Market Maker Story 1
Seven years ago, I collaborated with a market maker. At that time, I was new to the industry and knew nothing. I had friends introduce a few companies and contacted the more mainstream market makers. Later, I chose the one that was willing to explain things clearly. Initially, we didn't start collaborating but paid a consulting fee of 1 BTC per month, calling to ask questions. After two months, right before the launch, we finally finalized a cooperation plan of 300 ETH + profit sharing and got started. But soon after, the market took a sharp downturn, market sentiment disappeared, and the team didn't have the capability to monitor all trades or potential insider trading. The token only held strong for a few days after launch. This market maker was full of financial jargon and seemed very wealthy and savvy every time we met. The next time we met was five years later.
Market Maker Story 2
Back then, I got to know a friend in the circle, who was also a co-founder of a well-known market maker. Initially, there wasn't much business, but as the industry center moved south, they began to recruit and gradually grew stronger in the market. With increasing fame and business, supplemented by dual operations of investment + market making, along with a bull market, they made a lot of big money. One creative aspect was that they turned liquidity services into a SaaS model, directly creating a system and frontend for project parties to configure and use themselves, which was very thoughtful. Later, due to some reasons involving a project, the business was halted.
Market Maker Story 3
Also from a well-known market maker, during a market situation at a bear market's tail, they collaborated with a well-known mainstream project with a high educational background from a major exchange. A few days after the project launched, the token price fell amid fluctuations. It is said that the market maker's employee responsible for this urged their boss and surrounding personnel to buy a lot, while they and a related party from the project sold a lot, completing an arbitrage of tens of millions of USD. However, others in the market, including their boss, lost money, which enraged the exchange.
Market Maker Story 4
This story is still about an employee of a well-known market maker in Beijing.
At that time, there were three major centers in Beijing: the trading center in Shangdi, the office center in Wangjing, and the communication center in Sanlitun.
It is well known that the meeting place for market discussions is Unico bar, and the work check-in place for Beijing BDs is Gongti MIX nightclub.
At that time, if a BD didn't post seven consecutive party photos in their circle of friends within seven working days, they might not be a qualified BD.
I guess that's why I ended up unemployed.
During a KTV session, there were many handsome guys and beautiful girls from the circle present. This guy got drunk and started boasting wildly.
To what extent? He directly started counting the girls he had slept with on the spot, apparently more than ten, naming and commenting on each one.
The problem is, there were several girls present too.
So the other guys rushed in, controlling his limbs. You know, a drunk person has a lot of strength, some covered their mouths.
This didn't stop him from continuing to brag, and the story spread from then on.
What can I say, it's better to drink less and be mindful of the occasion
