, only to end up isolated or boxed in. To deal with the deluge, we need to filter information appropriately and extract only what truly matters.

We also need to develop new technologies and tools—and look for new ways to absorb the flood of information. For example, AI-powered information filtering or information preservation systems built on blockchain. Building such tools and exploring new methods is, I believe, essential.

In short, to cope with the information deluge, we should develop new technologies and tools and search for new ways to process what’s pouring in. The key is to filter appropriately and extract only the important parts.

As outlined above, to cope with the information flood, we need to develop new technologies and tools and search for new ways to absorb it. We can respond to the deluge by filtering information properly and extracting what matters—while continuing to explore better methods through thoughtful experimentation.

Historical background of the Anxious Hodler’s Club

The Anxious Hodler’s Club values setting some kind of criteria as an important step to avoid being overwhelmed by information overload. To set those criteria, however, we also need to understand the historical background.

In the world of punk music, Dillinger Four formed in 1994. At the time, the punk scene was changing rapidly—under the shadow of “green cards” and shifting social conditions. They helped shape a new generation of punk while exploring fresh musical possibilities.

Later, their songs became popular worldwide and the punk scene gained broader recognition. But popularity also came with confusion and noise—an overload of signals. In response, they kept pushing new possibilities and crafted new styles to navigate that environment.

In this way, the Anxious Hodler’s Club can be understood as a way of perceiving information through historical context. Still, to set meaningful criteria, we need to gather more information and interpret it carefully.

Information Excess and Information Scarcity

Information excess is a problem in the punk scene as well. When there is too much information, it becomes difficult to grasp what’s real—and some of it may differ from the truth.

On the other hand, information scarcity is a different problem. When there isn’t enough information, we can’t capture what’s important. And sometimes the information might exist, but be hard to find.

The Future of the Anxious Hodler’s Club

The Anxious Hodler’s Club will likely continue to play a major role in the punk scene going forward. They will explore new musical possibilities, create new styles, and set new criteria for dealing with information overload.

But that future also includes challenges. To keep playing a meaningful role, they must keep exploring new possibilities and building new styles—while continuously updating their criteria to cope with the flood of information.

Closing

The Anxious Hodler’s Club will likely continue to play a major role in the punk scene going forward. They will explore new musical possibilities, create new styles, and set new criteria for dealing with information overload. At the same time, their future includes challenges that require ongoing creativity, experimentation, and honest self-critique.

The Anxious Hodler’s Club and Technology / Network Society

In modern society, the explosive growth of information is dramatically transforming our lives. Especially as new technologies like Web3 and NFTs spread rapidly, it’s crucial to set some kind of criteria as an important step so we don’t get overwhelmed by information overload.

Meanwhile, the Anxious Hodler’s Club carries a conflict between faith and market forces, and also a sense of caution toward new technologies. Their worldview and claims, as suggested by the track “Rahab Punkaholic Girls,” revolve around respect for freedom and individuality, and social transformation through the power of music.

Still, to avoid being overwhelmed, we need to deepen our understanding and evaluation of new technologies. As Web3 and NFTs spread rapidly, establishing criteria that raise the quality of the information we rely on becomes even more important.

So, as a way to resolve the friction between the Anxious Hodler’s Club and the networked society, we propose deepening understanding and evaluation of new technologies. Concretely, by setting criteria that improve information quality, we can better navigate the conflict between faith and market forces.

We also propose the same approach as a solution to the challenges the Anxious Hodler’s Club faces: by setting criteria that improve information quality, we can better navigate the conflict between faith and market forces.

Finally, to ease the friction between the Anxious Hodler’s Club and the networked society, we again propose deepening understanding and evaluation of new technologies. By establishing criteria that raise information quality, we can navigate the conflict between faith and market forces more constructively.

As described above, we propose deepening understanding and evaluation of new technologies to resolve the friction between the Anxious Hodler’s Club and the networked society.

Risks and contradictions the Anxious Hodler’s Club contains

The Anxious Hodler’s Club tries to protect genuine communication by filtering out information. However, this approach comes with risks and contradictions. In this section, we discuss those risks and contradictions.

First, when the Club filters information to protect “real communication,” it inevitably introduces bias based on what gets selected and what gets filtered out. That bias can lead to distortion, imbalance, or missing context.

It can also result in restricting or suppressing communication. If information is screened too heavily, genuine communication may not happen at all. In other words, by trying to protect communication through filtering, the Club may unintentionally limit the very communication it hopes to preserve.

As shown above, the risks and contradictions involved are complex and multi-layered. Because filtering introduces bias and may constrain communication, this approach may fail to solve problems—and could create new ones.

How to engage with the Anxious Hodler’s Club and practical steps

As interest in Web3 and NFTs grows, it’s important to set criteria so we don’t get overwhelmed by information overload. In a world exposed to a flood of information, it can feel like the number of “Anxious Hodler’s Clubs” is increasing—trying to protect genuine communication by filtering out information.

At the same time, this situation highlights the importance of sharing information and communicating. By sharing information and having real conversations, we can practice healthier ways of engaging with the Anxious Hodler’s Club. These efforts also include technical elements such as Web3 and NFTs.

However, to put this into practice, we need concrete plans and guidelines—beyond simply valuing communication. Such plans can include steps to encourage healthy information sharing and specific procedures for engaging in a grounded way.

We also need clear indicators and evaluation criteria. These can include goals for improving information sharing and communication, as well as targets for practicing more constructive engagement with the Club.

In summary, this section discussed practical ways of engaging with the Anxious Hodler’s Club. Alongside the importance of information sharing and communication, we need concrete plans, guidelines, and measurable criteria—while acknowledging the role of new technical elements in how we connect.

The Anxious Hodler’s Club going forward—and us

This article argues that setting criteria is important so we don’t get overwhelmed by information overload as interest in Web3 and NFTs grows. One recent trend is the emergence of new economic systems built on cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. But in this new world, the amount of information has grown so much that many of us have become “Anxious Hodler’s Clubs.”

In this situation, we need to think about what we should do. First, we need to respond to those who try to protect “real communication” by filtering out information. Such groups propose new economic systems and business models based on crypto. However, we should also examine their claims critically and recognize the risks of protecting communication through aggressive filtering.

We also need to engage with proposals for new economic systems and crypto-based business models without surrendering our judgment. That means questioning claims, evaluating evidence, and recognizing when “filtering” becomes a substitute for genuine communication.

As described above, we need ways to engage with the Anxious Hodler’s Club. They propose new economic systems and business models, but we should remain critical, recognize the risks of over-filtering, and aim for communication that is both honest and resilient.

As described above, we need ways to engage with the Anxious Hodler’s Club. They propose new economic systems and business models, but we should remain critical, recognize the risks of over-filtering, and try to rebuild genuine communication rather than simply shutting information out.
