Recently decided to slow down and carefully study some interesting projects, gradually getting involved.

Hyperliquid, Aster, and Lighter all teach me the same lesson—the seemingly insignificant projects often hide the biggest opportunities. Taking Lighter as an example, before the TGE, many people's attitude was "Isn't edgeX stronger?" but in the end, Lighter proved to be a dark horse. There are quite a few such cases, and many studios have gained good returns from them.

The current Perp market still presents new opportunities. The key is to be patient and not be fooled by superficial hype. Projects that initially seem insignificant are often the ones with real potential. Instead of chasing after hype and buying high, it's better to spend time researching fundamentals and finding true differentiation advantages. Pumpkin, as a new Perp player, is worth continuous attention and in-depth understanding.

HYPE-1.15%

ASTER-0.96%

LIT-4.29%

PERP-5.85%

Haha, the Lighter thing is indeed impressive. I was definitely mocked back then, and now I'm eating my words. Focusing on fundamental analysis is correct, but most people simply can't stick to it. I'm also watching Pumpkin. It doesn't seem that simple, so I'll observe a bit more. Slowing down is good, much better than blindly chasing. This market really tests patience.

Not sure if it's luck or foresight, but Lighter definitely made a profit that round. Now it seems Pumpkin is following the same pattern.

Really, undervalued projects can actually make big money. I've heard this countless times, but I still end up losing out. Lighter's breakout really proved a lot of people wrong. Is there still a chance in the Perp sector? That depends on who reacts fastest. Researching fundamentals is easier said than done; most people probably have a stronger gambling instinct. Pumpkin definitely deserves some attention, but don't become the next batch to take the hit. Instead of just watching and waiting, it's better to start with small amounts and test the waters.

Really, low-profile projects are the real deal. People who missed the Lighter wave are still regretting it now. --- Don’t just talk about hype; focusing on fundamentals is the right way. I’m also watching Pumpkin. --- Slowing down to do research? That’s the right approach. It’s much more rational than chasing highs every day. --- Is there still a chance with Perp? Forget it, everyone’s watching it now. It’s not too late to get in. --- Dark horses are always hidden in the corners; it depends on who has the patience to dig them out. --- It sounds good, but in reality, you still need to bet on the right direction. It’s not that simple. --- It’s hard not to chase hype. Watching others make money is really hard to resist. --- Lighter is indeed fierce, but where the next dark horse is, is hard to say.
