Don't think you can do everything just because you just got in!

A simple idea: first try the latest gameplay, preferably on-chain.

Why?

In the secondary market, this old gameplay has been around for many years and several cycles; the veterans and institutions are already very familiar with it. You have no advantage, and entering is just a game against them.

Even if you make a profit at the beginning, it’s mostly luck, and you’ll have to pay it back sooner or later.

On-chain gameplay iterates every so often:

DeFi 1.0 in 2020

DeFi 2.0 in 2021

BRC20 inscriptions in 2023

Golden Dog on Solana chain in 2023

From BTC ecosystem to Solana Meme

Each version has its 'child version', meaning new gameplay gives new players more opportunities.

Once you get familiar with a new gameplay, you can slowly expand your skill set, or just stick with what you understand and keep playing.
