Humans are inherently selfish.
Pursuing benefits, avoiding harm, seeking certainty, and chasing returns—
this is an instinct written in our genes.
But truly interesting things happen when people begin to be willing to invest in "delayed returns."
Kurumi's community consensus is built on this subtle shift.
Some create oil paintings,
not because they can immediately exchange them for profit;
some write long stories,
not because they will be rewarded by the market in the short term;
some participate in activities, spread content, and spend time,
not because they are required to,
but because they resonate with the symbol itself.
Starting from selfish genes,
people will only ask:
"What can I get?"
But when a meme starts to make people willing to ask:
"If I participate, will it become better?"
At that moment,
it is no longer just a transaction object,
but a carrier of consensus.
A truly powerful community does not eliminate selfishness,
but allows selfishness and a shared vision to move forward in the same direction.
This is precisely what is happening with $KURUMI.
