牛市老币灯

I have been writing articles for three years.

Zhihu, public accounts, Xiaohongshu, Binance Square...

🔥 I chase trends, ride the wave, and time my actions
📈 When the data is good, the platform ‘limits traffic protection’
📉 When the data is poor, the operations say ‘not enough topic relevance’

💔 It's not that I'm not working hard; I'm just being used as free labor by the platform.

Does the platform really see us as people?

I write hits, and the platform makes money
I write failures, and the platform incurs no loss
I roll out content, titles, covers, and engage in discussions every day

But in the end, ‘data belongs to the platform, value disappears’

I know a friend who writes airdrop notes,

Today is my 681st day in this company.

Clocking in at 9 AM, leaving at 9 PM, and my salary card balance is less than three digits.

The leader said: 'Work hard, there will be rewards at the end of the year.'
I believed it, and the result - I was rated as an 'excellent employee' and received a mug.😐

While holding a thermos to brew goji berries, I quietly opened the ERA task center.

“It's not that I'm not trying, I just want my efforts to be remembered.”

What is ERA?

A platform that records your 'efforts and actions' in Web3.

📌 Every note you write, every task you complete, every interaction you participate in,

The incident happened at 11 PM last night.

I was staring blankly at Notion and the ERA project in front of my computer, struggling to write an article.

She suddenly walked over, snatched my phone, and flipped through the chat history, Xiaohongshu, Weibo, Telegram, Square...

🧨 'You haven't replied to my messages for days, do you have another woman?'
🧨 'You've ignored me for an entire week, what exactly are you doing?'
🧨 'Honestly, are you hanging out with those girls from Caldera?'

I was dumbfounded at that time.
I don't have any women...

👨‍💻 I'm grinding 'Identity Points' on the ERA task platform, writing 'Content Tasks', and doing 'Contribution Tasks'!!

In the past, I also felt like just a speck of dust in the crypto world.

Writing projects, testing networks, claiming airdrops, posting square notes, ranking comments...

But these efforts were forgotten overnight.

The content I posted received no likes.
No one knows about the tests I participated in.
Even after being a tester for 5 months in the DAO, no one gave me tokens...

I even doubt:

Is it only the whales and the tech-savvy who can leave a name in Web3?
Are we 'retail authors' destined to be NPCs?

Until I met ERA.

What did ERA do?

It gave me a chance to 'prove that I lived meaningfully'.

My daily routine is roughly like this:

Check in at 9:00 AM, open the computer, pretentiously look at the PPT
9:15, open Binance, start checking the market
9:30, start relaxing, researching which projects can earn some airdrops

Check the TG community during lunch.
After finishing work in the afternoon, go home and continue to interact and earn points...

But honestly, many of the airdrop projects I've participated in, I don't even remember their names.
After finishing, there were no results, no returns, no records,
It feels like throwing time into a black hole...

It wasn't until I encountered ERA that I realized recording efforts on-chain could also be very easy.

Some time ago, a friend asked me: 'Are you still playing in the crypto circle now?'

I lit a cigarette and said with a wry smile:

'Of course, I want to play... desperately trying to break even.'

You might not believe it, but I am the type who interacted all the way from Dogechain to Blast, ZKsync,
People who have been on airdrop whitelists, filtered out by thresholds, and swallowed by runaway projects.

From 2022 until now, project interactions have made my wallet nearly explode.
What about the earnings? Less than 320 dollars in total, averaging a loss of 13 dollars per project 🤡.

Until recently, I decided not to actively interact anymore.
But instead, it starts 'reverse filtering'—only participating in projects with ERA accounting.

'Can you finish this job tonight with some overtime?'

The boss patted my shoulder again, I smiled and said 'okay', but cursed a thousand times inside.

Every morning the subway is packed like sardines, and at night I browse the crypto circles,
Clicking likes, writing tutorials, helping friends answer questions for newcomers,
To be honest - the most I have done in Web3 these years,
All written in: no one remembers my little efforts.

Until I encountered ERA.

What is ERA? It’s the Web3 version of a 'behavior ledger'

You posted in the Caldera ecosystem today,
You helped review a proposal,

That early morning, I sat in front of my computer, checking my account balance, which was down to 38U.
This is my third attempt at 'failing to get on shore'.
It's not that I didn't try—I completed over a dozen project interactions and participated in various chain task rankings.
I even took out over 300U to do some all-chain NFT plan, and in the end...

❌ No airdrop
❌ Restricted by risk control
❌ Project abandoned

I was completely lost until I met Caldera ERA.

ERA is not a 'quick shooter' project; it is like a 'drip stone' system in Web3.

When I first learned about ERA, I didn't really believe in it.
No coin trading? No high APY? No immediate token distribution?

To be honest, these days, it's really getting harder to rely on 0-cost airdrops.
• I don't have a few thousand U in hand, so I dare not interact;
• New projects often have hundreds of layers of tasks, and you also have to make videos and write code;
• Sometimes, after completing a task seriously, the last airdrop message excludes you: 'Inactive addresses do not count.'

I was about to give up until I encountered Caldera ERA.

A point system that can continuously accumulate points without interaction, without looking at capital, only relying on 'behavior records.'
Has helped me regain a sense of 'solidarity' in Web3.

Brothers, let me share a real experience:
I originally just wanted to casually complete some tasks every day to earn a few airdrop points,
As a result, I accidentally figured out Caldera ERA.

It’s not just an ordinary points system; it’s a 'multi-chain task stacking machine' —
One ERA account can actually earn points across more than a dozen projects!

📌 I did three things in one day, and as a result, my points increased fivefold...

This is too outrageous; I have to elaborate.

That morning, I logged into a certain project (I won’t name it, but it also took on the Caldera task system),
I did a few simple interactions, like following on Twitter, joining a group, filling out a form.

Brothers, are you still competing for LayerZero? Competing for ZKsync?
I'm not competing anymore. Now I just honestly post content, like, comment, and engage with the community.
As a result, Caldera ERA points are skyrocketing every day!

I'm not exaggerating, I now treat ERA points as **“content mining machines”**.
While outputting content and participating in the ecology, points come automatically.
In the future, when Caldera issues tokens or links to airdrops, I might not have to do anything and just collect a bunch of rewards.

🧠 What is Caldera ERA? Why is it an 'invisible gold mine' for content creators?

In simple terms, it is a Web3 version of a 'points aggregation system'.

Only a few friends in the crypto space around me know about this.
Today I am willing to write this down because—
Using Bubblemaps, I personally exposed a fake project and saved my friend's principal.

🧵 The origin of the matter:

One day, an acquaintance sent me a link, asking me to help with interaction.
At a glance, it was a newly launched airdrop project, with a white paper boasting extravagantly.

I didn't think too much, just clicked in, connected my wallet, and interacted with a few buttons.
As a result, the next day, another friend transferred 0.2 ETH in, and the coin went directly to zero.

I then realized I might have stepped on a landmine.

Many people in the crypto space rush to rankings, grab airdrops, and follow trends.
And me? I only do one thing:

Squat on Bubblemaps' graph, find new projects with 'improper structures', and short or arbitrage in advance.

No need for luck, no reliance on news,
I rely on a 'hunting system' that identifies risks through graphs.

🧠 My basic hunting logic is as follows:
1. The Bubblemaps graph will automatically display the holding structure
2. The larger the bubble, the more concentrated the holdings; connecting lines = address interactions/suspected control
3. I watch the new coin launch graphs every day, and as soon as any of the following structures appear, I immediately mark it:

I am not tech-savvy, cannot write scripts, and don't know the project team,
Nor do I know how to handle those strategies of big funds running away.

But there is one thing that changed my fate in the crypto world—
I started using Bubblemaps to check charts and never blindly chased a 'fake hotspot' again.

🪤 The pitfalls I encountered over the years:
• During a certain 'fair launch' project, a bunch of influencers shouted to buy, but the price plummeted by 60% within 5 minutes of launching.
• A low market cap coin shouted by a KOL, just one day in and it faced 'technical upgrades', locked positions, and blacklisted groups.
• Followed the trend and participated in airdrop tasks, interacted several times, and in the end, the community questioned that the project's wallet was all 'linked addresses', no one really issued tokens.

In the past, I only used DEXTools to check coins.
Prices, K-lines, and transaction records are very enjoyable to watch.
But one question always bothers me: "Who is really in control?"

Until I switched to Bubblemaps,
Only then did I understand what the true "on-chain explicit structure" meant.

It felt like—
In the past you used a flashlight to shine on the ground, now you just turn on the X-ray.

🔍 Three common issues I encountered:
1. The coin just launched, and trading suddenly surged, then plummeted → Was it a market manipulation? I can't find any information.
2. A KOL is promoting a hot project, but it feels weird → Did they receive tokens? I can’t see the structure clearly.

At that time, they made it very clear:
"You just need to mix into a few KOL groups, cryptocurrency forums, help us post interaction graphs, and control the comment section."
I took the money and started working.

Everything should have been quiet.
Until a comment I had never noticed nailed me 'to the map'.

🧨 The comments only had one sentence:

"You few addresses are connected, I’ve taken screenshots and archived them, stop pretending."

I was stunned for a moment.

Clicking on that person's account, I can't see the profile picture, can't see tweets, only a link.
I clicked on that link and saw—Bubblemaps.

Once upon a time, I was just like you—
Follow KOLs, engage with interactions, lurk in Telegram group messages, look at TG stickers to guess the inside story.

But later, I was left with only reflection.

I realized:
Web3 gave us freedom, but also exposed our blind spots.

Until I met Bubblemaps,
I finally **'saw the truth', rather than 'hearing others' say the truth'.

🧠 Cognitive leap: In the flood of information, we have lost independent judgment.

We always think we are 'DYOR',
But in reality, we are just reorganizing others' 'narratives'.

We look at K-lines, but do not examine the structure;

The day before yesterday, a project party sent me a message:
"Brother, our new currency is about to be launched. If you rush in early, I will reserve a white-name unit for you."

I said thank you, but mentally opened Bubblemaps.

After looking at the graph, I said, "Brother, don't go online, just save your energy."

Why?
Below is the original words I took a screenshot and sent to the community 👇

🧠 One picture reveals the situation: The project party is "all talk and no action", and the map is fully exposed

Bubblemaps show:
• Top 10 addresses hold 88% of the total
• The top 5 wallets are highly interconnected, with 10 consecutive internal transfers within 3 minutes
• The so-called “community wallet” actually transfers and ships money along with the “private placement address”

Are you still trying to understand the on-chain world with real-world thinking?
Then you've already fallen behind two beats.

In Web3, you have no ID card, no Sesame credit, no diploma certificate,
But you have one thing - wallet behavior records.

And Bubblemaps is exactly that
Make these 'behaviors' become a visualized, structured, verifiable 'identity mirror'.

🧠 Wallet map is the 'identity proof' of the future on-chain world

Do you think you are just an address?
Wrong.

What transactions have you made, who have you interacted with, where does the money come from, where does it go, is the behavior suspicious...

In the past in the crypto world, I was a 'retail investor'.
Now, I am an on-chain intelligence hunter.

I do not chase trends, do not listen to KOLs, and do not randomly collect airdrops,
What I rely on is a 'true skill' of data + maps -
That's the intelligence system Bubblemaps provides me.

🎯 You may not know: Web3 also needs 'detectives'

Web3 is an open world, seemingly transparent, but information is exploding while the structure is extremely poor.
• What is manipulation? It's not just about calls; it's about distorted wallet structures.
• What is a capital pool? It's not just promotional jargon; it's the transfer of holding clusters.
• What is a scam? It's not that you feel it's strange; the data tells you this is a trap.
