My starting point for entering the industry was also airdrops, but the current airdrop mode has undergone significant changes. As a crypto trainee with traceable track selection ability and historical records, let me elaborate on what to do next. This article mainly focuses on the core ideas of KOP for small capital players Bullish market picks up hair, bull market speculates on currency "" Golden dog doesn't roll up, big hair doesn't roll up " 😭 The most crucial first is to lower expectations Whether it's second tier, first tier, or airdrop farming similar to first and a half tier, it should be recognized that the crypto industry has entered a bear market in terms of valuation. I have said many times before that "return to common sense". In the case of cold market, the excessive emotional premium will be eliminated from the foam for value return. If we can lower our expectations without being too greedy, that is the foundation for continuing to cultivate in the bear market 👉 The most important thing to understand before grooming is: What is the essence of grooming? -Brushing hair is a primary and semi market participation channel, and its essence is somewhat similar to primary investment -In the current version, airdrop is a marketing tool used by the project team to acquire customers and improve data, in order to achieve its intended purpose -Brushing hair is not necessarily a rewarding thing, it is also an investment that has not even been promised a return by the project party Based on the above three points, you will find that the main group of primary investors in this round - the vast majority of VCs - actually do not make any money, and the pattern of primary investment is bear market investment and bull market harvest In recent years, almost all the simple big hairs in airdrop history have come from bear markets, such as APT ARB， They all came out when the secondary market situation was not so good, and the cost of funds and time for retail investors was not so high, especially for Aptos and even Test Network A8 level big spenders However, the second half of last year was mostly a bull market, and the likelihood of being targeted for first tier investments during a bull market was inevitably high. If one can understand that grooming is essentially a first level investment without a contract, they will find that being rejected may just be the norm Looking back at the timeline of Nillion @ Nillionnetwork, this project raised funds in Q3 of last year and started activities mainly involving retail investors, which coincided with the two most active quarters of the secondary market last year. Now, TGE is the worst time for the secondary environment... Essentially, this is a matter of timing and rhythm 🤔 Finally, what should we do now? -Watch more and move less --In a bear market, there are often unexpected opportunities, such as COCORO being a big money dog a few days ago. If the pace slows down and there is a chance to make money, it depends on how to judge the narrative level --On the basis of watching more and moving less, don't be too greedy. Earning tens of thousands of dollars at once is already very tempting -It's still possible to do some grooming and farming, but don't expand and increase capital investment --If necessary, you can work more on a daily basis. If expectations can be lowered, there are still many easy daily settlement tasks in crypto, such as the IDO task in Binance Wallet with a single number of several hundred units, the Cryptopedia activity in OKX, and the Solayer&Launch Pool activity in Bybit. These are basically confirmed airdrops that will be sent, but people usually don't value this small amount of money, which is a problem of expectations --Moreover, thinking and reviewing more when grooming can also improve industry awareness, rather than just treating it as a drumbeat. For example, how to find ways to improve one's efficiency? The process of programmatic information collection? How to organize and plan projects and knowledge bases systematically? These are all ways that can be optimized -Self improvement --Read a book if you can, especially to improve your learning ability. Learning a language and improving one's education can have very practical benefits --Fitness creates a good physical foundation for the bull market Believe that the golden dog won't roll, and the big hair won't roll. Try to find areas where there are still dividends as much as possible, rather than doing whatever others do
