Brothers, it's 2025 already! Are you still spending your days studying candlestick charts, chasing trends, and waiting to get rich quick? Give me a break. That's just noise for retail investors. I recently did something really "craftsman-like"—no watching the market, no going all in, just watching the data stream from the APRO oracle, I casually built a little robot, and this week's net profit was just enough for a nice meal. Not much money, but it tasted great! Because this money comes from "information asymmetry," "speed difference," that fraction of a second faster than the market.
The market today is no longer the chaotic era of Bitcoin's rise and everyone's celebrating. Look at it now, BTC Layer 2 and various high-performance chains are everywhere, liquidity is like shattered glass, splattered everywhere. Money is scattered across thousands of liquidity pools. Now, what's the competition? Who can know faster and more accurately which pool is "cheaper" for the same Bitcoin?
Many people think oracles are just cold, impersonal price quotes. Then you're really out of the loop. Take APRO, which I use, for example. These days, it's more like a "high-speed satellite reconnaissance system" for the blockchain world. Old-fashioned oracles (pull mode) are "you ask, I answer"—if the network gets congested, the price has already changed, and by the time you get the data, it's too late. APRO, on the other hand, is "proactively pushing" data. It's like having a live stream channel for you in a chaotic battlefield, with zero latency. That advantage of a few tens of milliseconds is enough for me to "get ahead" of many general-purpose bots.
My strategy is incredibly rudimentary, but effective: I have the bot constantly monitor the prices of various Bitcoin "shadow assets" (such as WBTC, BTCB, and various L2-based wrapped coins) provided by APRO on different DEXs. APRO has the advantage that its prices aren't just randomly generated; it instantly aggregates data from a bunch of exchanges and on-chain pools worldwide to calculate what it considers the most "fair" price. My bot does only one thing: when it detects that the actual trading price in a small pool deviates from APRO's "fair price" by more than 0.3% (don't underestimate this, it's enough to make a living), it immediately rushes in to buy low and sell high.
Why can you still make money with such a primitive method in 2025? Because of "liquidity laziness." Although there are many tools available now, many emerging L2 and niche DeFi protocols don't update their prices very sensitively, and their algorithms have loopholes. This leaves fleeting "price gaps," and my bot is like a precise sewing needle, specifically designed to sew up these gaps.
This week, BTC fluctuated around $90,000, which is exactly the comfort zone for this strategy. My little tool automatically executed 142 trades, succeeding in 125, a win rate of nearly 90%. The profit per trade is as thin as a piece of paper, but its frequent execution adds up, and eventually, it covers your living expenses.
Of course, there are many pitfalls along the way, so don't just look at the tempting offer:
"Sandwich" warning: Once your arbitrage order is placed, if it goes through a public node, it will most likely be detected by professional bots that will buy in early, driving up the price. They'll then sell it to you after you've bought it, leaving you sandwiched in the middle. Therefore, private RPC nodes are a lifesaver. Data drift risk: Even the best oracles aren't infallible. If the underlying data source experiences an extreme problem (like an exchange being suddenly dumped), the "fair price" calculated by APRO may be temporarily distorted. If the bot is stubborn, it might repeatedly fall into traps. Therefore, strict stop-loss and abnormal pause logic must be set.
A sincere piece of advice for those who want to try it out: Don't get involved in mainstream trading pairs (like ETH/USDT). They're full of heavily armed institutional bots; you'll just be throwing your life away. Look at the assets on emerging chains and protocols in APRO data; there's still information advantage there. Web3 has long passed its pioneering phase, where simply throwing money at it could lead to rapid growth; it has entered a phase of meticulous cultivation and efficiency. Companies like APRO, which provide top-tier data infrastructure, are like specialized screwdrivers for us "craftsmen."
So, stop fantasizing about instant success. The market in 2025 won't reward gamblers, but those who can use more sophisticated tools and more meticulous thinking to carve out a niche in market efficiency. My food expenses this week are a small badge of honor awarded to me, this "craftsman," by the market. It's much more reassuring than riding a rollercoaster and watching the market.
