On August 25, the latest edition of Huobi HTX's "Fire Partner 1+1" focused on the theme "From First Profits to New Opportunities: Capturing Hotspots in the Web3 Market," inviting notable crypto KOLs like Gao Shang (Solana), Crypto Xiao Wu, and Crazyox to share their practical experiences and insights from their entry into the crypto space, their first profits, to the latest investment opportunities.
Fire Partner 1+1: The Journey of First Profits in Web3
Crypto Xiao Wu: I entered the blockchain industry in 2020 and have 6 years of Web3 experience. After experiencing the ups and downs of the industry, I gradually found my own path. In 2021, I capitalized on the "Zoo" meme coin craze and made my first considerable profit.
When I first entered the space, I was easily swayed by others, and blindly following trades led to losses. Later, through self-study, researching trends, candlestick patterns, and market rules, I learned to control my positions and emotions, strictly implementing profit-taking and stop-loss strategies, gradually achieving capital growth.
Gao Shang (Solana): I entered the space in 2018 while still in high school, and now I work as a market maker, handling exchange and on-chain orders. My starting point was very grassroots; I made my first money on the "Panta" project, earning about 100,000 RMB through community work. At that time, I had no capital, relying solely on labor costs.
After earning my first profits, I participated in many early projects, such as the "Zoo" meme craze, discovering the immense potential of underpriced assets. However, I gradually realized that just making money is not enough; if I don't cash out, it could all be in vain.
Crazyox: I entered the space relatively early, initially participating in ICO projects and experiencing some coins that dropped in value. The EOS public chain ecosystem was the track for my first profits because it had high transfer efficiency and an active ecosystem. I made ten times my investment, but unfortunately, I didn't take profits in time. Therefore, paper wealth is meaningless; timely profit-taking is essential to preserve gains. My deeper understanding now is that knowledge must be transformed into real cognition through action, such as dollar-cost averaging into BTC.
Fire Partner 1+1: What Sectors or Narratives Do You Focus on in Web3? What Are Your Views on Future Trends?
Crypto Xiao Wu: I mainly focus on yield farming and primary market exits, such as the Solana IDO launchpad. I am optimistic about RWA, stablecoins, AI, and meme tracks. AI is a long-term trend, while meme coins are high-risk, high-reward; as an experienced player, I will continue to participate.
Gao Shang (Solana): I mainly focus on presales and alpha projects, making money through information asymmetry, especially optimistic about the Solana ecosystem. Solana has strong liquidity; for example, Kanye's coin chose to launch on Solana, and in the future, celebrity coins may also prefer it. I believe new ecosystems will always bring hot money and opportunities; any asset that hasn't been reasonably priced is worth researching.
Crazyox: I focus on AI, RWA, and new ecosystems. Web3 changes rapidly, with short cycles; new ecosystems attract hot money and have great profit potential. For example, traditional finance is very optimistic about RWA, and AI is rising quickly. My principle is "play new, not old," because old ecosystems are easily disrupted by new projects. Ordinary people experience two rounds of bull and bear markets; seizing one or two opportunities in new ecosystems can yield returns far exceeding traditional industries. I will continue to pay attention to new ecosystem information on Twitter, laying low at dips to strive for stable returns.
Fire Partner 1+1: How to Efficiently Capture the Latest Hotspots in Web3?
Crypto Xiao Wu: I mainly rely on three strategies to capture hotspots: 1. On-chain data: observing new projects and capital flows to find early signals; 2. Community atmosphere: if a new coin suddenly becomes a topic of discussion in a group, it often indicates an opportunity; 3. Trading data: analyzing candlesticks, depth, and slippage to assess project feasibility.
My strategy is a "three-step approach": first, use a small position to test, confirm the trend and news before increasing the position, and finally operate with a large position while setting profit-taking and stop-loss points, strictly executing to avoid emotional decisions. This method works well for yield farming and low-cap projects, helping me seize short-term opportunities.
Gao Shang (Solana): I mainly find hotspots through three channels: 1. On-chain data: monitoring new projects and capital movements to discover potential opportunities; 2. News alerts: quickly understanding market dynamics and new asset launches; 3. Community discussions: I have joined many groups, and if a new coin goes from being ignored to hotly debated, it usually indicates a big opportunity.
I believe the meme coin or low-cap craze will reappear; emotional drives can lead to explosive growth. When assessing projects, I consider the time dimension; for example, if the Trump coin rises for three consecutive days before listing on Binance, it indicates real capital support, not just emotional speculation. Such opportunities are worth investing heavily in; at other times, I participate with small positions based on market intuition.
Crazyox: I have three main information channels: overseas macro analysis bloggers: their content is in-depth and helps me see the big trends; ecosystem research bloggers: they provide concrete project analyses, which I read carefully and share on Twitter; Twitter influencers: I follow KOLs focused on macro analysis to get timely information.
Additionally, I communicate with friends I have good relationships with, as they have unique insights in different fields. Combining Twitter information, I lay low on promising ecosystem projects at dips, such as Uni and OKB, earning a 70% return. This approach is suitable for ordinary people, requiring less effort but yielding high efficiency.
Fire Partner 1+1: How to Manage Positions and Risks Amid Market Volatility?
Crypto Xiao Wu: 20% dollar-cost averaging into BTC/ETH: as a base, increase positions when prices drop, sell small amounts when prices rise, fluctuations do not affect confidence. 20% in stablecoins: to maintain liquidity for unexpected situations. 40% in altcoins: investing in platform coins or financial products for stable returns. 20% in liquid funds: for yield farming or low-cap projects, chasing high-risk, high-reward opportunities.
This structure gives me a solid base; even if high-risk investments incur losses, it won't be devastating. I analyze the market calmly, strictly executing strategies to avoid emotional trading.
Gao Shang (Solana): Many of my significant gains have been due to luck, but in hindsight, my biggest regret is not cashing out in time. I suggest that after making money, withdraw 30% to cash out or dollar-cost average into BTC to ensure part of the profit is safe. This can reduce risk while keeping funds available for new opportunities. My position management is relatively simple, mainly based on experience, but I will focus more on discipline in the future.
Crazyox: Off-exchange income supports dollar-cost averaging: a stable external earning ability gives me the confidence to dollar-cost average into BTC/ETH, locking in beta returns. Some positions play in new ecosystems: investing in low-cap or new projects to seek alpha returns, with profits partially returning to the base. Small positions for trial and error in new strategies: exploring unknown areas, accepting the risk of losses, as one success can cover all costs.
Web3 changes quickly; sticking to old strategies is too stable but offers limited returns. I encourage trying new things, but with stable assets as a backup to ensure not being left behind by the market.
Fire Partner 1+1: What Factors Do You Value Most When Using CEX? Any Suggestions for Huobi HTX?
Crypto Xiao Wu: I have four priority factors when choosing a CEX. 1. Security: this includes not just asset protection but also compliance mechanisms and risk control tools, such as compensation guarantees. Huobi HTX gives me a strong sense of security in this regard, such as their safety commitments for deposits and withdrawals, even providing a certain percentage of backing guarantees. 2. Liquidity: deep order books reduce slippage, especially during large transactions, making me feel more secure. 3. Speed of new listings: Web3 cycles are short, and hotspots can vanish quickly; exchanges must quickly list new assets. 4. Authenticity of activities: some platforms have flashy activities but lack transparency in rewards, which can dampen user enthusiasm. Huobi HTX's event planning is excellent, with a clear reward mechanism and strong sense of participation. I am very satisfied with my overall experience with Huobi HTX, especially the security aspect.
I suggest Huobi HTX continue to push for differentiated gameplay: concepts like C2C selection stations are great and can increase user stickiness. Optimize the operational experience: making the trading interface and speed smoother can enhance user satisfaction. I look forward to Huobi HTX bringing more unique offerings under Sun Ge's guidance, such as more distinctive security mechanisms or hot events, to regain its peak.
Gao Shang (Solana): I value three main points: security: asset safety is paramount; exchanges must have strong risk control. Trading experience: operations should be smooth, with no delays and low transaction costs. Liquidity: good depth reduces slippage, facilitating large transactions. These factors allow me to trade with confidence and minimize unnecessary losses.
Therefore, I also hope Huobi HTX can improve in these areas. Strengthen security: continue to maintain high standards for deposit and withdrawal guarantees to enhance user trust. Improve liquidity: deeper order books can attract large traders and reduce slippage losses. Accelerate the speed of new listings: Web3 hotspots are fleeting; if Huobi HTX can list new assets faster, it will be more competitive. Huobi HTX has already done well in these areas, but there is room for further excellence, such as developing unique on-chain ecosystem gameplay to attract more Web3 players.
Crazyox: I focus on three points: 1. Security and liquidity: security is fundamental, and liquidity ensures smooth trading, which aligns with Gao Shang's viewpoint. 2. Unique gameplay: each CEX should have its own "genes." For example, OKX is suitable for low-cap coins, and the Ton ecosystem is good for small gift gameplay. If Huobi HTX can develop unique gameplay, it can attract a loyal player base. 3. User stickiness: a good CEX should have a community atmosphere, making users feel that trading is both fun and rewarding. Huobi HTX has potential in this regard, and I hope they can further highlight their unique features.
My suggestions for Huobi HTX are: create a unique gene: Huobi HTX should find a field that others cannot achieve and excel in it. For example, the Tron network attracts users with low fees and fast transfers; Huobi HTX can also aim to be the industry leader in security or some innovative gameplay. Gather loyal users: attract a group of users willing to engage through unique activities and gameplay. For instance, Huobi HTX's events could focus more on community engagement, making participation feel rewarding and enjoyable. Continue to innovate: Sun Ge has always excelled at seizing hotspots, and I hope he can continue to bring surprises, such as cooler ecosystem projects or trading mechanisms. I believe Huobi HTX has the capability to become the top choice for users!
