In the crypto market, some say that early positioning relies on luck.
Indeed, there are always those who can establish positions at the early stages of new projects and enjoy the dividends of ecological growth; while others chase high prices in the emotional fluctuations of the secondary market and end up getting trapped.
But is it really the case? I don't think so.
More often, it depends on how they view the market - what tools they use, what judgments they make, and how they try to take control amidst uncertainty.
The true achievers often take an extra moment to think before each action.

Transparency is not just a number, but the foundation of trust.
When market enthusiasm is high, stability is often overlooked; but when the tide turns suddenly, what users truly value is verifiable security and commitment.
Today, Gate released the transparency report for June:
- The user base has exceeded 30 million;

- The trading volume of contracts continues to grow, and the platform's share remains among the top in the world.

In the past, trading was private. Gains and losses only fluctuated in one's own account, and thoughts were only processed in one's own mind.

The trading platform is the same. More and more traders are starting to "go public" — sharing their strategies, showcasing position changes, and even discussing the process of tuning their bots openly. This is not just about sh

The passage of time is constant (of course, we are not discussing general or special relativity here). Some people spend years honing a project; others chase after the next new coin that just launched every second. Some claim to be top traders before the age of twenty; while others, just past thirty, say they are "too old" to keep up with the changes in the crypto world.

People use these three words in DMs and wonder why they don't get a response: 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬, 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, and worst of all, 𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬.
😴 Opportunities: it's so vague that it usually comes from people who don't even know what we do. Everything is an "opportunity" - almost like it's a tautology. Better yet, they offer an "opportunity" for me to work with them. It's always an opportunity for ME, never for THEM. Simply lovely.
🤢 Collaborations: it's often used to hide the true agenda, which makes the conversation phony and inefficient. If you're coming to a

I spent 17 years in sales trading, and in less than 2 years, I’ve somehow become a full-time public speaker (and gotten quite good at it).
Turns out, it's actually pretty simple.
📝 Write your own scripts. Prepare your own answers.
