合约里面的搞nxpc全亏完了. 现货的亏着剩30多，我挪进去开了50个shitcoin.能不能回本就看这个了😅 本来想明天出金把这个剩下的钱也出掉，现在再来最后一次，要么这50个shitcoin空单回本，要么腰斩出剩下的.

很直白的讲，我炒山寨就是为了撸钱买btc， 对任何山寨都没信仰， 包括eth，all shitcoin. 只是在这里面找不平衡点和狗庄持仓动向来撸点钱继续搞btc. 30%利润买btc，70%套现走人.

先别急着说山寨季，但凡山寨回本了都不敢大声说话🤣。 只能说买的早不如买的好，买的好不如跑的好。😭 只能和你说，上一次说山寨季买的shitcoin，还要涨400%才回本，你们呢？ 更别提一大堆人都在说，eth破2200，比当初破4000的时候大家还开心😅。

要佛系完了，币安上合约的频率很快，我们韭菜连这些币名字都记不住. 佛系固定金额空这些3kw以上的新合约，止损止盈40%幅度左右，只要大部分跌就行. 无脑玩. 山寨真全都他妈垃圾. 没有哪个山寨值得吹、 全shitcoin！ 无脑当机器人玩接下来， 买山寨买个几把.🤡

Genesis points复盘最后一次 毕竟yap的这个交给 @KaitoAI 了，那就真的是狗都不yap了，连 @VaderResearch 昨天都提出了质疑，直接对线开了很长很长一长段。 只想说或许会有很多项目方愿意和 @KaitoAI 合作，交钱，但是大多数散户都是呸的，说实话未来可能和美团一样，被万众嘲讽🤣。 --------- 言归正传回顾复盘 @AIxVC_0x 直接100x开盘，然后预计大概要消耗300w+的points才能打满，然后更有意思的是大家的points的来源也变了。 以前只要手持 @virtuals_io 扔钱包里就能参加，现在必须得stake了，质押进去然后选定质押时间，根据长短来权重。 而 @burnieio 也不出意料的在开始募后直接下探，兄弟领完最后一次钻石手奖励开始砸盘了。 这整体就是一个（3，3）的模型，就看到底谁买和谁卖，只限制了卖却没让人带来买盘，所以也无法撑起上涨。 所以其实可以发现Genesis Launch项目，大多数都是一条直线向下归零的，至少我参加了那么多次，基本上只有3个没朝着1m以下走，大多数都在100k-200k之间了。 所以到底是赚points还是赚钱，这目前是一个好问题。 毕竟大家不是来凑热闹的。 我接下来打算自己操作看看，到底是怎么样比较划得来，我现在基本上把地址都汇总了，一个号负责打新卖，一个号负责1天后卖，一个号负责买入然后不卖。 到时候和大家分享下。 yap卷不过 @KaitoAI 算法的， @virtuals_io 回归拿着本币装死的节奏咯。 不能因为先辈赚钱买房，现在房子买不起就怪先辈啊，先辈的房子也是自己赚钱买的啊，又不是天上掉下来的。 大家现在不也把shitcoin炒高卖给先辈们了吗😭。

取消 OP_RETURN 数据限制的这个事情这两天在 Bitcoin Core 的 PR #32359# 下吵翻天了。 中文社区里似乎关注不多，但有必要记录和讨论一下这个事情。 0/背景起因 事情起因是开发者 Peter Todd 提交了这个 PR （https://t.co/mChCbLgyPQ），因为认为目前的 OP_RETURN 限制 80 字节没太大意义，因为想提交的人总可以想办法绕过去。所以在这个 PR 里可以看到，是删除掉了默认的 80 字节限制。而且 PR 里同时还直接删除了自定义配置选项（-datacarrier 和 -datacarriersize），相当于也断了节点希望能自主配置的后路。 1/支持意见 支持者认为现有限制无效，因为可通过直接提交矿工 mempool（如 MARA Slipstream）或者无限制节点实现（如 Libre Relay）来绕过。 比如，目前已知的最大一笔 OP_RETURN 输出是 79,870 字节 https://t.co/zskrwg2DCD 还有这种用 OP_RETURN 把链当成留言板的。也有工具来帮忙打包上链（https://t.co/yNSnZeZhss），只要你愿意支付 fee（比特币上不叫 gas！见一次说一次） https://t.co/0frBGpHf7S https://t.co/lIlf9CVYg5 所以支持者的意见是，既然绕不过去，也就别防君子不防小人了，我们直接去掉，可能还能和矿工多激励相容一些。 2/反对意见 反对意见也很直观和明确：这样会更加助推各种非交易数据写在链上，挤占原有给交易的空间，推高交易成本，把空间留给了其他 shitcoin。 但可能有朋友会奇怪：“既然能绕过去么？那节点限制还有用么？” 有用。这也是反对的基础之一。 3/共识规则 要回答这个问题，还是要从 OP_RETURN 以及它所涉及的“共识规则”、“节点策略”说起。 OP_RETURN 的意思就是“返回”，从当前脚本执行中退出掉。也因此，脚本在后面写什么数据也都像代码注释一样，所以这笔交易实际是不可花费的，所以一般这笔输出金额都是 0。 而脚本里施加是否能花费的条件，是属于共识规则层面，所有节点都必须遵守的。 4/节点策略 但节点能做的也不少，因为节点自身可以决定怎么去处理拿到的交易数据。 最典型的就是这次讨论的核心——上链前：在区块打包前对于这笔交易是否能在 P2P 网络里传播做限制。Bitcoin Core 以前就是对于大于 83 字节的 OP_RETURN 交易不去传播，但如果在新的区块里存在这类交易，因为符合共识规则，那么节点也会承认这笔交易有效而链不会分叉。 但上链后，节点也可以有所作为，比如自动丢弃 OP_RETURN 附带的数据，降低自身的存储开销。 在比特币里你可能没法兼济天下（软硬分叉），但你完全可以独善其身（节点策略）。 5/可能会有什么影响 支持（ACK 或概念 ACK）、反对（NACK）都各自有支持的观点，是不是真的会被合并到 Bitcoin Core 的代码库中尚不确定。但如果合并了可能会有哪些影响？ 好的影响来看，如支持者所说可能能给矿工潜在带来收入。 但矿池真的喜欢么？我个人无责任猜测可能也会比较复杂，一方面如果区块空间竞争的越激烈，矿工和矿池的收入应该会更多；但另一方面，对于矿池提供的非标准交易打包的服务不算利好，因为这些交易可以在网络中更广泛的传播，而不需要使用以前的“独家”服务了。 另外可能利好的是各类想用 OP_RETURN 的“比特币生态”项目，例如 Runes 和最近的 Alkanes，以及其他一些侧链项目等。 但负面影响则绝对是对 Bitcoin-only 用户的区块空间的挤占。 所以如果这个 PR 通过了而实在不喜欢这么简单粗暴的取消限制又该怎么办呢？我的答案是可以选择另一些仍然有限制的客户端 Bitcoin Knots，或者在安全的前提下运行老版本即可（https://t.co/GSBuF1y1D6） 。 就算不合并，这次也启发了我可能是要对 Bitcoin Core 的角色进行重新审视，以及个人该改用哪种全节点了。 如之前 Antoine Poinsot 的一系列文章所述，Bitcoin Core 的优先级不明确。我理解是需要在安全补丁（工程实现）、节点策略（会对网络造成事实影响）、共识规则（影响软分叉）几个方面不断权衡，那么可能选择一个更符合自己理念的客户端会是更优决策。 但这也并不是对开发者的指责。毕竟就像以前 Shinobi 所述，开发者和你并不是劳务雇佣关系，而且你总是去点右上角的 fork。 相关链接 - https://t.co/Di3cDnTBRE - https://t.co/0frBGpHf7S - https://t.co/yNSnZeZhss - https://t.co/3Be0N40zsU - https://t.co/tGi5etaYpt

继续碎碎念3.0 很多东西需要一个人静下心来想，但是还有一些东西需要交流出来。 这或许就是我喜欢当一个“倾听者”外加“交流者”的一个原因吧。 ----------- 与价值无关，纯粹的“投机” 很多人最近都在思考“价值与否”还有是否进行“价值投资”等等东西。 这个其实无怪乎行情，任何时候都有人在思考，毕竟crypto圈子或者说web3圈子和cx圈的“门禁”似乎并不严格。 价格高不一定有价值，有价值不一定价格高。 对于整个圈子而言，大多数人在其中炒的是价格而不是价值，所以其实有没有价值似乎不太重要。 只有当价格无法上涨的时候，大家开始深思价值的问题。 其实至少在目前而言，绝大多数的token都是“电子盘”而已，本身就毫无价值，更别提有的甚至连价格都没了。 曾经对于pow的依托在于电费管理费之流，后面对于pos的依托似乎就是“无限通胀”毫无依托。 更别提绝大多数的“token”只能参加“治理”，甚至只是“投投票”，想要真正的权利，把项目买去吧😭。 认清楚现实，绝大多数的crypto/web3的项目，只是画饼给你吃而已，人家传统AI项目募资100B做的事情，crypto只要fair launch就能做成功，到底是你傻还是我傻？ 所以其实大家都知道有没有价值，只是在“博弈”或者说纯粹的“博傻”，明摆着会有人IQ低真信了，都是抄泡沫，谁又比谁高贵呢？ 有价值的东西，稳定币，DeFi等等，都是上上一轮的东西，没人玩了，你要做成Ponzi倒是有人玩，但是赚钱太不干脆了。 ---------- 谁又比谁更高贵？ 这个圈子最有魅力的就是“不确定性”。 你永远不知道过两天： 这个p小将会不会成为p元帅； 这个屌丝项目方会不会成为天王级项目方； 这个合约归零怪会不会成为二级大师； 所以你永远可以相信自己可能会成为xxxxx，不用拘泥于现状。 至少我知道的，现在圈内很多挺有趣的“人才”，之前都是跟着现在他们的小弟混的，当年混的多惨，现在就混的多好。 所以“莫欺少年穷”这个话真的在这个圈子能成为“经典名言”。 不需要在意任何人的眼光，安心走自己的路，坚定走自己的路，迟早能发现要么路走歪了，要么就该发光发亮了。 出门在外“身份都是自己给的”，所以大胆在网上“嗨”，这个kol真的没那么难。 这个圈子，你吹的越大，流量越大，正循环起来了，感觉都没看过故事会，一个比一个离谱的故事，越多人传阅； ----------- 做事的项目永远比做市的项目难 见过那么多项目方，听过那么多的故事。 你最怕的就是项目方给你说：兄弟们，我们在做事，我们有产品，等被人价值发现，就起飞； 最希望听到的是项目方给你说：兄弟，我们有做市团队，我们在做市，行情一来就启动； 很多情况下项目方不是不明白大家需要的是：币价拉升，而不是做的事情落地成功。 但是他没有办法很接地气的给大家说，我想拉盘，我觉得价格低，我们来想办法怎么拉盘。 大多数的项目方拿了机构的投资其实都成了负债，但是债多不压身，不能觉得一定会让机构回本，毕竟机构可能还可以退款😭。 很多做事的项目方很迷信自己做的东西，觉得自己“宇宙第一牛逼”，实质上可能就是一个“粘贴复制”搞定的东西。 想明白自己做的东西，透过现象看本质，都来crypto圈了，如果你真的做学术早干嘛去了，来这就是“搞钱”一切的背后都是为了“搞钱来的”，所以怎么做市画K线才是真正的做事。 毕竟手握“投资款”，想做点东西还是比“韭菜简单”不少的。 希望项目方都是为了来赚钱，不是为了“收割三瓜两枣”的投资款，安心做市吧。 --------- 一次成功=次次成功=永远成功 这个真的是crypto圈子或者说“虚拟经济”里最重要的一个板块，很多人都觉得一次成功=次次成功。 就好比以前vc考察创业者的过往经历，如果履历很优秀，那么就判断这个人可以成功，就这么简单。 所以如果在圈子内立足，一定要有一个“成功案例”，这样你可以说“一辈子”，甚至会因为这个带来接下来的“成功案例”。 这就好像为什么会有人“永赚”，就是在“潜移默化”的给你传输“我是成功人士，我永远成功”一个道理。 只是到最后被玩坏了，明显所有人都亏钱的还说赚钱，最终把“永赚博主”玩成了“假面博主”一样的意思了。 所以首要的是先获得“一次成功”。 只需要“粘贴复制”就行了，成功很简单，就和呼吸一样，形成习惯就行了。 ---------- 这一轮流量变现具像化 很多人喜欢低调赚钱高调做事，但是币圈不一样，喜欢高调赚钱低调做事。 是因为圈子不一样吗，实质上还是为了吸引流量。 说实话，这一轮和上一轮完完全全的不太一样， 上一轮大家都是靠着本事赚钱，这一轮太多是靠着流量赚钱。 上一轮大家赚几十上百M的人低调的你甚至以为这个逼会有钱？ 这一轮大家赚几M十几M的人，你甚至以为他就是项目方。 流量的好处随处可见，但是坏处目前还没开始反噬。 流量的变现具现化了，可以成为勾兑项目的利器，可以成为威胁的把柄，可以成为收入的提款机等等。 有点像是“筑梦演艺圈”的感觉了，“流量具现化”成了具体的事物。 所以未来会有越来越多为了“流量不择手段”的事情出现，并且会有越来越多会“营销天才”进场，毕竟这个圈子的钱比其他圈子的钱好赚一点； ---------- 期待不一样的东西 在圈内玩了这么多年，一直是没发现主旋律或者说主旋律一直没变，除了btc其他都是shitcoin，甚至可能到最后bitcoin也是shitcoin的一个环节。 无论是长期持有什么赌性都足够的大，这个圈子永远都是“博彩性质”远高于“投资性质”，所以你永远见到的都是做“菠菜属性”的东西收益最高，这和真实的世界是不尽相同的。 没那么难吧，到底有什么真正落地的，然后还是必须应用到crytpo的，才是当下需要考虑的事情。 期待点不一样吧。

Lessons To My Future Bull Market Self: This is partly to keep me accountable during bull market euphoria and also serves as a guide for those coming into the markets for their first cycle. I’d be extremely impressed if you managed to “make it” the first time and even more impressed if you managed to keep it. The former isn’t even the hard part. It is very much the latter. A blind Bored Ape Yacht Club member could make money in a roaring bull market. This is why many enter the markets for the first time and throw money at something they saw on Twitter, hear from a colleague or (the best one) get shilled by their Uber driver and convince themselves they have cracked the markets. Stuff goes up because more money flows into the system. The opposite is also true. Hence the past 2 years of pain. Your mission, if you choose to accept it… is to bet on the fastest and fittest horses in the race. This way you don’t miss an opportunity of a lifetime sat holding some worthless piece of shit whilst the rest of the people around you are making serious dough. There are plenty of ways to get to that arbitrary number that you think will help you achieve eternal happiness. Whether it will or not is a different matter. The following are some of the most important points that I have sat and stewed over which I think were at times the parts I personally went wrong in the last cycle, primarily. 2017 was just a blur. I didn’t have a clue what I was doing if I am honest. If you check the residuals in my Coinbase account it would be very embarrassing indeed. The last cycle was infinitely better from a performance perspective. That being said, in hindsight, there were still so many stupid and silly mistakes that either stunted my portfolio growth or cost me a small fortune in losses. Let’s get to it. Disclaimer: If you are not mature enough to read this and take responsibility for your own actions in the markets please just stop reading. There are probs a few things I have missed that I will add on as time goes by and I get a brain zap and remember. This is not financial advice, I am extremely stupid. You will lose all your money listening to me Stay Curious and Try Shit - Funnily enough, I think this applies more to people who may be on their second or third cycle. Naturally, when you come into the markets for the first time, all you want to do is digest information and buy shit. The further down the rabbit hole you go the more likely you are to find something early. The reinforcement of making great returns from being early encourages you to continue your exploration of the crypto/on-chain world. Always maintain this edge of being one of the first to try shit out. You never know when you will stumble upon something great. As a bull cycle goes on the edge in the markets tends to erode due to increased competition both on a capital and skill front. People will outwork and outsmart you and there’s always someone with more capital around the corner. Edge can be reestablished by trying shit early and deciding for yourself whether it has something about it. There were many different times last cycle that you could have picked up assets before the masses just by trying the protocol and seeing for yourself. Never leave it down to someone else to tell you. They can’t and won’t do it for you. It has happened recently with Solana. The masses tell you one thing when in reality it is the other. This results in the majority of the market being offside on something that clearly has a lot going for it. Stay curious and try shit. Don’t Chase Yield - If you are new to this market, DO NOT try and chase yield. You do not need to earn 20% on a position less than $200,000 (minimum). There are going to be plenty of times when you are drawn in by a very tasty yield on stable assets. There are also going to be plenty of times when you are drawn in by ridiculous APRs. You’re probably going to provide liquidity on a DEX and get rekt there too. The long and short of it is this. You do not need to concern yourself with earning yield when you don’t have a worthwhile portfolio size. Why earn 20% on stable(ish) assets when you could have liquid capital and earn much more than that, oftentimes in one day (if you choose correctly)? The additional complexity, counterparty risk and smart contract risk are categorically not worth it at this stage. If you play the farm and dump game with new ponzis that come online, please do not even entertain for one second that you should purchase the token that everyone is farming. There are bigger fish with more capital and experience that know how to play these games to a tee. You will be bait. I’d even go as far as saying if this is your first or second time around just buy tokens and don’t do anything else with them (other than sell of course). Maybe there are a few exceptions: Holding an LST like stETH, rETH, swETH or pxETH over ETH if you have a long-term view (again, not really for everyone). Staking a token to match inflation i.e. SOL (in this case use the most lindy SOL LST stSOL or mSOL). If TIME makes a comeback and we go full ponzi season and run it back turbo Don’t chase yield, it doesn’t make sense until you make it. Let Others Drink the Kool-Aid - I was definitely caught sipping from the communal ponzi Kool-Aid fountain a few times last cycle. It’s quite funny because you know deep down that there is something cult-like about certain founders, communities and tokens but at the time everyone is printing money so nobody cares. It always ends up in tears, literally every time. That being said, when you see a ponzi cult that has a founder that people would jump off a bridge for, just buy it. These folks never tend to realise they’ve been dumped or that they in fact were in a cult until it’s too late. The beauty of this (for you; an awakened market participant) is that people tend to wrap their whole online personality up in, said cult and when you are selling they are writing 40 Tweet threads about why the recent fud is unjustified. Let them be the exit liquidity they desire to be. TLDR; Scams pump the hardest, Let others drink the Kool-Aid. Position Sizing - I was too small on the way up and too large on the way down at times. This ain’t good. Larger more concentrated bets on less volatile yet sure-fire wins whilst rotating proportions into higher-beta assets to make more of the underlying position is my typical play. Be wary of liquidity, particularly for on-chain assets. You may get away with poorly timed entries in a bull market but if liquidity thins out you get screwed entering a position and also screwed exiting a position. If they have a buy-and-sell tax which is more popular now, then you get screwed again. I don’t really have much more to say on this one other than pick your poison (which I already have) and don’t fuck up the remainder of your portfolio oversizing into lower conviction plays, undoing the great entry on the large position. If you can’t outperform BTC, ETH and maybe even SOL this cycle. Just buy those and forget about it until McDonald’s puts the minimum wage up to $50 an hour because all their workers got paper rich and left, again. I can’t reiterate the above enough, if you aren’t serious about this and you don’t have the time don’t bother. Just keep it simple. Shitcoins are Generally Good - First, we should define a shitcoin. In my opinion, anything that is purely created for speculation. The irony is that 99.99% of the market are shitcoins but some projects are more honest about it than others. You are gonna lose a fuck tonne of money playing the shitcoin markets. You also stand the chance of making large amounts of capital very quickly, which if you are smart, you can then play the games mentioned above. I can’t stress the fact that you can go completely flat-ass broke trading shitcoins not knowing what you are doing. These trenches are well-trodden by professionals who have more capital, more experience and more information than you. They haven’t stopped all bear market, they are fucking born ready for the next PEPE or SHIB. What is your edge? The chances of you buying a shitcoin out of pure luck that goes on to make you serious money is slim to fuck-all. There are thousands of complete rugs launched Every. Single. Day. Learn the trade if you must, sniff out the good accounts to follow and get ready to have sleepless nights and to start spamming the group family message with /wen_marketing, because this shit will take over your life. If this isn’t for you stick to the point above BTC, ETH and SOL. If you are a born fucking nugget degenerate then see “Position Sizing”. If you don’t get it, buy it - I am becoming a lot better at this next point but still struggle. A lot of the time because I struggle to think like an absolute fucking moron. But, you must be the idiot. Eat, sleep and think like an idiot, if you are to catch the almighty pump led by redacted coins. I know I would have missed the Stepn seed round. Move to earn, like what?! GTFO. I knew better, I was investing in the future of financial technologies. All the while it went 1000x and I had 0 position. Come to think of it move to earn was such an easy sell for the rest of the world outside of the echo chamber of CT. I just didn’t get it at the time and I paid the price. Never again. If you have a visceral reaction to something good or bad, investigate it more, there is probably something there. After all we are emotional beings and charts are just human emotions expressed in candle sticks… I think RT taught me that one. Write, write, write - This is simple. Writing is the fastest way to growthhack your understanding of anything. You have to check your own understanding of things before you publish them or you look like a tit. Just write and do it even if you aren’t going to publish, it helps clear your mind and structure your thoughts. Stay Healthy - I got fat as fuck during the bull market. More money, more time spent sitting at the desk. DO NOT DO IT. You need to train as you would for anything. Staying fit and healthy is a way to perform better. You Can’t Own Everything - There will be unlimited shiny objects during a bull market. You can own them all but you will not perform well. Do your research, get the best entry you can get and let the thesis play out. If you are wrong, you will know a lot sooner in a bull market. Over-diversification is terrible if you are looking to grow the portfolio quickly and well. You can’t physically manage all those positions as much as you would like to think so. There is also no way you know all the bull and bear cases for each token you hold too. If you do, then come work for us at blocmates because that is impressive. The crypto markets are so reflexive that it makes no sense to be over-allocated across too many assets. Winners can often move alone but the full market pulls back together. Get conviction and stop being a little bitch. Break your bags - This stems from the point above. You best know the bear argument for your position because if it begins to come true then you need to exit and move on. If there is no bear argument for your position then congrats you have joined a cult. Supply Dynamics are Everything - Tokenization is such a difficult dynamic to wrap your head around if you are just starting out. But, know this... You best be aware of large token unlocks, who is getting unlocked, the inflation schedule for the tokens you hold and what the supply of your token will be 12 months from now. If you do not know this, then you should not own a token. If you think you can simply beat the market because some 1920’s data said that HODL outperforms, then you are my exit liquidity, thank you. Token supply increases in crypto are absolutely brutal. Large unlocks and cliffs can increase a token supply by 2x overnight. Many tokens from the last cycle will not reach their previous ATH because of the drastic increase in supply. They might hit their market cap ATH but the price could still be lightyears away.

Put it in cold storage out of the way so you aren’t tempted to even “take a bit off and buy back lower”. If you are talented then yeah go for it, most aren’t. Other tips not worth writing a lot about: - Use a DEX and birdge aggregator to make sure you are getting the best price - Always use a Ledger - Check DeFi llama directory to find the correct URL of a site.
