Daily Virtual @virtuals_io Review

Yesterday's points also unexpectedly decreased, but Kaito's Yapers ranking rose by 3 places, currently ranking 46th on the 30D list. Yesterday, Yapping accumulated a total of 10,291 points, fortunately stabilizing above 10,000 points. Recently, the growth rate of new Yappers has been quite rapid, and quite a few have come to me to share good news.

Personally, I feel quite good, after all, water can carry a boat and it can also capsize it.

Currently, the state of Virtual is like a "besieged city", with people outside wanting to come in and people inside wanting to go out.

People outside: The biggest factor affecting them is us talkers. Every day, there's an overwhelming amount of virtual articles, from beginner guides, daily reviews, project analyses to advanced tutorials. Especially when showcasing results, it can be dozens of times more frequent for some. It makes people itch with excitement, but they also wonder if it’s too late to participate now, since most users have already obtained the so-called results to some extent. Although it’s all paper wealth before the yellow lock, the daily accumulation of points and the growth of token prices after fundraising ends allows anyone who gets on board to feel the positive feedback from the project. However, the requirements for capability have also risen significantly, with more and more “scam” projects emerging, and it’s very likely to choose wrongly due to “information asymmetry”. Initially, mindless investment paid more attention to multiples; where there are people, there are rivers and lakes; where there is enthusiasm, there are high multiples. Eventually, it evolved to not just use over-subscription multiples as the sole indicator, but to refine it to the ratio of returns after the project investment. Up to now, it’s all about researching first before getting in, and the overall ecosystem is becoming increasingly mature. Various channels for earning points are emerging endlessly, and the results obtained through different operational methods under the same financial conditions can vary significantly. We have basically transitioned from the first stage of endless dividends to the second stage of “intelligent competition”.

People inside: The biggest factor affecting them is the price of Virtual coins. I remember when I first got into Virtual, the coin price had already risen to about 1.5, and I was somewhat unaware. Later, the coin price reached 2.5, and I felt like I was the chosen one. Until today, the coin price returned to 1.8, I feel like it has come but seems not to have arrived. During this price cycle, I have basically only invested in a few projects, spending most of the time waiting! While waiting for points, I studied the projects. For those locked up, two years can basically be considered as returning to zero, making it almost impossible to balance costs or to hedge long-term. More choices for two years feel like a game, an all-in on the principal hoping to recover mining costs. If the project continues strongly later, it will rely on investment to recover costs; if one participates late and barely recovers, then profits can only rely on regular point output & airdrops and the “residual value” two years later. When the coin price drops, the operations and mindset of most people will definitely be affected, with the first reaction definitely being to escape to recover costs.

Personal Insights

Everyone's initial intention to participate in Virtual is definitely to make money, either by investing real funds or by talking and joking like me. Of course, the latter's investment return ratio seems to be the highest at present. From the perspective of project ecosystem development, I really hope that more and more Yapers can harvest more Yapping. After all, hard work should yield rewards, which is only natural. Everyone is quite busy, rejecting PUA, rejecting empty promises, rejecting delayed feedback; after all, everyone is quite busy and needs positive and timely feedback to please themselves. If you don’t want to invest funds or only want to invest a small amount, you must join the talkers' team; it’s never too late to talk. Recently, some have also started to see results. Of course, many who invest real money may have some prejudice against talkers; actually, looking at it from another angle, everyone is just using different methods to build, as the saying goes, those with money contribute money and those with strength contribute strength; community voice/market enthusiasm is also an invisible asset.

I personally use a cyclic operation method more in my talking.

Basically, I talk to earn Yapping points, accumulate points. Find quality projects to all-in, and immediately stake after completing the all-in, calculate the yellow lock time, remove the stake in advance, sell tokens during the yellow lock period, exchange tokens for Virtual while hedging, and carry out short-term staking of Virtual to continuously earn points. Airdrops are used to purchase VADER and balance the hedging costs.

The strategy for investing in Virtual is roughly the same, being aggressive can be changed to a Virtual-based hedge to maintain profit margins, with the balance point being to recover costs outside of the hedging costs. Through multi-account operations, account A sells uniformly while waiting for the TP, and accounts B, C, D can continue to cycle.

Regardless of bull or bear markets, the first essential principle of project investment is to protect the principal, which is very important.
