The large-scale airdrop of MapleStory has undoubtedly reignited the sluggish hair-pulling track, especially the enthusiasm for the oil refining track!

Today, I came across many bloggers promoting other oil refining projects, and I started to ponder a question: why can't we explore some temporarily unpopular projects that have huge development potential and a good IP narrative background, and position ourselves in advance?

There are at least two benefits to doing so:

1️⃣ Avoiding the crowd. Fewer people mean that as long as you bet on the right horse, the returns are high! Unlike some popular projects where everyone rushes in, working hard to complete a bunch of tasks, only to end up with a mess at TGE, here I would like to name some projects led by @LineaBuild!

2️⃣ Improving your independent investment research ability. Following the crowd to do projects may seem like hard work, but in reality, your understanding of the crypto space doesn't deepen as a result. You keep doing project after project, but your skills don’t improve. So even if one day an opportunity arises, you definitely won't be able to seize it!

People often have this mentality:

Doing projects by following the crowd can alleviate internal anxiety. Why? Because even if you get burned, you can still join everyone in criticizing the project team.

On the other hand, those willing to research and engage in unpopular tracks often face self-doubt, asking themselves, “Will the project I’m investing in really yield results? But no one else is playing it,” or “If I fail, won't I be laughed at by my peers?” In such situations, staying true to your choices really requires a strong mindset!

Above are my personal thoughts.
