If you are not optimistic about a coin, you can short it!
I compiled a list of 27 tokens that were launched on Binance, and from the chart, it seems that only 3 ($FORM, $RED, and $LAYER) recorded positive returns, while the other 24 all incurred losses.~
If you invested 1000U in each token, totaling 27000U, you would end up with only 15000U, averaging a loss of -44%. This means that if you went long on the newly launched tokens on Binance, the chances of making money are almost zero, and you would be completely playing the role of a bag holder.~
However, if you do the opposite and choose to short as soon as they launch, the situation is completely different. As the sister said: "If you are not optimistic about a coin, you can short it." The value of this statement is continuously rising 📈 $BTC
2017 was the ICO era, and public fundraising directly replaced VC and PE, so the bull market in 2017-2018 belonged to the OG platform and proxy investment. As long as you grab a share, you can make money.
In 2021, DeFi rose, and the actual market began to diversify and divert. As long as you run fast, you can make money.
At that time, IEO could also negotiate with the project party to release a part of the shares to users, so the general pricing was low when it went online, and buying new instead of old was also a typical feature of this period.
But now IEO is generally considered to have legal risks in most countries, so it can only be airdropped and market-priced, which means that if the circulation is large and the opening price is low, the project will perform relatively steadily, such as BB and Lista, but compared with 21 years, it is still too fast and lacks a sufficient wash process.
The rise in 2024 was initiated by BTC ETF. The smart money in this wave belongs to the king-level projects and Lumao Studio. They love each other and have created a wave of beautiful data together. On the one hand, the project parties can raise more money from VCs (if you observe the top VCs in the market, they are all over a billion US dollars, which will indeed push up the pricing of good projects), and on the other hand, the project parties with money and users are full of confidence. There are millions of users on the chain. It doesn’t matter if they don’t go on a certain platform. There are many CEXs to go on. If there is no CEX, there are still DEXs. At worst, there are Dexes on their own chains.
Trading platforms do not have pricing power, so for projects with high valuations, everyone should look at the fundamentals, not just the market value, but also the circulation.
Today, the market has indeed changed again. The fratricide between Lumao Studio and L2 projects has turned into a farce, and the Lumao era may be coming to an end. At present, there are more professional players in both the primary and secondary markets. They have various tools to hedge risks, but they have also expanded the market size. As an ordinary investor, the ICO in 2017, the IEO in 2021, the nesting dolls, and even the 2023 strategy of making money may not be suitable for today's market.
Is it a healthier market if there is a lack of VC investment and fewer project parties? In every cycle, there will be some projects that cross the bull and bear markets, and there are also countless king-level projects that fall on the road. Whether it is web2 or web3, there are very few successful startups, and projects that cross the gap and cross the cycle are even rarer.
Investment is risky, so be cautious when entering the market.
Recently, a friend was using Alpha, saying that you can earn Alpha points while managing finances, and with LP you can also earn some fees, it's simply delightful. There's also a SERAPH trading event where you can share in the prize...
I tried it too! No need to be overly competitive - just a little effort can get you on the leaderboard, and the rewards are quite substantial!

The same investment in Bitcoin but different results~
Here’s a recent share I read about:
When I first invested in Bitcoin, I chose BlackRock's spot ETF—IBIT, which saved me the hassle of cold wallets and allowed me to directly link to the coin's price. Later, I also increased my investment in Semler Scientific (SMLR), a medical technology company that includes Bitcoin on its balance sheet, wanting to try different ways to invest in Bitcoin.
The reality was quite different: 📈 IBIT rose 14% in half a year, slightly beating Bitcoin's 12% 📉 SMLR fell 40% due to a business investigation, and even though it holds Bitcoin, it couldn’t save itself
This experience gave me three reminders:
1|Do you want to participate in the coin price, or are you betting on the company's transformation? 2|How much management fee, safety risk, or leverage pressure can you accept? 3|Bitcoin is inherently volatile, and with company operational variables, the risk can double.
Not every Bitcoin investment method is suitable for everyone. ETFs are the most accessible and stable option, but if you want to play at an advanced level, you need to clearly understand if you can bear the consequences. #btc $BTC
Yesterday, I was chatting with a friend, Since entering Web3, The number of people I know has increased, Twitter, chatting nonstop every day and rushing to get into new projects, But the number of people I can talk to from the heart has actually become fewer.
I found that most people are chasing interests, The exchange of information between each other sometimes feels more like resource matching, Lacking a bit of purity, and more calculation.
And the friends from the original Web2, Cannot understand what you are talking about regarding tokens, gas, farming, on-chain data, Over time, the topics have decreased, and the distance has grown.
Sometimes I wonder, Is it that I have changed, or is this path inherently lonely? But you are still walking on this chain, While reminiscing about past relationships, you continue to believe in future possibilities.
He only used 500,000 $USDT to successfully purchase 3.3 million $NXPC at a price of $0.152! This batch of chips was worth as much as 12.9 million dollars at its peak.
Although he didn't sell at the top, he acted quickly, clearing out all $NXPC and ultimately still made a solid profit of about 3.8 million dollars!
How did he do it?
He used:
