Once it was annoying:

1. Being impersonated by others to speak and having their actions critiqued.

2. Being quoted out of context, with just one or two sentences taken out to point fingers at.

In the past, too much time and energy were wasted on meaningless matters.

Now I understand that even if I analyze myself thoroughly, many people will only believe what they want to believe.

It’s better to be a bit more straightforward, a bit more blunt, and never engage in internal strife!

Regarding the current trend of ‘毛’ (Lu Mao), I think from a personal player’s perspective:

1️⃣ Testnet

For 'purely manual' players, investing time and energy in the testnet seems to be of little significance.

2️⃣ Alpha

The phase of making money has already passed; not participating in trading competitions holds little meaning. Simply grinding for 15 days | earning 15-17 points a day, you’re still losing about 35-50U, might as well take that money to the mainnet.

3️⃣ Focus on current hot topics

From the Defi craze to the L1 testnet craze, to the L2s craze, to the BTC ecosystem craze, to the Sol ecosystem craze, we need to think about where the current hot topics really lie?

* So here’s the question, facing the current hot trend of Perp Dex, is it better to use a loss of 35-50U to achieve a 15-day Alpha profit, or to take that loss and invest in various on-chain Perp Dex for greater returns? Aster will soon reveal the answer!

4️⃣ Social Media - Lu | Airdrop

In the face of lengthy and tedious content, which even the person tweeting might struggle to read, is it to impress the project team? Or is it just self-indulgence?

⭐️ Where are the opportunities for ordinary people?

· I personally believe that each cycle can focus on new public chains; innovate rather than stick to the old!

· Focus on projects with profitability potential!

· Always think about where big money is being invested in the current sector? (What’s hot?)

· It’s time to jump into the Hype ecosystem!
