Lighter really didn't have any surprises this time; sticking to the end still paid off. But compared to the dydx wave, my mindset was much calmer this time—less of a gambling mentality. The current strategy is very simple: as long as each project can earn enough for food and drink freedom, that's enough. In fact, the lower the bottom-line expectations, the greater the surprise😏



After chatting with a few friends, we found a consensus: we truly like those niche projects with pure bloodlines. No private placements, no sensational stories, no complicated personnel issues. These types of projects are often underestimated by the market, making them more likely to produce dark horses.

Ultimately, the most important thing in investing is passion. As long as you genuinely like something, you can stay excited no matter how you play, and that’s how you can persist. This might be the key to surviving long-term in the crypto market.

It has proven that the protocol architecture of niche projects is actually more pure... Without the noise of fundraising games, you can truly see the essence of the technology.

I can understand this change in mindset—from sulking to going with the flow, the realm truly has elevated.

Freedom to eat and drink is enough to satisfy, this mindset has indeed changed. Much more rational than the dydx wave. Obscure purebred projects are truly genuine; those that are buried are actually more likely to take off. Passion is the capital for survival; without it, you won't last long in this game.

Mindset is indeed the key; once you've earned enough for food and drinks, withdraw😂 Learn from the lessons Underdog small caps are the real deal; no one cares, and that's where the biggest gains are

Obscure purebred projects are really more likely to produce dark horses; the market just loves things that are incredibly low-key.

Obscure projects are indeed more likely to turn around; the key is to find those that haven't been contaminated by capital.

Cautiously bearish, but Lighter's recent move does have some substance. However, don't be fooled by surprises at the bottom; the big players love to play this game. Niche projects without private placements? Brother, are you sure you're not being cut by information asymmetry? I've seen too many pure-blood projects end up as traps. Investing is about passion? That's something you say when you've won big. When you're losing, who still loves it? The goal of freedom to eat and drink is realistic, but the key is whether you can survive until that day. This market screens players every day. Honestly, those who dare to hold on at the bottom are true warriors, but most are just pitiful creatures with no money to cut losses.
