Since Aibox officially announced its launch, I have been waiting a long time for them to formally release assets. Finally, they announced that the first asset on the platform will be launched in the next few days. Based on my understanding of Aibox team’s past behavior, they are really very simple and straightforward; they just aggressively drive up prices, create a wealth effect that goes viral, and then bring in a huge offline network for deposits, turning it into a super casino. They use the profits to occasionally pump some leading projects, creating a cycle to stimulate the market.
Therefore, the best gaming strategy for participating in the early issuance of Aibox assets is to set a multiple that you can accept, and buy recklessly below that multiple (for example, within 20 times). For each newly issued project, rush in to grab 1 to 10 sol at the first moment, depending on your preference. If the set multiple is too low and you can’t buy, then you just have to accept your fate, after all, success depends on people, while wealth is determined by fate.
Aibox can roughly be considered the overseas version of ibox’s Ai + meme. It supports on-chain deposits and is similar to moonshot with support for fiat and credit card deposits (which is very popular among older users). At the time when ibox started in the NFT market, which was already declining, it surprisingly turned the almost abandoned digital collections (which I think are a neutered version of NFTs) into a domestic 'sunrise industry,' gaining over five million users in half a year and launching a batch of projects with tenfold increases. I remember the Dunhuang Feitian series even got reported by official media. I personally missed the entire explosive period of ibox back then, thinking that even dog collectors weren’t interested in digital collections. As a result, while I held onto NFTs that sank without a trace, I watched the digital collections on ibox skyrocket. This is a classic case of dying from prejudice.
After ibox became overly popular and was interfered with by domestic 'window guidance,' it has returned to 'calm' over the past two years. Therefore, this time, Aibox combines the two narratives of AI and meme for a strong comeback, and I absolutely cannot afford to be negligent this time.
The strength of the ibox team has never been about creating new concepts (ai + meme is certainly not new in the first-tier crypto circle) but rather about gathering a massive user base. They can be described as the 'Pinduoduo' of the crypto world! Here they come again! The name of the drug is different, but the formula is the same, and even more intense. This time it's a simultaneous launch both overseas and domestically, likely to be wilder and more aggressive!
Later, I seemed to understand their operational logic. First, they need a market-validated successful mature model. Ai and meme are proven successful and mature. Second, they find the core driving logic based on the successful model. For example, what is the core logic of meme? (Culture + community/interactions + wealth effect). What is the core logic of on-chain Ai? (Concept + application/framework + wealth effect). Third, they do not compete with first- and second-tier players; they focus on a massive user base. It doesn’t matter if pure on-chain first- and second-tier players run fast; I use validated mature strategies to target the vast user base in the third to eighth tiers. Isn’t this Tencent's typical 'latecomer advantage' strategy?
It’s important to know that information has a time lag in dissemination. When first- and second-tier players are already experiencing aesthetic fatigue, aibox will start bringing in massive users to create a stir. At this point, the so-called high-end players from the first and second tiers often look down on it and miss out on this cross-industry opportunity, which is the fundamental reason why I missed the explosive opportunity with ibox last time. In fact, the true strategy for first- and second-tier players at this time should be to dive back in because the user attributes of ibox will make the PVP attributes of early projects not so high. After all, many of ibox's initial offline users were only taught to buy, not to sell, haha.
Furthermore, unlike the crypto circle’s Ai concepts that run fast, where products are delayed and don’t keep up, and boasting leads to eventual failures, Aibox’s ai + meme is basically already operationalized. Ai creation, Ai project launches, video content creation + social interactions, and meme launches are all functional products. These are multi-functional 'high-end goods' that are well-received and easily understood by users in the third to eighth tiers. The official accompanying image below summarizes the functions of version 1.0, and I won’t elaborate further.
Actually, if the first- and second-tier users take a serious look at the products and features they have released, they are indeed quite appealing. For the token issuance groups, this is also very friendly, after all, the user base of aibox is large! The straightforward style of the Chinese team, using mature business and technical frameworks to create applications and build a user base, drives down costs and plays the game, ultimately outperforming similar products in Europe and America. Just look at gmgn and several major exchanges, and you will understand. The same goes for other industries; the West can lead by a margin, but once the Chinese catch up and start competing, it becomes an internal derby, leaving Europeans and Americans stunned. Ahem, a bit off track there.
Looking back at the few targets issued on the sixth day of the new year, to be honest, I also can’t understand which one is better, nor do I know which will be pumped by the market makers. The best strategy is to allocate some positions to all of them. Based on ibox’s performance from back then, I wouldn’t be surprised if any of the early issued assets see increases of over a thousand times. Back in the day, the ibox team made a small fortune of tens of billions RMB from transaction fees; now, using a portion of that for a grand opening celebration and heating up the market logically shouldn’t have any issues.
Moreover, as a platform aiming to become a leading on-chain exchange and an Ai + meme tool platform, there’s no problem in allowing users to make some money. Most of the users who make money won’t exit the market; what they truly fear is that no one comes at all. They should understand this very well, so they will definitely create a viral surge. With a wealthy and experienced ibox technical team, along with the support of chain up and Certik, the top safety technology brands, the technical security aspect should also be solid.
Aside from this batch of projects that were launched at the beginning of the year, based on experience, compared to pump fun, this wave of Aibox will have at least a six-month bonus period, and the certainty will definitely decrease as time goes on. Many who played ibox early on made millions or even tens of millions of RMB, so if you want to dive in, you have to do it early; otherwise, you'll miss out on the gains and end up with regrets.
