In the crypto world, there exists a near 'faith' bias: only coins mined through high computing power, over long periods, and at high costs are deemed 'hard currency'; while coins obtained through mobile mining or airdrops are seen as cheap or even 'air.' However, this notion confuses the essence of value with the appearance of acquisition methods, forgetting the original spirit of blockchain. Looking back at Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper, the greatness of Bitcoin lies not in how much electricity it consumes, but in the decentralized system it constructs that requires no trust, allows free participation, and resists censorship. Mining is merely a means to achieve consensus, not the source of value itself. Today, technological evolution has brought multiple distribution mechanisms; whether it is PoW, PoS, airdrops, or lightweight mobile mining, as long as they are reasonably designed, transparently operated, and sufficiently secure, they should not be dismissed outright. We can liken it to picking apples: artificially increasing difficulty demands you first squat, stand on your head for ten minutes, and then climb mountains to barely touch the fruit; while other projects are cleverly designed so that one can easily reach out and touch it. But what is the result? An apple is still an apple; its nutrition does not multiply because the process is tortuous. Unfortunately, many traditional crypto enthusiasts have long regarded 'pain cost' as 'value endorsement,' treating difficulty itself as justice, forgetting the mission of technology: the innovation and progress of technology have always been about lowering barriers, not worshiping complexity and difficulty. Zhuangzi said: 'The way is obstructed and long, but if you walk, you will arrive.' If mobile mining can meet standards of decentralization, security, and fairness, then it itself is a path to 'arrival.' What truly deserves respect is not how much sweat you have shed on the chain, but whether this chain can carry the trust and freedom of millions.
Technology is meant to serve people, not to create elite barriers. A true public chain is not about whether participants possess high-performance mining machines, but whether it can, like a spring breeze and gentle rain, nourish silently—allowing ordinary people to have a place in a world without power and capital monopolies.
Therefore, please do not deny the value of a project by saying 'you are not mining hard enough.' The future of blockchain does not belong to the monopolistic miners who cling to the old ways, but to those builders who dare to embrace openness, fairness, and technological innovation.
