After staying up for several long nights, I had a headache and wanted to go to bed early today. However, I tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. I decided to get up and talk about the future of grooming All along, I have classified the behavior of "low-cost, high profit" under the category of grooming The earlier on chain interactions were able to receive airdrops, which was a hair raising activity; A few dozen inscriptions, it's about plucking hair; Mint received an NFT and received an airdrop, which can be considered as grooming During bear markets in the past, I always thought that the hair raising track was okay. Until this year, I have been conducting research projects almost every day, mining alpha information, and the number of active followers has increased from over 1000 to 6000. However, I have discovered a very scary thing Most of the projects I've seen this year are not worth pursuing I can guarantee it like this @In KaitoAI's pre tge projects, except for a few, 95% of them include reverse engineering. What does' reverse 'mean? There is no praise on promotion, only insults; Retail investors only suffer losses, not profits After self reflection, I realized that most of the projects in my studio this year were actually in a state of reversal, or not losing money Ironically, several of the projects I made money on this year revolved around the meme at the beginning of the year, and there were also some projects at the secondary level (yes, although I don't play meme much, I still made a lot of money through meme at the beginning of this year) In response to this, my strategy for the studio has changed: no longer focusing on hot projects, but specializing in small yet beautiful projects If this strategy hits one, then the capital for the whole year can be recovered. If we continue to work on large projects, on the one hand, we won't be able to compete with those tech savvy studios that come up with hundreds of thousands of addresses; On the other hand, the team that cannot overcome the card bug, with zero cost and hundreds of thousands of addresses, does not seek airdrops, only sells addresses. I believe this is also the dilemma that most small studios or retail investors are currently facing: hand cranked craftsmen are not as good as dogs The only way to overcome this dilemma at present is to wait and try Waiting for a new chip allocation method, a new thing We can only see who the good project is when the project team starts to cool down and the tide recedes Try more new things, the old-fashioned way of grooming is no longer effective at this stage. We need to try some new things The several big opportunities for grooming this year, whether it's @ worldlibertyfi or @ binancezh's alpha, or @ SaharaLabsAI @ solayer_1abs' money making, are actually not very friendly to new students in the industry. It's all zero capital coming in, and we can't complete the initial capital accumulation, let alone reinvest in the later stages. Don't talk to me about memes that multiply a hundred times in a day, contracts turn over overnight. You only saw the flags of a few winners and didn't see the mountains of corpses piled up under their feet. So back to the original question: What is the future of grooming? What do you think?
