I don't think people will convert their gold profits into cryptocurrency. It's mainly Chinese banks and the elderly who are buying gold, and unfortunately, I don't think they'll use those profits to buy our wallets.

Safe-haven funds flowed into gold, while aggressive funds flowed into artificial intelligence stocks. Cryptocurrencies, awkwardly caught in the middle, have always been thought to be dead, just before they outperformed all other assets in each market cycle.

We don't want to make a profit, we just want to break even 😭

My approach: 1. Fully commit to "ambient programming." Develop custom apps to supplement the income of bored, wealthy individuals, such as lawyers. 2. Create X accounts. Opportunities are fleeting, but having a fan base can increase your chances of success. 3. Continue to monitor cryptocurrencies and wait patiently.

Last year, my advice to people with limited funds was to create an X account and then farm InfoFi and airdrops. All three have since been nerfed. What advice would you give to someone with limited funds who wants to make a mark in the cryptocurrency space? My advice is: 1. Go all in on virtual programming. Build custom apps for "bored rich people" (like lawyers) to accumulate funds. 2. Create an X account. Opportunities are fleeting, but having a fan base can expand your reach. 3. Focus on cryptocurrency and be patient.

Hyperliquid proved the viability of the perpetual DEX model last year with over $600 billion in trading volume. Aster and Lighter followed suit, experiencing strong market demand after their launch. The next wave has arrived. Most platforms are still ahead of TGE. • @paradex: A perpetual DEX on App Chain powered by Paradigm, with zero fees. 7-day trading volume is approximately $13 billion, 30-day trading volume is approximately $47 billion, and open interest is approximately $800 million. Designed for institutional trading, it features an order book, privacy protection, and Retail Price Improvement (RPI). • @extendedapp: Build-up from the former Revolut team, focusing on capital-efficient margin trading and vault-style strategies. The platform has over $100 million in total value locked (TVL) and stable trading volume. • @edgeX_exchange: A perpetual DEX before TGE, now nearing the top. Cumulative trading volume has reached $650 billion. Mobile-first, order book-based, built on the StarkEx platform. A new season of points rewards with an additional 5% allocation. • @variational_io: A query-based decentralized exchange (DEX) powered by Coinbase Ventures and Dragonfly. Optimized for large trades and emerging markets. Total trading volume approximately $125 billion, daily trading volume approximately $1.3 billion, and open interest approximately $1.1 billion. • @etherealdex: A decentralized exchange (DEX) integrated with Ethena's USDe ecosystem, offering stablecoin annualized yields of approximately 27% and daily trading volume approaching $100 million. • @grvt_io: A hybrid decentralized exchange (DEX) based on zkSync, offering a centralized exchange (CEX)-like user experience and on-chain settlement. Employs a liquidity strategy for assets under management exceeding $8.4 million, with annualized yields ranging from 25% to 31%. The plan is to allocate 22% of the funds to the community. • @cascade_xyz: Aims to become a new decentralized platform for trading cryptocurrencies and traditional assets. Has raised $15 million, but transparency is a concern. • @pacifica_fi: A non-custodial Solana trading-based decentralized exchange (DEX) with a minimalist incentive mechanism. Rewards holdings rather than trading volume. Total Value Locked (TVL) is $43 million, cumulative trading volume exceeds $102 billion, and competition is low. • @nadoHQ: A CLOB-based decentralized exchange (DEX) built by the former Kraken team and running on Kraken's L2 service, Ink. High execution quality, but traffic remains limited (worthy of attention). • @hibachi_xyz: A privacy-first decentralized exchange (DEX) with sub-millisecond execution speeds. Former Citadel/Google team member. $5 million raised, with a cumulative trading volume exceeding $9.5 billion, and generous reward points. • @OstiumLabs: A decentralized exchange supporting native wallet trading of stocks, commodities, and forex, as well as cryptocurrencies. A clear RWA-perps strategy. Raised approximately $23.5 million, focusing on on-chain traditional financial derivatives. • @BullpenFi: The ultra-liquidity ecosystem perp DEX, experimenting with new integrations and features. Currently in a light mining phase, but developing rapidly. Other related names: @reya_xyz, @rails_xyz, @StandX_Official, @Backpack Strategy: Diversify investments across different platforms, maintain delta neutrality as much as possible, and focus on high-volume TGE pre-projects. Please remember that this window of opportunity is time-limited. Once the token is listed, the opportunity will disappear.

Live trading is brutal. 90% of traders lose money. But most people don't know a secret: profitable wallets on Hyperliquid are completely visible. There are free tools that let you clearly see the positions of consistently profitable traders. It's like cheating on a test and always getting a perfect score. Three tools I use: /1 @HyperTracker tracks millions of Hyperliquid wallets and categorizes them by size and profitability. You get: • Live positions of top traders • Liquidation risk across different price ranges • Long-term directional trends I've been building a watchlist of consistently high-performing traders. One pattern keeps recurring: smaller, less profitable wallets tend to be bullish on average. You can interpret it yourself, but I find it helpful in gauging market sentiment. /2 @hypurrdash just released a v2 trading terminal with built-in copy trading functionality. You can mirror up to 3 wallets simultaneously, and the system replicates their net exposure. Some tips: • Filter for swing traders or long-term position holders. • Avoid wallets with excessive holdings. You might inadvertently copy market makers. /3 @trysuper_ offers similar tracking and copy trading features, but with more control: • Filter by whether to go long or short only. • Token whitelist and blacklist. • Copy trading backtester (very useful). Don't blindly imitate. Execution delays mean you can't perfectly replicate profits. I first develop my own trading strategies and then use these tools to validate them or find new ideas. I haven't implemented any automation yet. Currently, I'm just tracking and learning. If you want to test, start small.

Hey, wake up. It's almost the end of 2021. You're still complaining that a 10,000% annualized return isn't enough. You're listening to music on DeFi Kingdoms. Your casual friends are begging you to recommend it. DegenSpartan is very active. In a few more months, with this price movement, you'll be "making a fortune." Life is good.

I remember when I wanted to start a Twitter account. I almost instantly had a name in my head and posted my first tweet in less than an hour. If I had delayed any longer, I would have definitely thought it was a stupid idea. Make the most of your initial enthusiasm.
