YZi Labs has just announced the EASY Residency S4, 24 projects, each receiving $500000 incubation investment. I have been participating in Meme for the past six months, After experiencing losses and gains, I have come to a deeper understanding of one point: There are generally two main ways to make money sustainably in Crypto. Here, we also gain a deeper understanding of bloggers like Guhe, who have been deeply involved in the DeFi&Preps track for a long time and can sleep peacefully with their holdings. ✅ Meme: Money to earn attention. From the "book" stage, represented by life, to the "coin and stock" stage, represented by Niu Lai, Essentially, money flows wherever attention is focused. Narrate, as funds come in, the odds come out. But attention comes quickly, and walking is also fast. So Meme can be played, but it is more suitable to use the mentality and funds of buying lottery tickets to compete for odds. ✅ Real assets: earn money from growth. Just like betting on stocks of powerful companies, look for something that has products, users, income, and will become increasingly important as the industry develops. For example, HYPE and UNI. Hyperliquid has transaction requirements, while Uniswap has ongoing usage scenarios. Even if there is no heat on X and no big shots constantly mentioning it, it can still run. Returning to our own investment and speculative thinking, perhaps we should also complete a cognitive switch: From 'I haven't completed the accumulation of funds yet, so I need to search for the next Meme narrative that can escape', Slowly shift towards' when funds accumulate to a certain stage, switch to an investment perspective and explore the next product that will truly be used '. ———————————————————————— Looking back at EASY S4, you will find that the direction of these 24 projects is actually very clear: D0、Facto、Kravata、Nxos、Spectrum、Surgepay， We are doing stablecoin payments and cross-border settlements. Aile、Nara、ViFi Labs， On chain FX, credit, and emerging market liquidity. Alloco、ElfomoFi、Liquorice、Neutral Trade、Nexroute、XStable， Doing RWA, market making, trading execution, and clearing. De¹、Roostoo、SmartX、xAPI， We are pushing AI agents towards transaction, API, and payment execution. Looking at these projects together, the direction is actually very clear: Stablecoins → Payments → Forex → Credit → Transactions → Liquidation → AI Execution Crypto is moving away from the past of 'creating an asset concept and repeatedly building wheels', Slowly moving towards building a truly operational financial system. ———————————————————————— Looking back at myself: From the earliest era of grooming, to grooming and becoming a 'diamond hand', and then to zero. From now on, I have been watching players like Guhe, relying on long-term bets on high-quality assets to continuously reach new highs. I increasingly believe that in the future, Crypto may still be filled with various asset concepts of 'cut and run'. But once we have accumulated a certain amount of assets, we should also start learning another strategy: shifting from earning attention money to gradually earning growth money. The sexiest thing about Crypto is here: When we cannot see the future clearly, we can look at what frontline institutions are investing in and what track they are betting on. The future is not completely unpredictable. But at least, it has always been traceable.
