▪️ Stop staring at the primary market; it's really not a place for retail investors like us.
Private equity firms get in six months in advance, and their whitelist relies entirely on connections. With our limited capital and social skills, we can’t even touch the threshold.
▪️ But retail investors also have opportunities; it's just a different approach.
We can't compete with capital and resources, so we can only rely on our vision, execution, and patience for 'staking out'.
▪️ The most reliable approach: choose a track and dive deep into it.
Don't try DePIN today and then jump to RWA tomorrow. Skimming the surface will only keep you forever on the road, having done everything but mastering anything.
▪️ Focus on 'actual on-chain actions'; don’t just listen to people bragging.
Look at how many real users are interacting on the project’s chain, which big holders are consistently using it, and whether the TVL is steadily increasing. Don’t let screenshots and jokes set the pace; those things are too easy to fabricate.
▪️ The key is: who is still around, who is still working.
Those who are earning points, participating in governance, and have wallets hanging around for a long time are the ones who truly have confidence in the project. Observing these trends is more precise than listening to 10 KOLs.
▪️ Retail investors can’t afford the primary market but can find their own 'certainty' on-chain.
Slowly accumulate knowledge; the more you see and the longer you follow, the easier it will be to distinguish what's genuinely taking off and what's just a big talk to cut you.
