Honestly, the market cooling off has given me a chance to catch up with the current narrative and set my strategy better. Many argue that crypto is losing its appeal or just another gambling bazaar as liquidity thins and the market pumps are merely profit-maximizing rotations. But I beg to differ, there are lots of things that you can do right now (NFA+DYOR): — ❶  Find Emerging Narratives I have several categories on my watchlist that I believe will be the most resilient narratives: ▸ Agentic Payment (x402/ERC-8004/ERC-7857) ▸ Robotics & AI ▸ Privacy Infrastructure ▸ Neobank ▸ RWA These categories are all tied to the progression of crypto into real-world applications, particularly those involving payment and agentic infrastructure. To discover projects and narratives, I recommend using tools like @_dexuai and @getmoni_io, as well as research platforms like @Delphi_Digital and @SoSoValueCrypto. — ❷  Stablecoins farming Many suggest you need at least 6-7 figures to notice an impact from yield farming, but this isn't true for most of us. I recommend farming with whatever liquidity you have. Think of it as a way to park your stable assets and keep them productive until you're ready to take on more risk. Protocols for stablecoin farming that I used: ➠ @eulerfinance → I love their Earn for simplicity and leveraged stables farming ➠ @pendle_fi → LP is the my fav for getting points exposure, otherwise you can just choose PT ➠ @hyperbeat → I think still the best set-and-forget stables farming on @HyperliquidX ecosystem — ❸ Participate on ICOs If you ready to risk-on or have a liquidity to be spared, then ICOs is your choice. There are several platforms that I use: ➠ @echodotxyz → Have many good deals incl. web2 projects and recently @megaeth public round ➠ @legiondotcc → The social score will affect your total allo + OTC opportunities ➠ Others: @buidlpad, @MetaDAOProject, @metaplex — ❹ Build Your Brand/ Social Presence One of the best pieces of advice for creators or builders is to invest more effort in developing your social presence or brand. Post regularly, engage in genuine discussions, and, most importantly, show up every day. There are no excuses for not doing so. By doing this, you open doors to connect with others and participate in conversations that can lead to exciting opportunities, such as landing jobs, securing deals, or being invited into private discussions with key market players. Additionally, as the market cools off, many 'tourists' will gradually disappear, providing you with greater visibility and traction. Remember, Eli5 was built during bear market's depths, we consistently showed up every day, and it paid off.
