бот для polymarket

2026-01-09T09:40:49.757Z

🏗️ Часть 1: Стек (Что вам нужно)

Вам не нужно быть разработчиком, но нужны правильные инструменты.

Установите VS Code. Это ваш командный центр.

Скачайте:
code.visualstudio.com
Совет: Установите расширение "Python" внутри VS Code.

Установите Python

Скачайте Python 3.10+ с
python.org
⚠️ КРИТИЧЕСКИ ВАЖНО: Во время установки поставьте галочку "Add Python to PATH". Если пропустите это, ничего не заработает.

Секретный соус (Библиотеки)

Откройте терминал (Командная строка или Терминал) и выполните эту единственную команду, чтобы установить инструменты, используемые профи Polymarket:

Bash
pip install asyncio aiohttp websockets python-dotenv py-clob-client

🔑 Часть 2: Доступ (Ключи)

Боту нужно разрешение на торговлю.

Получите API-ключи: Перейдите в Polymarket → Настройки → API. Создайте ключ. Сохраните Key, Secret и Passphrase. Также нужен приватный ключ вашего кошелька (Экспорт из Metamask/Phantom). ИСПОЛЬЗУЙТЕ НОВЫЙ КОШЕЛЕК!
Создайте безопасный файл: Откройте VS Code. Создайте новый файл с именем .env. Вставьте свои ключи в этом точном формате:
Код
PRIVATE_KEY=0x... (приватный ключ вашего кошелька)
POLYGON_CHAIN_ID=137
CLOB_API_KEY=...
CLOB_SECRET=...
CLOB_PASSPHRASE=...

🤖 Часть 3: "No-Code" Промпты

Мы не пишем код. Мы просим ИИ (ChatGPT o1, Claude 3.5 или Gemini) написать его за нас. Копируйте эти точно.

Шаг A: Скрипт одобрения (Обязательно)

Вы должны авторизовать биржу тратить ваш USDC, иначе бот провалится.

Промпт для генерации
approve.py
:

"Write a Python script using py-clob-client to approve USDC for trading on Polymarket. Load PRIVATE_KEY from a .env file. Initialize the ClobClient on Polygon Mainnet (Chain ID 137). Call client.set_allowance to authorize the exchange to spend my USDC. Print 'Success' or the specific error message."

Шаг B: Сканер рынков

Этот скрипт находит активное 15-минутное окно, чтобы вам не пришлось искать вручную.

Промпт для генерации
scanner.py
:

"Write a Python script using aiohttp to query the Polymarket Gamma API. Goal: Find the currently active 15-minute Bitcoin or Ethereum market. Logic: Get current time in ET. Calculate the current 15-minute window (e.g., 10:00–10:15). Search
https://gamma-api.polymarket.com/public-search
for 'Bitcoin Up or Down' matching this window. Return the condition_id, token_id for YES/NO, and the end_time. Filter for markets ending in less than 20 minutes."

Шаг C: "Снайпер в последнюю секунду"

Это принтер денег.

Промпт для генерации
sniper.py
:

"Write a high-frequency trading script using websockets and py-clob-client. Context: I have a target Condition ID and Token IDs. The Logic: Setup: Connect to wss://ws-subscriptions-clob.polymarket.com/ws/market to stream Level 1 (bids/asks). Monitor: Keep a local variable of the 'Best Ask' for the winning side. The Trigger: STRICTLY when Time Remaining <= 1 second (but > 0): Check if the winning side (Price > 0.50) is available below $0.99. Safety: Add a DRY_RUN boolean flag. If True, just print 'WOULD BUY'. If False, execute. Action: Send a 'Fill or Kill' (FOK) order for $0.99 using client.create_and_post_order. Speed: Use asyncio loop. Do not use time.sleep."

🧪 Часть 4: Как тестировать безопасно

Не запускайте это сразу на полную сумму.

Режим сухого запуска: В сгенерированном
sniper.py
убедись, что DRY_RUN = True. Запусти python
sniper.py
. Следи за терминалом. Если видишь "WOULD BUY YES at 0.98 [Time 10:14:59]", логика валидна.
Тест на $1: Установи DRY_RUN = False. Жёстко закодируй SIZE = 1 (1 share = ~$1). Это ограничивает ваш риск ровно $1.00, пока вы тестируете задержку интернета.

🚀 Часть 5: Запуск

Открой терминал в VS Code.
Одобри: python
approve.py
(Нужно только один раз).
Сканируй: python
scanner.py
(Получи ID).
Снайпь: Скопируй ID в
sniper.py
и запусти python
sniper.py

твои +$400 к ежемесячному доходу

2025-09-13T12:16:15.513Z

сразу скажу, что ТЯНУТЬ НЕЛЬЗЯ! чем раньше ты начнешь - тем лучше.
мы в самом начале движухи и у нас есть фора.

суть: OKX запустили программу BOOST, где за удержание депозита и объёмы торгов можно получать токены проектов. из недавнего - раздали $LINEA, которую можно было смело лить в +$360 чистого профита. но об этом позже.

почему это стоит делать: ранее от биржи Binance вышла программа Alpha, где за те же действия она раздает дропы. в среднем за 5-10 минут работы В НЕДЕЛЮ люди зарабатывают от $400 в месяц. почти пассивный и самое главное приятный заработок. эта тема - новый нарратив в среде CEX'ов.

ГЛАВНОЕ ЧТО НЕ НУЖЕН KYC!!!

почему тебе нужно прочитать этот гайд: после прочтения у тебя не останется вопросов. я покажу подробный пошаговый путь, проанализирую прошлый дроп и скажу, как выгоднее фармить на текущий момент.

ну-с, начинаем!

Регистрация

регистрируйся по этой ссылке - https://web3.okx.com/join/INCOMING

она дает скидку 10% на торговую комиссию.
благодаря ей каждый 10 трейд БЕСПЛАТНЫЙ.

на дистанции получается норм сумма, а тащить кэш с OKX BOUNCE мы будем ориентировочно 3-6 месяцев. сэкономил = заработал.

далее ставь расширение OKX web3 wallet для хрома - https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/okx-wallet/mcohilncbfahbmgdjkbpemcciiolgcge?hl=ru

импортируй туда свой кошелек с Metamask, Trustwallet или зарегистрируй новый - тут как тебе по кайфу.

далее подключайся с OKX Wallet к сайту:

Принцип фарма

как я говорил ранее, наша задача делать объём (торговать) + держать на своем счету определенную сумму. тут есть один интересный нюанс, о котором я вам расскажу.

две метрики для получения очков:

1 - баланс буста. это ваш СРЕДНИЙ баланс токенов первой группы* за последние 15 дней на OKX. например, на вашем счету лежит $150. средний баланс за 15 дней - $10. рассчитывается он так: ваша_сумма/15. это очень просто, запомните эту простую формулу.

2 - объём буста. это сколько вы наторговали объёма в блокчейне SOL и в совместимых EVM сетях через агрегатор от OKX.

*группы токенов:

т.е нам надо на кошельке хранить обычные наши активы типа USDT, USDC, ETH и т.д, чтобы получать за это поинты, которые потом конвертируются в очки (поинты). остальные группы нужны для самого выгодного фарма, но об этом я распишу в разделе "стратегия"

итог: нам нужно держать ETH или стейблы на кошельке OKX и набивать объемы торгов на монетах в паре к USDT. все! изи фарм и изи кэш.

Выбор токена для фарма

чуть выше мы говорили про группы токенов. их нужно правильно между собой совместить, чтобы получить наивыгоднейшие условия.

о чем нам это говорит?

чтобы забрать наибольший множитель, нам надо торговать пары:
> группа 1 / другие
> группа 2 / другие

или человеческим языком:

> стейблы к альтам не из топ-50/100
> альты топ-50/100 к остальным альтам

норм вариант я выделил жирным.

например возьмем токен $MYX, который щас на хайпе.
https://dexscreener.com/bsc/0x6ec31af1bb9a72aacec12e4ded508861b05f4503
контракт: 0xD82544bf0dfe8385eF8FA34D67e6e4940CC63e16

проверяем, относится он в группе1/2 или к другим.

для этого идем на сайт:

https://web3.okx.com/ru/dex-fees/tokens?page=1

и вбиваем контракт в поиск:

это значит, что токен относится к категории другие.

для наибольшего кэфа нам нужно свапнуть USDT на этот токен, а потом обратно, чтобы сделать объём торговли

Фарм объёма

заходим на DEX - https://web3.okx.com/ru/token/bsc

выбираем нужную сеть - BSC
выбираем нужный токен - MYX

далее покупаем/продаем токен.

на странице токена в окне действий есть вкладка "мои сделки". там можно посмотреть затраченные средства на комиссию и объём торгов.

на этом скрине мой средний объём $26
инвестировано: $3
объем начисляется в 00:00 UTC.

регистрируйся по ссылке - https://web3.okx.com/join/INCOMING
или вводи код INCOMING

так ты получишь 10% скидку на комиссии
на дистанции это норм сумма.

по сути больше ничего делать не надо.
чтобы понимать +- метрики, рассмотрим

Кейс Linea

для дропа от OKX BOOST нужно было выполнить два условия:

1 - средний баланс за 15 дней - $10 (т.е $150 депа)
2 - средний объем за 15 дней - $32 (т.е $480 объема)

за эти метрики давали одно АЧЬКО.

а вот сколько можно было заработать очков за объём:

теперь приведу статистику насыпки за очки:

Примерная статистика по накрутке очков для дропа Linea

1️⃣ Необходимый средний объём: 32$ [за раз сделать 480$]
Затраты: 4.80$
Награда: 2,819 LINEA = 84.58$
Прибыль: +79.78$

2️⃣ Необходимый средний объём: 64$ [за раз сделать 960$]
Затраты: 9.60$
Награда: 5,638 LINEA = 169.16$
Прибыль: +159.56$

3️⃣ Необходимый средний объём: 128$ [за раз сделать 1,920$]
Затраты: 19.20$
Награда: 8,457 LINEA = 253.74$
Прибыль: +234.54$

4️⃣ Необходимый средний объём: 256$ [за раз сделать 3,840$]
Затраты: 38.40$
Награда: 11,277 LINEA = 338.32$
Прибыль: +299.92$

5️⃣ Необходимый средний объём: 512$ [за раз сделать 7,680$]
Затраты: 76.80$
Награда: 14,096 LINEA = 422.90$
Прибыль: +346.10$

6️⃣ Необходимый средний объём: 1,024$ [за раз сделать 15,360$]
Затраты: 153.60$
Награда: 16,915 LINEA = 507.48$
Прибыль: +353.88$

7️⃣ Необходимый средний объём: 2,048$ [за раз сделать 30,720$]
Затраты: 307.20$
Награда: 19,735 LINEA = 592.06$
Прибыль: +284.86$

8️⃣ Необходимый средний объём: 4,096$ [за раз сделать 61,440$]
Затраты: 614.40$
Награда: 22,554 LINEA = 676.64$
Прибыль: +62.24$

Стратегия по фарму

исходя из кейса Linea, самые выгодные варианты это 1 и 2 - оба по 16 иксов на вложения. с другой стороны, это самый нижний проходной балл, в который можно и не попасть. поэтому я не рассматриваю это и буду бить в середину - 4 и 5 очков.

4 очка - объём $3840 (средний $252)
5 очков - объём $7680 (средний $512)

за 4 очка мы получили 7.7 иксов
за 5 очков мы получили 4.5 икса.

ну все, в добрый путь!

я буду освещать эту тему на канале

Торговля мемами в tier-1 боте.

2024-10-20T15:10:19.043Z

Покупать токены через DEX - это прошлый век. Неудобно, занимает много времени, никакой кастомизации, транзакции идут годами, нет красивых картинок с PnL и т.д. Поэтому я принёс для тебя гайд по лучшему БЕСПЛАТНОМУ инструменту для торговли мемкоинами в сети solana.

Почему именно солана?

Общий объём торгов за сутки: $7.38b. Из них:

SOL - $2.72b
ETH - $618m
BSC - $2.57b
BASE - $481m

На первом месте солана, где бОльшая часть объёма - это торговля мемами. В этом блокчейне тонна ликвидности и еще больше возможностей. Чем мы и будем с вами пользоваться. Итак.

Регистрируемся в боте.

Мы будем пользоваться самым быстрым ботом, который лишь чуть-чуть уступает платным продуктам стоимостью ~$9600. Это TradeWiz.

Регистрируемся в боте - *КЛИК*
После чего попадаем в главное меню:

Solana Wallet address - это ваши реквизиты. Переводим по указанному адресу SOL с биржи и через минуту они отобразятся в SOL Balance.

В этой статье я не буду затрагивать раздел Copy Trade, т.к это отдельное направление достойное новой статьи. Которую я тоже напишу. Но в другой раз.

Настраиваем бота.

Переходим по кнопке Settings и ставим мои настройки:

Slippage: на сколько цена может измениться от текущей, чтобы прошла сделка.
Gas fee: 0.007 SOL вполне хватает, можно поднять до 0.01-0.02.
Anti-MEV: должен быть включен, если вы покупаете на сумму >0.4 SOL.
MEV Tip: 0.005, этого хватит, чтобы вас не мевнули. 0.01-0.02 - чтобы транзакции летали оч быстро и ваша покупка бал моментальная. используем только если покупаем монету на сумму >0.4 SOL, в остальных случаях это пустая трата денег!
Auto Buy: функция, если вы покупаете всегда на одну сумму. После активации вам нужно будет прописать размер позы в Auto Buy Amount. Чтобы купить монету, нужно отправить контракт в бота и он её купит сразу на заданную вами сумму.

Покупаем/продаём монету.

Для примера разберем монету WAPE.

Берем её контракт на dexscreener:

Переходим в бота TradeWiz, нажимаем Buy и вставляем контракт:

Откроется меню с покупкой:

SOL Balance: сколько соланы на вашем счету.
Price: цена, LP: ликвидность в токене: MC: капитализация.
Renounced + Burnt: никто не вытащит ликву и не напечатает новые токены.

Мы можем выбрать предложенную сумму для покупки: 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5 SOL. Либо можем написать её сами. Для этого нужно нажать Buy X SOL и написать значение. Например 0.05 SOL, если вы хотите взять монету WAPE на такую сумму.

После покупки TradeWiz показывает информацию по позиции:

SOL Balance: сколько осталось соли на депозите.
Token: на какую сумму куплен текущий токен.
PNL: ваш профит в процентах/солане/долларах.
Avg Entry: средняя цена входа в позицию.

Смотрим свои позиции:

Сразу после покупки можно нажать на кнопку view positions либо прописать /start, попасть в главное меню и зайти в positions.

Появились две новые метрики:

Buy: на какую сумму и сколько раз вы купили монету.
Sell: на какую сумму и сколько раз вы продали монету.

Чтобы сгенерировать картинку с PnL, нажмите на кнопку SHARE:

Продаем монету.

Снова заходим в Positions, после чего кликаем по названию монеты.
Откроется такое меню:

Галка стоит на Swap, Sell 100% и 35% Slippage.
Эти цифры можно поменять. Например, продать половину позиции, выбрав Sell 50%. Или продать 10%, нажав на Sell X %.

Я продаю всю позу, поэтому просто нажимаю на Sell в самом низу.

Всё, из позиции мы вышли и зафиксировали 1% убытка.

Ставим тейк-профит и стоп-лосс.

В самом начале я писал, что у ботов расширен функционал. Например, вы можете задать условие: как монета вырастит в 2 раза, бот должен автоматически продать 50% позиции. Тем самым у вас будут бесплатные токены и 0 рисков.

Для этого заходим в Auto Sell.

Открывается такое меню:

T/P: сюда пишем при каком росте поставить тейк-профит/стоп-лосс.
Amount: какой % от позиции зафиксировать.

Если цена обрушится на 50%, то бот продаст всю монету.
Если цена вырастит на 100%, то бот продаст половину (безубыток)
Если цена вырастит на 600%, то бот продаст 30%.
Если цена вырасти на 6000%, то бот продаст оставшиеся 20%.

Чтобы включить этот режим, переключите его с Paused.

Это была статья по базовой торговле в TradeWiz боте.
Благодаря ему ваша торговля будет максимально комфортной.
С вами был may.crypto

Профессионально торгуем мемами

2024-08-12T11:01:19.340Z

в этой статье я расскажу, как сделать торговлю мемами удобной и приятной.

Регаемся в боте.

переходим в trojan solana bot (по ссылке вы получите скидку 10% на комиссии)
после чего у вас откроется такое меню:

чтобы начать им пользоваться, нужно перевести SOL (именно солану, а не USDC или другой токен) на кошелек. в моем случае я перевел на F1X7J****VYZF.

баланс для торговли есть. переходим к следующему пункту.

Настройка бота.

идем в меню settings

первые 2 пункта отвечают за базовые настройки:

fast / turbo / custom fee - это размер комиссии. у меня стоит турбо, чтобы позиция точно попала в мемпул и токен был куплен моментально.

mev protect - это защита от сендвич атак посредством проведения транзакций через приватный мемпул. оч нужная вещь, поэтому обязательно включаем.

следующее по списку - автопокупка.
одно из лучших изобретений, чтобы в одно касание покупать токен. для этого нужно лишь отправить контракт в бота и дальше все будет сделано за вас автоматически.

чтобы настроить автоматические покупки, надо нажать на кнопку Auto Buy. после чего мы перейдем в меню настроек

чтобы автопокупка работала, не забудьте ее включить. индикатор работоспособности - кнопка ON

buy amount - это сумма, на которую будет открываться позиция.
slippage - это проскальзывание. я ставлю 100%, т.к щитки волатильные.
min liquidity - чекает ликвидность токена. если она ниже выставленного вами порога, то токен не будет куплен. я не пользуюсь этой настройкой.
max mcap - если капа токена выше той, что вы выставили, то токен не будет куплен. я не пользуюсь этой настройкой.
auto sell (SL/TP) - имба на щитках, о ней в следующем пункте.

нажимаем на Auto Sell (SL/TP)

и переходим в настройку стоп-лосса и тейк-профита:

читаем настройки на моем скрине:

когда цена вырастит от точки входа на 100% (T/P: 100.00%), бот продаст половину позиции (Amount: 50.00%). другими словами, как токен сделает х2, троян бот автоматически зафиксирует тело и застрахует меня от убытков.
проскальзывание выставил 50%, этого хватает.

Остальные настройки

buy amounts - нужны, если вы не пользуетесь автопокупкой. после того, как вы отправите контракт токена в бота, бот вам предложит 5 вариантов сумм, на которую купить щиток. у меня это 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 10 солан.

вы можете отредактировать эти суммы по своему усмотрению.

sell ammounts - сколько % от позиции фиксировать. у меня стоит 50% и 100%. sell slippage 100%.

удачных торгов!

Preface

Greetings, dear reader!

Is there any easier way to understand the crypto-sphere by adopting the experience and way of thinking of outstanding personalities who literally built its foundation?

As for #making_on_crypto, why not learn it at the same time also from the richest representatives?

It's not uncommon for these motives to overlap and complement each other - to understand and make money.

The hero of last week's article was Sam from FTX and Alameda Research. As for our guest today... He could very well compete with Sam for any championship.

A simple guy who went through McDonald's, whose capital was once valued at $90 billion.

Sold his apartment to buy bitcoin at $600.

Once told his team, "We're going to do an ICO. Google it if you don't know the meaning of the word." Two weeks later, the guys had raised $15 million.

And just six months later, this project was the best in its field.

That project is the Binance exchange, and today's article is about its creator and CEO Changmen Zhao, also known as CZ (Changpeng Zhao).

He is one of the most famous builders, he managed to contribute to the sphere even before he founded his own company, and now he is a pioneer for the whole crypto-space.

This man lives his business, it's enough to know that 95% of Binance employees are paid in crypto. And the only assets he really holds are $BTC, $BNB, to understand his intentions.

Can you imagine how uncomfortable such a life can be? But this very thesis is what makes it possible to create innovative and breakthrough products.

Well, why not get to know each other better?

Early Biography

First Check Point: 1977. China during the time of Mao Tse-tung.

Our hero was born in the Chinese province of Jiangsu into a family of teachers. When CZ was six years old, amid the Cultural Revolution in China, his father was forced to emigrate to Canada. As all universities were closed because of the unrest, Zhao's father could not teach or even study.
As soon as the riots subsided, many students hurriedly applied to study abroad.

Fortunately, Zhao's father was accepted to the University of British Columbia.

So Zhao and his mother lived apart from his father for the next six years until they were approved for a visa. After that, the whole family moved to Vancouver.

To celebrate the reunion, the father bought his son an IBM-286 computer. By the head of the family's confession, it was the biggest purchase of his life.

That's where it all begins...

At first, Zhao played simple computer games. But thanks to his father, who is good at math and programming, and the teaching experience of both parents, the focus of his son's interests was skillfully shifted. The possibilities of IBM were revealed in a new way.

By the way, when translating some Binance materials, you may be confused by the mention of the Czech Republic in the received text. The fact is that the combination of letters CZ (Changpeng Zhao), is the international code of the Czech Republic.

In high school, Zhao studied more and more math and IT, taking many courses. He sometimes had to combine his studies with a part-time job to help his family pay the bills. At one time he worked at McDonald's, a true cryptan.

Student life and the first serious job

Student life was full of internships and in his third year Zhao went to Japan. There he got his first real work experience: programming in the field of trading.

At that time Zhao had little idea about the structure of financial systems, but even for an amateur it was obvious that this field was a new "gold mine".

And this field would not let him go. Or rather, it would not let him go.

After graduation CZ travelled a lot, and during this time he gained valuable experience in the stock markets of Japan.

Considering that SBF got rich indirectly thanks to Japanese exchanges, we are obviously underestimating their contribution to the cryptocurrency industry... But seriously, this example really shows the need to be everywhere and understand the situation in order to take advantage of it.

Needless to say about global products like Binance, even I, a mere cryptan, managed to benefit a lot from trying to be everywhere.

In 2001 I started working on the system of trade order installation, but already on the New York Stock Exchange.

In the same year I was offered a job at Bloomberg. He joined the team of Tradebook service, which specializes in futures contracts trading.

Zhao was promoted 3 times during his 4-year career at Bloomberg. In his last position at the company, he regulated interactions between the New Jersey, Tokyo and London teams.

Let's skip ahead a bit - CZ's example is also interesting because the philosophy of the cryptocurrency sphere applies not only to his work, but also to his life:

"I changed cities every five years on average. I lived in China, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore. I think I'm a typical global citizen. It's influenced my outlook, the way I think and the way I do business."

That's what we see in the idea of decentralization-an attempt to prioritize the whole world over a particular centralized unit, expanding one's freedoms and experience.

Founding your own company

Zhao's career achievement at Bloomberg was just the beginning for CZ. After moving to Shanghai in the fall of 2005, Zhao became one of the first partners at Fusion Systems Group, a consulting company for trading and banking software applications. At Fusion Systems, he successfully negotiated trading systems deals with Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank.

Along with his main job at Fusion Systems, Zhao also tried himself in various startups, here is a little-known example:

"Around 2006-2008, a comrade and I decided to start a social media service, more specifically an image rating service similar to Hot or Not. It seemed like a brilliant idea to us, and we decided to monetize the fashion industry. But we both had main jobs and did not want to leave, so we decided to work on the project in our spare time, not full-time. I already had some ties to the venture capitalist world, and I set us up with a few meetings. Each of them said firmly and clearly: either you work on this all the time, or it won't take off"

In the end, CZ and its partner got into debt, which they were not able to cover until four years later.

The important lesson from CZ is that if you're not fully committed, it's not worth a second of your time.

Supplementing this thought we see that CZ almost created Tinder 6 years before the original.
Genius ideas may come often, but they will also require a corresponding return. In other words, don't spray every opportunity if you've got the confidence in your business.

In 2013, after becoming interested in cryptocurrencies, CZ left Fusion Systems (what's it like to leave your own company?). He had worked there for eight years.

Going into crypto from your own company - I think a lot of people are familiar ;)

The seductive world of cryptocurrencies

In 2013, Bobby Li, who was the CEO of BTC China, and his investor friend Ron Cao, then at Lightspeed China Partners, pitched the idea at a poker game:

"CZ, you have to convert 10% of your net worth into Bitcoin. Yes, there is a very small chance that it will fall to zero and you will lose that 10%, but there is a big chance that it will increase 10 times and then you will double your equity" (math and probabilities again).

Champen was inspired by the gamble.

CZ soon became familiar with Bitcoin's whitepaper and thanks to technical expertise figured it out in 6 months. At that time there was not much educational content on the Internet, only the local bitcointalk.org forum.

And that's the perfect example I'm trying to convey - once you could only read about bitcoin in one forum, but now, regardless of the price, they're ready to queue up for it.

The same thing is happening now with young but strong projects. As long as you follow them, you not only get an opportunity to be earlier and earn more, you keep your hand on the pulse of the industry, opening up even more opportunities: for example, to create your own breakthrough product.

In December 2013, at a small conference in Las Vegas, he met with some of today's industry giants: Charlie Lee, Matthew Roszak, Vitalik Buterin. There was also a representative from Ripple. He taught Champen how to use the token.

In the process he transferred some XRP (about $500) to CZ. When they were finished, CZ wanted to give the coins back, but the reply he heard was, "You can keep them and use them to train the next person.

So I thought, "Well, this is a pretty generous group of people. They really don't just do things for profit and really just want to teach."

Encouraged by the technology, CZ moved on to active investment.

He purchased a small amount of $BTC to estimate the potential. Having realized it in full, he was already in a hurry to sell his most illiquid asset - his own apartment.

It sounds nice, "I sold the apartment - I bought bitcoin", but it is very important to understand the meaning: CZ bought $BTC at $600 and survived its fall to $200. That is, he transferred his "solid and sure asset" to one that depreciated 3 times. Imagine having 2/3 of your living space abruptly disappear. Not very pleasant and even scary. A firmer thesis and confidence in it, helped CZ go the distance and make tens or hundreds of times more from that deal.

At the same time, Champen regularly attended topical conferences and actively participated in discussions on cryptocurrency forums.

There he met the Blockchain.info startup team, which he soon joined as CTO.

CZ worked in this company for about a year, as he decided that his strength was, after all, in the exchange business. Champen still speaks warmly of that period in his life.

He contributed significantly in popularizing Blockchain.info from a startup to a widely recognized service.

Those who have been in crypto long enough understand the importance of this company. In 2016 I thought that only through their service you can create a btc wallet.

After Blockchain.info CZ joined OKCoin (a subsidiary of OKEx), at the time the largest cryptocurrency to fiat money exchanger in China, as CTO, to which he was poached by He Yi (Current CMO of Binance).

It wasn't even a year before CZ left the company, explaining his reasons for leaving in a post on Reddit:
"It's really just a difference in direction. The differences have become more apparent in the last couple of months, and we've had a lot of discussions. We decided to go our separate ways."

The move came as a surprise to many, seemingly coming out of nowhere. Under CZ's leadership, OKCoin became the leading exchange in China and added advanced features such as futures.

After leaving OKCoin, CZ thought about creating his own exchange that focused only on cryptocurrency trading. He worked carefully on the concept, waiting patiently for the right moment to start.

From 2015 to 2017, CZ worked at BijieTech, the company he founded. The company provided cloud-based digital currency exchange networks for operators in Shanghai. Zhao mentions this period quite rarely in his interviews, and in general the whole time is covered by a veil of secrets and scandals. But if you omit those details, CZ acquired a significant number of useful contacts during this period, which will later become the backbone of the future Binance.

The birth of Binance

In the crypto industry, exchanges manage almost the entire infrastructure. Every single part of the transaction except for the buyer and seller, while in traditional finance there are about 12 different firms doing it all. The other important part was the need for a non-American transaction base.

The name of the exchange came about by combining two words:

Today, Binance is not just an exchange where you can exchange one cryptocurrency for another. It is a whole ecosystem offering a huge range of services and opportunities to its end user. Specifically, the exchange offers cryptocurrency to cryptocurrency exchange including more than 500 pairs. But there are even more significant products, which we will talk about a little later, because this is an article about CZ, not its project.

Having summarized all the experience gained, CZ went very long and carefully to its future project, waiting for the right moment, which came in 2017.

This year was marked in the crypto industry by the ICO boom period.

At that time, if you were a user of a crypto exchange, in most cases you had to deal with clunky interfaces.

The underlying systems were unstable and slow. In 2017, after another halving, the price of the major cryptocurrency was rising, while at the same time all crypto exchanges were falling into the abyss. And the worst part was that none of the exchanges had customer support services.

CZ, in turn, saw this as a huge opportunity for development, forming a series of core ideas that formed the basis of Binance:

"We have an almost ready-made trading system with a fast matching mechanism. We can make the user interface much friendlier, increase the speed of exchange, provide timely customer service, and lower fees.

Although hundreds of new exchanges were born every day, they were just copying each other. No one has really made significant improvements."

It is not known exactly when the concept of Binance was born and began to develop. From Zhao's biography we can conclude that back in 2013 he was imbued with a huge interest in the cryptocurrency industry. And after Zhao's not the best, according to himself, experience in the OKCoin cryptocurrency to fiat exchange, he began to conceive the image of his own cryptocurrency exchange.

The concept was actively developed presumably from 2015 to 2017, in parallel with the work in BijieTech, the staff of which subsequently formed the main working team of the future Binance.

The year 2017, due to the enormous hype in the field, as well as the ICO boom, was the most opportune moment to turn all the accumulated experience, innovative ideas and developments into results.

"When we launched Binance, we interviewed people from all over the world. One guy just messaged me on Telegram, sent me a resume with a cover letter. He wanted to work for us in any position, and he understood our business very well. We hired him after two interviews and he became the head of listings, which is a very influential position if you understand the impact of listings on Binance. This person is not public and we have never disclosed his name."

The exchange was established in China, but after the local law regarding cryptocurrencies became stricter, the company was forced to move to Japan.

CZ's reputation reached such a level at one point that he was invited to Malta as an advisor to write laws regulating the cryptocurrency industry. Binance's headquarters was then moved there. And Malta became the new cryptocurrency capital.

Opening Utility

Continuing to talk about discoveries - BNB has set a new trend for tokens and their use.

Many people are convinced that a coin can only have one use case, in fact there are more variations. Look at Ethereum-it can be a means of payment or capital preservation, but it also powers DeFi and NFT. The asset can have many uses.

At the time of its release BNB was a real breakthrough as it was the first token in combination with an exchange token, it first "ran" on ERC-20 and later its own blockchain was created.

BNB is a native currency of Binance Smart Chain, initially it was planned for internal use - discounts on commissions for traders, VIP-statuses and allocations on Launchpad. After the introduction of the blockchain, the possibilities of the token expanded beyond the use on the exchange, and today you can even book a trip or a hotel room for BNB. It is utilitarianism (utilitarianism again, no, just practicality) that creates value, and BNB has it in abundance.

The flow of new users was so enormous that the team had to hire people just to buy servers from Amazon every day.

The question of centralization: CZ VS Vitaly Buterin

This conflict was born almost immediately after the emergence of the Binance exchange and continues to this day. CZ suggests that Binance may well become a DAO in the near future, but Binance to this day is to some extent a centralized exchange. Vitalik Buterin, for his part, is an unquestioning supporter of complete decentralization (hahahaha, and this after he transferred ETH to PoS)

During the TechCrunch Sessions: Blockchain event, Vitalik Buterin expressed concern about the trend toward centralization of the crypto industry:

"I really hope the centralized exchanges burn in hell."

According to him, centralized exchanges exist only because they serve as a kind of bridge between the world of fiat currencies and the sphere of crypto assets.

CZ, on the other hand, expressed an alternative opinion:

"It seems to me that when it comes to centralization vs. decentralization, there are more aspects to consider. I am not very much involved in the design and development of BSC, but Vitalik Buterin, for example, is very closely involved in the architecture of Ethereum 2.0. Specifically in this aspect Ethereum seems to me more centralized, everything revolves around one person. Look at bitcoin, you can't find the founder - and that makes it more decentralized.

The Ethereum network has more nodes, yes. They claim it's a computer that can't be stopped, and that the software can be run from a laptop. But let's be honest, if you run a node on a laptop, you can hardly do anything else on it.

BSC has a limited number of validators, but not all are controlled by Binance. We only control a few. We can't control the network, we can't freeze user assets, we can't undo transactions. There is decentralization in that sense.

Everyone views decentralization differently. It seems to me that BSC is less decentralized than Ethereum by most logical criteria, and there's nothing wrong with that.

In my mind, users care about security, ease of use, and low fees. BSC provides all of that. We're just trying to meet people's needs (blocks are also on demand)."

This question is very relevant to this day, although this dialogue took place several years ago. It is difficult to take an unambiguous position, but CZ and vitalik.eth have raised a very important issue, in our future articles I will try to reveal it.

CZ's attitude toward competition

Sam and Zhao grew up in North America, worked on Wall Street, and started their business in Asia, where they are somewhat out of the reach of U.S. regulators.

As Coinbase, the largest U.S. exchange, has grown and gone public, Binance and FTX have created platforms that cater to American traders, offering far fewer advantages over the main company.

Following a similar path laid out by Changpeng Zhao, the three Bankman-Fried companies form the basis of a nearly independent financial ecosystem in which his firms can better leverage the value they create.

Binance was one of the first investors in FTX. Isn't that a competitor?

"I never consider anyone as a competitor. There are people with a mentality of competition and hostility to everything, even businesses from other fields. But I have a mentality of abundance. I think most things in this world are not limited resources. Money is unlimited. The business opportunities are unlimited. And the crypto industry certainly is. We are so far from saturating the crypto market. We have to build the market together."

For all the friendliness of CZ, you can see that the era of Binance vs FTX is starting: exchanges began to race to buy bankrupt projects at cheap prices in order to sell them at a "fair" price during the next bull cycle.

"Right now, Binance has the largest cash reserves. We want to help most companies that have liquidity problems get through this cycle, we're talking about more than 50 companies. Binance has 6,000 people, and by the end of the year there will be 8,000." - Binance CEO said in an interview.

It would seem silly to hire people in crisis because most exchanges are cutting. On the other hand, the employees who come in the crisis may be more grateful. The cost of advertising has fallen? This means that you can attract more famous advertisers and make your product known to a larger audience. In this way the basic need for "bread and circuses" is satisfied.

Comparing Binance to Coinbase, Liu (Zhao's former OKCoin colleague) says the latter still takes a rather traditional Internet company approach to regulation.

They prefer to step-by-step offer high-quality services that target the American and European markets, while completely forgetting about the rest of the world. This approach has its risks:

Huobi were kings in the Chinese market, but government bans and the inability to work with English-speaking users led the financial component to a deplorable state. Now they are on the verge of bankruptcy.

Zhao seems like one of those people who likes to find short (and sometimes simple) ways to be effective. If you need to scale the world = he'll find a way to do it.

The ultimate demonstration of loyalty and charm

A key component of Zhao's charm is his ability to connect with people.
Finding common topics of conversation and actively contributing to the cryptocommunity is the best way to build strong bonds.
Nevertheless, CZ is often criticized for his aggressive introduction into the legal spheres of various countries, and here is his response to that:

"I do think we need rules for society to function well. But at the same time - I'm free. I believe we can increase the overall level of freedom with cryptocurrency."

As impressive as the list of merits of the exchange is, it gets even more impressive, some of them - Binance Coin, and the Binance Exchange's cryptocurrency-only trading policy - were radical at the time of their launch. Add up the number of businesses that have since followed Zhao's lead, and it's easy to see why he is lauded as a visionary.

At the Forbes Asia Forum in Singapore, Zhao prepared a surprise for the audience. By the time he took the stage, the crowd of businessmen had turned into an excited mass.

It's a testament to Zhao's cross-over appeal - many in the audience are members of a financial institution who (at least publicly) are still somewhat skeptical, if not derisive, of the technology. On that very stage entrance, however, those differences disappeared when Zhao raised his hand to reveal his first tattoo, the new logo of his exchange, Binance. Since then, he has received no less than a dozen requests for selfies, all provided his right hand is raised high.

This move shows the root of CZ's appeal; if he sometimes seems to shun rebel status by abandoning passive real estate and fiat, what makes him such an effective ambassador for the crypto movement is that he so easily radiates his core beliefs.

"A tattoo is the ultimate demonstration of fidelity, it cannot be bought. It must be voluntary."

Jehan Chu, co-founder and managing partner of Kenetic Capital, whose firm declined to invest in Binance, now believes it was a mistake, and much of it has to do with Zhao's talent for spotting market needs.

"What worked really well was its ability to adapt to the changing marketplace and offer innovations that the marketplace didn't even know it had," Chu says.

"They were the first to come up with an exchange token. I think that's what's most impressive about CZ: his vision to just try different things, repeat and then execute."

It is easy to forget that Zhao's rapid ascent came after nearly two years of exile of sorts, a period during which emails from CoinDesk often went unanswered.

Binance is neither the first cryptocurrency exchange nor the first decentralized exchange. "But he is able to synthesize his experience, his team and initiatives that he has not been able to implement in OKCoin.

And part of the reason for his abilities, they say, is that CZ is a very outgoing person. He has a great sense of humor and always seems to be a bit of a smart guy, a bit ahead of the mainstream.

Actions in the bear market 2022

In late November, CZ released an article with 10 postulates on the need for regulation in cryptocurrency.

On March 26, CZ met with San Salvador President Nayib Buquel. To discuss the implementation of crypto in Central America.

Zhao is pretty positive about what's happening with the crypto market in the summer of 2022. Here's a snippet from the interview:

"As far as I know, we have a much bigger budget than anyone else in the industry. This may put Binance among the few people for whom the trend change in the market is good news. Although it's painful for many, it weeds out the weak projects and only the strong ones remain."

"Everyone who survives, who survives, will become stronger."

According to CZ, the key difference between today's market and the bear market of 2018 is that our industry now has more leverage. There are two types of leverage: fast and slow.

Fast leverage is found on centralized exchanges, often with futures. They work, as you can easily guess, very "fast.

For example, there was a cascading liquidation on BitMex on March 12, 2020, which caused the price of bitcoin to drop from $8,000 to $3,000 in one day. Fast enough. However, the situation resolved itself within 24 hours. The next day, the markets began to recover.

Slow leverage is when funds are lent by other funds or DeFi protocols for investment. When one goes into liquidation, it usually takes days or weeks for the affected lenders to realize or accept the pain. They can also have a cascading effect, but the rate of spread is much slower. Fortunately, the more such cascading events occur, the fewer they become and the more they are distributed.

"So far, I think the blockchain industry has shown tremendous resilience. If you had told me two years ago, on March 12, 2020, that the price of bitcoin in June 2022 would be $20,000, I would have been very happy. So why not zoom out for a more balanced perspective? Let's take the situation as a chance to replicate proper risk management and educate the masses."

With all this, the red candles did not escape Zhao.
CZ equity fell from $96 billion to $11 billion.
Of which 1.6 billion losses are Terra coins.

There are pronounced cycles of four years in the market. By the way, they exist in the stock market and in other areas, even the U.S. elections take place with such periodicity. But he does not predict how it will be this time. But CZ advises business owners to have free cash for a period of a decade with zero bearish returns. This is the only way to be confident in the stability of the business. Binance has such funds. What about you?

Right now, Binance remains the largest cryptocurrency company in the world, processing an unimaginable number of transactions. Every day, more than $50 billion changes hands on the platform, which typically takes a 0.1% fee. In practice, this means that Zhao, who is by far the company's largest shareholder, makes money regardless of whether its customers buy or sell.

CZ in ordinary life

Despite his wealth, Champen doesn't think life has changed much. He works hard every day because he likes it and it feels good.

"Work is the most meaningful thing I can do with my time/life. I feel very lucky to have this opportunity."

Now he travels more and still takes advantage of some perks, such as attending the premiere of "Top Gun" in Cannes. Nevertheless, the Binance team helps him stay humble as he served and delivered pizzas later that week.

Champen was once asked, "What's the most luxurious thing you've bought for yourself because of your success?" To which he replied:

"I bought five or six laptops. In fact, I destroy laptops pretty quickly-they break. As soon as new ones come out, I buy them. So I buy a lot of gadgets. But by and large, it's not that expensive. I don't have a car. I don't have a house. The problem with cars and houses is that I just don't consider them liquid. Once you buy them, you can't trade them in as easily. You can rent an apartment or stay in a hotel - that gives you much more liquidity. So I'm one of those guys who values freedom of choice much more than owning physical objects."

As a follow-up, the question came in, "At this point, how much of your own capital do you think is invested in cryptocurrencies?" The answer was as follows:

"I would say probably 100 percent. I have no fiat money, and the physical things I own are negligible in terms of my assets. It's a concept shift. I don't use cryptocurrency to buy fiat money, I don't use cryptocurrency to buy houses. I just want to keep cryptocurrency and I don't plan on converting it to cash in the future."

His personal assets are also simple Zhao is all in crypto, BNB and BTC.

What is the reason for breakthrough entrepreneurs to create a business based on? Pain. In Zhao's case, it's a personal pain-he hates fiat in all its forms-and what's a great way to get rid of intermediary banks? That's right, to create his own Binance Card. Naturally good intentions for others have a place too, that's why the product works. And what other examples of products/platforms in crypto from "personal pain" do you know?

Iron Man. Who does CZ see himself as?

It turns out that Zhao prefers comparisons to Tony Stark, the billionaire superhero known from the Marvel Comics.

"Tony Stark is very inventive, he masters a lot of things. We're talking about technology, all the tools he creates and uses to act.

In his eyes, he's just trying to do as much good as he can, and if that means challenging the establishment in the process, it's just a byproduct of his mission.

"We should always give people more choices. The more choices, the better. People can choose whether to use a bank, and people can choose whether to use cryptocurrency."

Nonetheless, Zhao does his best to develop the cryptoecosystem and avoids banks whenever possible. Thanks in part to a team that handles his expenses. Whenever possible, he pays for hotels and airfare with cryptocurrency - even if with a surcharge.

It's a personal mission that has also reached his staff, where he estimates that 95% of the Binance team receives at least part of their salary in cryptocurrency. (Since he doesn't work with cash, he says the company works with a network of over-the-counter traders to pay fiat).

CZ is convinced that we live in a simulation:

"When I was a child 40 years ago, I lived in a small village without running water or electricity. We had to carry water from a well 200 meters away and use kerosene lamps when I did my homework in the evening. A few years later we had a water pump installed in our own yard, which was a huge improvement. Another year later we had tap water. When electricity became available, it was only available for a few hours a day. That also improved very quickly. Now we have cell phones, the Internet and blockchain. Given the exponential growth of technology, imagine in 20 years we have the technology to stick a rod in our head like in the movie "The Matrix" and everything will be modeled for us?"

Zhao thus identifies himself as a HODLer, a cryptocurrency enthusiast who believes that whether the market is rising or falling, the best investment strategy is simply to buy, hold and wait for the world to wake up to the asset class.

His other qualities have infiltrated the Binance team, he says. He describes his core mantra as "be fair, be ethical, don't do anything stupid." Nevertheless, there are differences between the superhero and his team of cryptomystics.

The final and best way to summarize CZ's ideal is his conviction-those who believe in cryptography and help push the technology toward the mainstream will be rewarded.

Real believers (crypto-evangelists) make a lot more money.

Afterword

Friends, with this article I wanted to show you that the way to success is often through years of experience, coupled with the idea of changing the world.
Wealth rarely comes to us by itself; it is important to remain optimistic in any situation. Especially in a bear market, when the market presents opportunities to enter at the most delicious prices.

One of the ideas behind the CZ article was to show that even when thrown into an unknown country as a stranger among strangers, you can with hard work and ingenuity get what you really deserve. Hard work is important, and working smart is even more important.

DAO: a harbinger of algocracy

2022-10-13T13:38:23.142Z

The concept

DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) is a concept of organization based on the interaction of smart contracts in a blockchain and without a single control center.

Traditional companies organize groups of people around specific goals. But such companies have a hierarchical structure and are run from the top down. DAOs have no hierarchy. They operate transparently, according to the rules spelled out in the code, and allow any participant to make suggestions.

Native DAO token holders vote on proposals designed to benefit the entire community.

A DAO usually has a treasury to implement the ideas voted on by the community. Most DAO activity focuses on coordinating treasury decisions.

Appearance

The concept of DAO (first name DAC - decentralized autonomous corporations) was born in 2013. The key principles of DAC were decentralization of companies, tokenization of their shares and openness of operations with publicly verifiable code. Over time, the community refined the idea and adapted it to any organization of people, the concept was called DAO.

Blockchain is the basic infrastructure for creating a DAO, as now any DAO is a system from smart contracts (Dapp). Some believe that Bitcoin is the first open source DAO where miners and developers maintain the integrity of the system.

In 2016, one of the first DAOs in history, called "The DAO," was launched. Investors invested more than 14% of all circulating ETH at the time.

The goal of The DAO was to create a community-driven venture capital fund that would invest in projects based on voting. However, just three months later, hackers hacked The DAO and stole $60 million worth of ETH.

Although this experiment with The DAO was unsuccessful, it opened the door for the development of this conduit in subsequent projects.

Principle of operation

DAO is a combination of people and algorithms. A set of rules attached to the governance structure and built into the code.

In order to decide on any proposal, a vote is held in the community, where the strength of a participant's vote depends on the number of project tokens.

The voting process itself can take place either on dedicated services or on third-party platforms like Tally or Snapshot.

DAO members work together based on the rules spelled out in the smart contract and a common goal. All rules are transparent.

DAO membership can be divided into two categories:

Token-based membership.

DAO tokens are freely traded on decentralized exchanges and are mostly used for governance. Each token gives the right to vote.

Users can receive tokens from the DAO in exchange for providing services to the organization itself. Uniswap's Airdrop for early users was an example of such a situation.

Equity-based membership.

Share-based DAOs are not necessarily open to all comers. Instead, they often screen potential participants before allowing them to join and require a certain monetary contribution. MolochDAO is one such organization.

Pros and cons

Pros

There is no clear hierarchy. In DAO every interested party can participate in voting and decision making.
Transparency. History of the decisions is available to all.
Openness. Almost everyone with access to the Internet can become a DAO token holder and thereby obtain the right to make decisions.
Trustless. The concept of DAO allows people to interact with each other to achieve a common goal without the need to trust all participants in the organization.

Cons

Undefined legal status. At the moment there is no clear legal regulation for DAO.
The risk of hacker attack. Such decentralized structures are vulnerable to risks of attacks.
Low efficiency and friction. The lack of a clear hierarchy can cause a split community and slow down the decision-making process.

Perspectives

According to a recent Messari report, one of the trends in the crypto industry in 2022 will be DAOs. Over the course of the year, we may see the restructuring of such organizations, the emergence of subsidiary DAOs, and a new way of distributing roles among participants.

Better collaboration tools await DAOs, which will allow the community to shake off passivity and become more effective.

DAOs are moving toward formal recognition. In April 2021, Wyoming passed a law recognizing decentralized autonomous organizations as a new form of company. A few months later, the first official DAO was approved.

But in November 2021, the SEC suspended the token registration of the first legally recognized organization, saying it had provided "misleading information" to potential investors.

How do you lose all your money in a moment?

2022-10-11T08:16:22.298Z

Did you read the headline? Surely you are convinced that such a fate will always pass you by... I think everyone who woke up and suddenly saw zeros in their wallets, also thought so :)

Reasons for losses may be different: exchanger blocked your account, or hackers stole all the crypto by breaking into your Metamask, etc.

And that's why I wrote this mini guide so you, my beloved subscriber, never had to face a sudden loss of all your money. Make sure you read it all the way to the end (if you want to make sure your savings are safe). Let's go

(Don't forget to subscribe to my May CLUB channel)

Cold Wallets

Naturally, hard wallets are considered the safest way to store crypto. But you must have heard about Ledger, which is considered by many to be the most convenient and safest wallet. Well, the hell you have. The crooks can easily take your money from there as well.

First of all, from the obvious, you might run into a bad Ledger if you order it from God knows where. That's how they steal millions... They come to their cryptan friends' birthday parties, give them a Ledger, having learned the cid phrase beforehand, and then take all the money out of there. But that's not the point now...

!!! EthClipper attack !!!

Developers of cold wallets say in one voice that there is no way to steal your crypto when connecting the wallet even to a virus-infected computer. But there's no way... So, let's imagine that you need to transfer crypto, for example, from Ledger to your own Binance. You copied your wallet from Binance, inserted it into interface, confirmed on Ledger and waits until the money appears on the exchange. By the way, here is what the interfaces of different Hard Walets look like at the moment of transaction confirmation

You wait and wait, but the crypto doesn't come and doesn't come. And it seems that the transaction in the blockchain is already confirmed, but nothing appears on the balance. I don't want to upset you, bro, but nothing will appear there ;) Your money was stolen. How? For now just look at the picture below and try to understand something

In short... First, you catch a virus on your computer, which can even be encrypted into an ordinary .pdf file. It sits on your computer, waiting for the right moment. As soon as you're about to transfer crypto somewhere, in 99% of cases you have to copy the recipient's address from somewhere. You're not going to manually write a multisymbol wallet address. The virus sees that you have someone else's crypto-wallet on the clipboard. In a split second, it sends a request to ClipperCloud (it has a huge collection of fraudsters' wallets) and looks for a visually identical wallet in the pre-gathered database. As a rule, enough that the first and last 4-5 characters coincide with your real purse (chance that you will notice 1%). Then the clipboard is swapped, and it turns out that you insert the number of a completely different purse. And finally, unsuspecting, you confirming the transaction in Ledger and that's it... the money's gone to the scammers.

Social Engineering

Fast forward to one of the super-effective ways to get you to download that very pdf with the virus... social engineering.

Imagine that you are an ordinary office worker, an accountant in a small company, who in his spare time trades crypto and dreams of a better life.

But at one moment, you start getting cyber-bullied in all the social networks by some nonnamese person. Leaves negative comments, teases you in every way, hurts you, writes all sorts of nastiness, insults you, etc.

It would seem easy to get rid of this type, just block or ignore. But no, he creates new accounts, he already knows your phone number and spams you in messengers. He knows your address, orders all sorts of couriers to visit you late at night. In short, he doesn't let you live in peace, and you can't do anything about it. And so, you do not know where to go. You can not calmly work, rest. Your body is emotionally exhausted.

And suddenly another person writes to you, who has also encountered similar cyberbullying. At first he couldn't do anything about it either, just like you, but then he found a solution. You correspond on a common topic, you communicate, he helps you get rid of that very annoying type, there is a connection between you, the resource of trust increases. He sends you a pdf, and you download it on your computer, open it, read it, and a week later you lose your bitcoins.

Non-custodial wallets (Metamask, Trust Wallet, etc.)

Once again, an abrupt transition. Now that we've dealt with cold wallets, let's talk about ways to steal dough from non-custodial wallets.

Connecting apps(sites) with excessive permissions to use funds
Discrediting the cid-phrase
Malicious smart contract (which sets unlimited spending limit)
Notification of a fake failed transaction (due to re-signing a contract, but already fraudulent)
Counterfeit tokens on DeFi site purchases
Exploits of browser extensions (which gain control over other extensions, i.e. MetaMask, for example)

Here, in fact, are the most frequent reasons for losing money. To be honest, I don't really want to stop, because there is a lot of information about how crypto is stolen from metamask. I think everything is clear here. The main thing is to be careful and not to try to confirm on all the sites, disclose your seed-phrase, etc. from the main wallet, where there are millions.

Centralized exchanges

And here it is already much more interesting.

First, any exchange can suddenly ask for additional checks, KYC, etc. And then it may consider your account suspicious and block the withdrawal, until you provide an explanation where the balance funds come from. This fact alone can encourage many to completely refuse to use centralized exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, ByBit, etc.

If we talk about scammers, they also have a lot of ways to gain access to your account and withdraw all your money.

For example, SIM card spoofing is one of the most popular. Making a SIM Jack and getting an SMS to log in to your account at the exchange is not the most difficult task for advanced hackers. The password can be hacked or, if you use the same password on all the sites and services in a row, just find it. Email isn't hard to dig up either. And if you are good at OSINT, you'll have no problems at all with searching for information. By the way, catch HavelBeenPwned service, which you can use to check if your email is somewhere in the public domain or not.

There is also always the risk of catching a keylogger on your computer. For those in the tank, this is a virus that reads keystrokes. That is, all the logins and passwords that you will enter through the keyboard at Binance will end up in the hands of fraudsters.

A keylogger is half the trouble. They can easily throw in software that will record your screen and steal not only logins / passwords, but also all kinds of photos, videos, other personal data, etc.

It often happens that seed phrases or login-password are photographed on the iPhone or put in the notes on the iPhone. At the same time, the person has automatic synchronization with iCloud, which requires only a mail and password to hack... As you can already understand, this is not a problem at all for pro-hackers. With Google Drive and Google Docs the same song.

How to protect yourself from losing money

First, read these 25 points, going into each one.
Don't forget that blockchain.info, TrustWallet, MetaMask and other non-custodial wallets are just interfaces.
About cold wallets. Personally, I don't trust Ledger or Trezor. There is a hardcore version of BitLox Ultimate, which is literally packed with security features, passes traffic through Tor, and has several levels of encryption.
If you're going to keep billions, make a cold wallet yourself. For example, from an old smartphone. You can make a cold wallet with Electrum and let all the traffic through Tor.
Always check the contract before signing. Do not you confirm the unlimited withdrawal of crypto from the wallet, etc. Better don't use your main wallet for signing anything at all, create separate wallets for it and put small amounts there.
Don't let the device with the wallets fall into the hands of intruders physically. Or, at the very least, encrypt the drives with VeraCrypt
Always double check the address you copied to the clipboard. Clipper does not forgive mistakes.
Use OpenSource password store and OpSec services. Stay up-to-date with the latest anonymity and privacy technologies.
The easiest way is to buy a Mac. After all, 99% of malware thefts occur on Windows.

Introduction

This huge manual is a compilation of my knowledge from more than a year of working with NFT. I wrote the article alone, so omitting something is quite real and you should not judge it harshly.

In this fundamental guide you will find all the information you may be interested in, this and the ways of flips, which no one writes about, this and a guide on gas, which many have problems with, this and the contract mines, as well as many, many others, which will help you make money on the NFT.

I won't rant too much and get to the point! All of the information below is about working with NFT on the Ethereum blockchain

What is NFT?

NFT or Non-Fungible Token is a unique token that is created on a particular blockchain (ETH, Solana, Wax, etc.).

The main point of NFT is that it can't be replaced, it is unique, like a snowflake, it can't be changed without being noticed.

The main purpose of NFT is to confirm the possession of the active. Now this model is beginning to be actively used in different areas of our lives. Music, games, text, screenshots and more.

The first embryos of NFT appeared back in 2012, at that time they were "Colored Coins". At the time, these coins had several uses, including the ability to be used as collectibles. Popularity to NFTs came with CryptoPunks, which were created in 2017. By the way, they brought such a meta as 10k collections.

With the basics taken care of, now let's move on.

Types of NFTs

To begin with, let's get a sense of what NFTs are, who takes them at all, and how they are used.

I have subdivided all NFTs into conditional groups. NFTs are bought for different purposes. Someone wants to support an artist or an artist, someone wants to have unique skins or game items, someone wants to make money, that's why they can be divided into different groups.

NFT in the form of art
NFT with utilities
NFT game projects and meta universes
NFT musicians, athletes, etc.
NFT HYIP
Other NFT

Now let's break down each group individually.

NFT in the form of art

This group includes the works of famous and not only artists. These NFTs create value through their aesthetic benefit to society, as well as bringing other spiritual joy. I have, of course, described it as crudely as possible, but it is enough to understand it.

If you look at pricing, in this segment the price is proportional to the weight of the artist's name. You can be incredibly talented, but your work no one will buy if Banksy spit on the canvas and sell it as NFT, the price will be cosmic.

If you decide to sell this category, always look at the name of the artist, as well as the platform on which it is presented.

A vivid illustration of the influence of the site can be seen when referring to Art Blocks. This is the most popular NFT platform where digital art is primarily housed. Works that are sold there consistently yield X's, regardless of the author's name. Of course, you can highlight the auction houses, such as Sotheby's, but that would be superfluous, because NFT is there more for the sake of hype.

NFT with utility

These NFTs have a practical basis that helps them stay afloat and raise their price.

Such NFTs can give:

Access to a closed alpha community (e.g. Mirror Pass)
Access to a gated community (e.g. Alpha Sharks)
Opportunity to receive royalties (e.g. Kataro Sharks)
Access to software (e.g. Trait Sniper)
Other bonuses (PreMint Pass, etc.)

The main essence of these NFT - the ability to use what is available only to the holders.

NFT game projects and metaverse

There is nothing to describe here. A prime example that even your grandmother knows is the sneakers in StepN. These NFTs are needed to work with their M2E project.

If you consider a classic game project, you can take SplinterLands. There NFTs are presented as game maps that we use on the battlefield.

Taking metaverses, the first thing we look at is SandBox. There NFTs are also used in the game. These include avatars, various buildings, lands, and more.

NFT musicians, athletes, etc.

The NFT data comes from the faces of famous personalities. It's mostly a kind of merchandise. These NFTs are not very popular, so I won't focus on them.

Of course, there are exceptions in such projects, for example CryptoBatz by Ozzy Osbourne. Their creators did wisely and mixed NFT project with a big name, which in its peak led to several ethereum!

NFT HYIP

This includes the dozens of collections that come out daily. These are various copies, ripoffs, etc. They have no value, and working with them is risky enough.

Other NFTs

How do I make money at NFT?

White List

Using WL in any plane:

- Knocking out followed by selling, or minte NFT,

- Buying WL and mint NFT,

- Buying WL and reselling it.

All these options are great for beginners, because getting WL'a not associated with risks (except that 8 dollars for art), here is spent your time, not money.

Mint

Here also everything is clear, after the NFT mint we sell it more expensive in the secondary market. Of course, there are pitfalls, about which I will talk in detail further.

Flips

Buy cheap, sell expensive. That's just to make a long story short. In general, flips are different. These are flips of hype projects, flips of rare NFTs, classic flips, etc. About this I will tell in detail further.

Investments

Buying NFTs on a long-term hold. Basically we are talking about Blue chip collections, because guessing which NFT will go up from 0.001 ETH to at least 1 ETH is almost unreal.

Create a rug collection and walk off into the sunset

It's a joke, don't do that!

What is Mint, its types, ways, stages, problems.

Mint - the process of creating an NFT.

Mint comes in two varieties:

A free mint is a mint in which we do not pay the creator of the collection, but only pay a transaction fee.

A paid mint is a mint in which we pay not only a transaction fee, but also the price set by the creator of the collection.

Methods of minting

Through the website that the creators represent. We go to the page and click the "Mint" button, the contract opens, we sign it and get the NFT. This is the easiest and most common option.
Through the contract. In this case, we go to ethscan, look for a contract and mint through it. What is the advantage of this method? We do not have to wait for the opening of the site. Having a contract, we can start minting before everybody else, because before the opening of the mint and the public disclosure of the page where the minting takes place, the time passes, during which the ordinary people can not start to pollute the network. All of this will help us to mint the right amount of NFTs unhindered.

Stages of Mint

In general, mint stages are optional, depending on the creators of the collection. Their number is not regulated anywhere, but there are two standard stages that many developers use:

1) White List sale.

The WL mint stage is different in that the mint is for a separate group of people who are guaranteed a mint. As a rule, this includes people who have actively interacted with the project, winners of raffles, etc.

The main advantage of this stage is that you are guaranteed a mint, which is why the price in popular WL projects can reach several thousand and sometimes tens of thousands of dollars.

2) Public sale.

In this stage, anyone can mint an NFT.

It happens that there is only a public sale or sale only for WL, it happens that there are several stages of mint. For example, WL category 1, WL category 2, public sale.

It's also worth mentioning the restrictions on the number of NFTs you can mint. These limits are needed so that a skilled fraction of people don't mint all at once. Usually it's a few NFT per wallet or per transaction.

The mint problem on the ETH blockchain

The main problem with mint on ether is the price of transactions. They can range from $0.5 to $3k+.

And the price of gas does not depend on whether the mines are free or not. The main catalyst for the growth of commission prices is the number of transactions. The more of them, the higher the price.

That's why the cost of free mint can exceed any reasonable standard, all because of gas prices.

There is also a side problem that stems from mints through the contract. Having the latter, skilled bots can start attacking the contract and start minting even before the official announcement, thereby taking away liquidity and shedding the market.

There is no upside to this, except for one, which is a profit for the bots.

If anyone does not understand, when a significant part of NFT is redeemed, botologists go to drain everything at floor price, thereby increasing the supply, with which the current demand can not cope. This moment leads to a direct plummeting of floor price to the bottom and fading of interest in the collection (I took an example of an ordinary, not fundamental collection).

What is GAS and how much is needed?

Each ETH transaction is accompanied by a commission. This commission is called Gas.

What you need to know:

- Each transaction is accompanied by a gas.

- You can change the inputs, thereby changing the speed of your transaction

- You have two main factors to look at: Priority and Max Gwei

- If you are going to enter a high drop on a public sale, you should always count on gas war

Priority fee is a fee to the miners. The higher the priority, the faster your transaction will go through.

Important point - Do not change this value if you are not going to pay the full amount. I.e. if you set the Priority fee to 100, you will pay at least 100 gwei.

Max Gas Fee is the total fee you are willing to pay for a transaction. With this box you can play more, since it is only a limit on the amount you are willing to pay.

Why would you put a high maximum price at the mint?

If you set a low amount that you're willing to spend, and a gaswar attack occurs at the mint, your transaction will be delayed until the gas goes down.

Gas limit is better not to touch, because if you screw up there, your transaction will screw up and you will lose money (I lost $1k per transaction that way).

How much gas?

This is a very popular question that you see in any air sale.

To begin, I will write what to pay attention to when gas war

General Supply
Allocation for WL and Public Sale
Hype near the project
Is it possible to mine through the contract. If it is possible, then most likely most of it will be taken out by bots.
At projected or existing price
How much are you willing to pay
How much are you willing to lose
Do you have a chance to take

That is, if there is a public sale at free mint, where NFT is trading at 2 ether, and you have 0.1 ETH for gas. Here you should think about the flop and most likely skip.

What should I pay attention to when setting the gas?

Is the contract available?
Did WL have a mint? If so, see how much they paid for gas
NFT's current price.

Tips

Priority Gas is a key factor in miners
Miners give priority to people who have the highest priority gwei
Private nodes are your friend
Set gwei which is not a multiple of 10 / 5. I.e. better 1001 than 1000

How do I pre-set the gas in metamask?

- Go to settings and click "Experimental".

- Turn on Enhanced Gas Fee UI

- Now send yourself a transaction with zero ether (0.00001)

- Press Market and go to Advanced

- Set up the gas you want and click "Save"

At the end don't forget to change the gas back, otherwise you will pay a higher amount for a regular transfer.

How do you contract mint?

Why contract mint? I have already described, but I'll say it again. There are different occasions, the site where mint are held, may lie, the administration hesitates and send the link later than planned, but the mint will open in time, etc. In all these cases, you can not get the cherished NFT, unlike those who minted on the contract.

First you need to find a contract. Usually it can be found through the OpenSea or social networks - twitter / discord

Now that you have a contract, go to Ethetscan and go to the tab "Contract", "Write Contract"

Do not forget to connect your MetaMask, using the "Connect to Web3" button

Now look for something similar to "mint" / "public mint". In this case, the mint was located in the tab "spawnInfernal" (line 8)

spawninfernal - price
spawns - number of nft

In this line we need to put the data, namely the price of the mint, as well as the number of NFT that we plan to buy.

PayableAmount (ether) - ether, which we will spend on the mint. If the cost of a mint is higher than zero and you are going to mint several pieces, then multiply the cost of the mint.

Example: the price of a mint is 0.1 ETH, you are minting 2 NFT. 0.1*2=0.2 ETH. Write 0.2 or .2 (to your taste)

numberOfTokens (uint256) - this is number of nft, you are going to take. There is no need to be clever here, so just put the number you are going to mint.

These data we find out in advance on the site, or in social networks.

Press "Write", if you have done everything correctly, the window MetaMask will appear. There are two options here. If you get inadequate gas (several thousand dollars), it means that the mint has not yet started and you need to wait. If the price is adequate, then we confirm the contract and wait for the coveted NFT in your inventory.

Sometimes it happens that the developers put protection in the form of "signature", it means that ordinary mortals through the contract can not mint.

Marketplaces

There are several basic marketplaces that are used when working with the secondary market.

OpenSea

It's worth starting with the largest secondary NFT marketplace, OpenSea. This site was the first to successfully start providing NFT listing services for sale. Due to the fact that it used to be the only marketplace, the site allowed itself a lot of bad things.

Frequent complaints about bugs, server outages, deleting collections for no reason, poor support, as well as a bunch of other problems were simply not solved, because they were the only one.

Now they have started to move and updated the design, added support for other networks, but the problem of monopoly is still there.

LooksRare

Marketplace, which tried to remove OS from the throne, but it did not work. The main problem was that the site could only use WETH, ETH was not quoted. The site also tried to lure with their token, but it didn't work out because people simply abused the coin scheme, which led to the collapse.

Now the site remains in the outsiders, giving way to popularity and convenience.

X2Y2

Marketplace distinguished by its low commissions, as well as the presence of its own token, which is issued for the use of their site.

The low commissions are not an empty sound. The marketplace takes 0.5% of the cost, and the royalty of the author on HYIP collections is often equal to 0%, which makes the site ideal for flips.

What to choose?

It all depends on you and your goals, if you want a quick flip, then choose OS, if you want to get more profits, then choose LR or X2Y2. For buying cheap NFTs, it is also better to go to them.

Useful tools

No matter how experienced you are in the nft field, it's almost impossible to do anything without tools. I'm talking about flips now. Looking for projects on Twitter and farming WL in them, no one is still stopping you.

What useful tools are there?

Minter bots

These are bots whose main purpose is to mint the NFT. No matter how fast your pens are, bots will always make it faster.

Analytical services

This is something without which a successful flip is maximally difficult to do. Such tools show all the information that can come in handy. This includes sales charts, sales walls, current listings and their correlation to sales and much more.

Sniper Bots

Snipers are bots that help you redeem rare NFTs first. These bots are popular during collection revivals, when you need to quickly find the top rank for a cheap price.

Wallet trackers

This is one of my favorite tools lately. This bot helps you keep track of the wallets you are interested in. Such tools are useful because quite often degens and whales buy this or that collection by insider information.

Also, quite often it happens that the owners of such wallets take advantage of their position and make a pump n dump of the collection.

Other tools

Above were described tools that help with flips. In addition to the above, there are third-party tools that make life easier. For example, Twitter tracker. It helps track activity on wallets. I.e. we can see which account is popular now. This is useful for buying HYIP projects or for tracking interesting projects or personalities.

White List and what to do with it?

WL, many people start earning their first money thanks to the white list.

The ways of earning, I have already described, are:

- Knocking out with subsequent sale, or NFT mints,

- Buying WL and NFT mints,

- Buying WL and reselling it.

No one has a problem with that. So how do you get these whitelists?

I can only give you a general outline here:

Be active in chat, don't spam, but participate in the dialogue. Of course, in eng chats, because in others it's much harder to get
Show initiative, organize games, events, etc.
Draw or buy art, make figurines, make stickers and hang them around town, etc.
Communicate with moderators or admins
Participate in drawings held on Twitter and other platforms (Premint, etc.)

Once again, these are general provisions that can help you get a WL. Every project needs to come up with something different.

Safety when buying

An important factor is safety when buying / selling WL's. Often scammers like to take advantage of inexperienced participants in this relationship. Below is a list of popular scams that can lead to loss of money or WL.

Fake Guarantors.

You agree with the person to buy / sell and he offers his guarantor. There are two options for scam:

1) You are offered a guarantor of some unknown site, with a cheated audience.
2) Creates a group with fake guarantor verified site.

They ask for a nickname to verify

In this case, people will ask for the nickname of the account, which received WL, to send information about the sale administration and get loyalty and WL. In this case you get banned and you are left with empty pockets.

After the purchase, the data are leaked to the administration

This happens rarely, but it does happen. After the sale, information about the account is leaked to the administration and you get a ban, and the perpetrator returns his WL and stays with the money.

To avoid this, you must always be careful, as well as use a proven site. I also recommend working with guarantors who are over the age of 18, because underage people like to make up rules and leave their account and money with them.

How do I make money with Mint?

In fact, this is the easiest way to make money on NFT and there is nothing to tell about it.

You can participate in both paid and free mints, it all depends on your bank. When participating in any mint you should consider the interest of the public, because if you underestimate it, you can spend on commission more than you get when selling.

Also, if you're going to mint with purchased WL, then calculate the minimum NFT value, which can get you a profit, otherwise you risk losing money.

In general, any ultimatum advice is not, for here everything is simple, the price of mint should not exceed the current value of NFT on the secondary market or its projected value, if this happens, then the mines skip.

Earnings on the flip

There are many kinds of flips, here I will try to describe in detail all the types that I know.

The main essence of flip - buy cheap and sell expensive, ie classic speculation, only in WEB3

Flip Rare NFTs

Many people know about the flip and often practice it, but often everything is limited to buying nft for cheap and selling for more. There is nothing wrong with that, but in order to increase your earnings you need to grasp new heights.

Now I'm going to talk about rare nft flips. Where to look for rare nft, at what price and where to buy, how to buy, etc.

I'll start with the basics, namely why do we flip on rare nfts and who is it good for?

Flips on rare nfts is one of the easiest ways to farm money. This is due to the fact that working with a collection where the floor price has not moved for a long time, you can still make money on it. This way of flipping is suitable for people of different bank. It doesn't matter if you have $100 or $10,000 in your wallet. You will always be able to find a collection that works for you.

Where do I look for flip collections?

It all depends on your bank. If you have enough money, then go to OS and see what's at the top, choose a suitable collection and start conjuring.

If you don't have an extensive bank or there's nothing suitable in OS top, then go to AlphaShark and look for suitable options there.

What collection is suitable for us?

The most important thing - the presence of activity, because it is our main weapon. The more active the collection, the easier to catch rare NFTs on the cheap, as well as easier to sell them at a higher price.

How to catch rare nft?

You can use separate utilities, like "HowRare", which show the rarity of nft, but this is all masochism. The easiest way is to use TraitSniper.

There you can set up settings that will show you nfts with the top 10% rank, as well as the minimum price.

But there is one problem, the free version does not automatically update the table and we have to reload it every time. Since this is quite a nuisance, we will use another option.

On the right side we have another table with the latest sales / listings. This will help us.

We select the tab "Listing" and start watching.

At what price to take and sell?

There is no universal formula for all groups of nft, so I'll take the teer2 - teer3 categories and show by their example.

I was monitoring AlphaShark and saw high activity on this collection. Having entered OS, I found a segment from 0.006 to 0.01 Eth, in which the floor price fluctuates, with the price of rare nft starting from 0.015. I immediately decided to take advantage of this opportunity.

Such collections should always be taken at floor price, or with minimal markup, of course, taking into account the floor price on rare nfts.

As a result, using AlphaSharks + TraitSniper, I was able to raise several hundred dollars, minding my own business and occasionally glancing at the second monitor.

The time/reward ratio is excellent.

Of course, there's a risk involved, because if you get into a questionable collection at over-price you might end up in the red, so always count on the possibility of rekt

But if you did everything right and took at floor price, then the chance of rekt will be minimal, because in the worst case you sell at 0 or - a couple of dollars.

Conclusion

Here I did not delve into flips of expensive collections, because most of my people sit with the bank, which does not yet allow to flip the same BAYC.

But the provided information is enough to loot your profits on the tir2 - tir3 collections.

Earnings on pump

We are going to talk about Pump and dump. You've definitely heard of some Influencer who's been pumping this or that coin and then unloading it on other people. We'll be doing about the same thing.

Only we will act as vultures who eat up after others.

Let me tell you right away that this is a very risky topic, because it is as easy to lose as to make money.

Let me get to the point. We ourselves will not pump anything, because the audience we have no, and in general, we are nobody. Our goal - to enter with other popular pumpers. How do we do this?

We will use wallet trackers.

What are the principles of pump and how is it defined?

Low supply. Mostly use projects with low supply, up to 1k, rarely up to 2k.
Small wall. This means that FP is very flimsy and it is enough to sell 10 NFTs for a conditional x2
Small volumes. It's simple, the lower the volume of sales, the easier it will be to unload the instigators.
Low price. Usually select projects with a price of up to 0.01 ETH.

When we see a match on these points, we can think about a fly-in. I advise to do this if the price is not higher than 20% of the purchase price of the pumper.

This is due to the fact that as a rule the pamp is made to x2, and then there is unloading.

An example of such a pamp is "A FIRE BURNS (https://opensea.io/collection/a-fire-burns/activity)". Pamped by mikesnft.eth.

At that time it was possible to buy at 0.02 and sell in 10 minutes at 0.04.

If you're going to do it, always consider the OS commission and gas prices. By the way, you can bypass the OS commission by using x2y2

Buying on orders

The OS has an option to buy NFTs not only at market price, but also on demand. For each NFT, you can make an offer at which you are willing to buy the NFT.

For example, the market price of an NFT is 1 ETH, you make an order that you are willing to buy for 0.8 ETH. The person agrees, thereby you obtain the desired asset 20% cheaper, after which you sell it at floor price and receive your profit.

The scheme itself is simple, but it works.

How it can be upgraded? Here it's up to you. One of the most obvious ways is to speculate on a popular collection. You can place orders on OS at 20% below the market value and sell at X2Y2 without commission.

It's all up to you and your ingenuity!

Flips on the news

One of the safest ways to flip. The idea is that on the basis of some news we buy some asset and sell it at the flip.

The news can be anything, it can be a collaboration with a major project, it can be an investment attraction, it can be the purchase of a collection by a major company, etc. etc.

The difficulty is that you need to keep track of the collection or other projects, but it always pays off.

Flips on correction

It will not be a secret to you that no asset can grow forever, someday the moment of correction will come. This is due to the dominance of supply over demand.

This method is risky and will not suit everyone, because many collections after the first peak, roll back to the bottom and it is quite difficult to catch the necessary iks.

The essence is simple as hell. When we start to observe a local decline in interest in the collection, and hence the FP, we begin to think about buying NFT. How properly the price drops by 30% to 50%.

If you see a similar drawdown and are confident in the project, then you can repurchase, do not forget to look for a better price on other sites.

General Flip Rules

Common supply. The higher the supply, the riskier the flip.
Hype and its quality near the project. By quality hype I mean its origin. There is a hype, which is formed due to the fact that the collection cooperates with a fundamental project or a blue chip, and there is a hype, which is obtained through a huge amount of advertising and accrual.
% of Unique Holders. The higher the % of unique holders, the better, because concentrating a large number of NFTs in the hands of a small number of people can lead to a quick dump of the collection.
Total sales per day.
Total commission.
Sales Wall.
Number of listings for a certain period.

Tips

- Do not flip overhype projects if you have little experience and a small bank. It's fraught with the risk of losing money.

- Use a fictitious balance.

By this I mean that you will mentally buy this or that asset, and then look at the result.

It will not replace real experience, because the same moment of transaction fails, the fact that you will not buy NFT for a long time can not be predicted, but thinly or thinly to improve the skills will help.

- Allocate to the flip the amount you are willing to lose.

This will help you to lose more easily and not to lose all the money, as well as easier to deal with defeats in the flipper field.

The final admonitions, which are written in blood

To begin with, all the advice presented here is written "in blood. If there is advice here, it is for a reason. Either I or someone I know has fallen for it and gone negative.

That is why I strongly advise you to read this part, because it will help you save the bank in times of need.

And everyone knows from childhood that fools learn from their mistakes, and smart - from others.

Also, let me remind you that 99% of the time, the flip is a fool's game, where every buyer thinks there will be a new hamster who will buy their nft at a higher price.

Always think for yourself

A rule that many people neglect, even though they realize that they make a mistake by flying into another noname topic on the advice of another crypto admin. It has to do with the same fomo and desire to make quick money. This is often seen in flips on solana.

Some channel drops information about the collection and the call to buy it. The person, going to the market, sees that the FP has increased by a few percent since the post was dropped. With the desire to earn more, he does not hesitate to buy nft. As a result, 10 minutes later FP increased by several tens of percents and the hamster will run to fix the negative profit.

To avoid such situations, you should ALWAYS use your head. No matter how unrealistic the dealer may be in telling you about the purchase, you must first recheck the project yourself, make sure it is good, recheck it again and only then decide to buy.

Don't flip in the tilt

A basic rule of thumb that gets nailed down anyway. Being in a tilt, the flip turns into a casino, not a way to make money. You start flying into everything, thinking that you're sure to flip in the plus, but in fact it turns out that you become the last fool and everyone closes in on you.

Remember, I wrote about how all advice is written in blood. I realized this on myself, when I bought C-01 for 2 Ether, and next day sold it for 1.44 ETH, losing about 3k$ on it. At that point I thought my best bet would be to buy NFT for overpriced. Even though I knew it was a horrible collection and would sell out in a matter of days, I understood that and told others, but I didn't listen to myself and bought it.

If there had been someone to tell me not to do that, I would have had money and nerve cells, but what happened is what happened.

Set sales limits

What are the limits? We're not in the futures market. That's right, we're not in futures, but we're still in a market where you have to put limits. Let me explain what I mean by that.

Before you buy an NFT (or other asset) you must set a limit, beyond which you will liquidate your position. You should know in advance what price of elimination is appropriate for you, that is how much in the red you are ready to go. Calculate the maximum price you are ready to lose.

Also set a profit limit. No matter how it sounds. Why set some profit limits, if you can catch the high? That's one of the main mistakes flippers make - they go down in losses, even though they could have fixed x's. Such limits should be set in order to find oneself in the plus. The most important thing is to keep your LIMITS in check!

Before you buy an NFT, you choose the approximate profit you want to make. After reaching and exceeding this goal, you begin to have thoughts in your head: "Maybe you should wait a little longer. I wanted x2, and I already have x2.2, now I'll wait for x3 and I'll definitely sell. This is where you fall into the trap. Often, I would even say in most cases, this leads to a zero or negative flip.

This is due to your greed, while you're watching your unfixed x's, the tipping point will happen, when the FP starts to fall, but you can't sell anymore, because FOMO. A couple of minutes you had x2.3 from your investment, and now it's only x1.8. You start to get worked up and think that your asset will grow, but in the end you sell your nft at 0 or minus.

Again, this is not taken from my head. I myself have fallen into such a trap many times, mostly it was on solana, because there are most of these instant flips. As a recent example, I may take Saudis, when I set 1.5, maximum 1.6 ETH. I missed it and flopped 1.7 ETH. I decided to be greedy and wait for 2 ether, as a result saud flew below my goal.

I believe that limits and following them is one of the most important, if not the most important advice you can take away from this article. If you follow your goals, neither your psyche nor your balance will fly into tatters.

Don't give in to vanity

I got burned on this, and very badly, so this point should be read very carefully.

You are happy with your success, you can start to fly into everything, thinking that it will be another easy profit, but something unimaginable happens and the project rekt or even crashes. But you do not pay attention to this and continue to fly into everything, this is not your fault, but the project is bad. Finishing a month, you realize that you have lost a significant part of the bank. Well, after that you start to flip in the tilt and that's it...

Again, these are not made up stories. I myself fell into such a trap and lost a significant portion of the pot.

If you're starting to see things like that, sit down and analyze the situation. Analyze the projects you've already lost because of your "flippancy", and find the red flags that were there, but you didn't pay attention to them. Work on your mistakes and you'll be happy.

Use other sites

Many people who flip use only the main platforms. If ether, then only OpenSea, if solana, then MagicEden, old-timers go to Solanart.

Although most have a clue about the other platforms. For example, there is x2y2 on ether network (We managed to get free money from them) with zero commissions. And there is CoralCube on solana, where nft list earlier than on ME. Also, they show the best price there, considering the listings on ME.

Using other venues helps to maximize your profits. When selling or buying nft all you have to do is compare prices on all popular sites and choose the best price. I've made more than a thousand dollars by doing this.

A prime example would be the HypeBears sale. At 1.3 ETH on OS, I was able to sell for 2 ETH on LooksRare.

This can be used not only for selling, but also for buying. Essentially you can arbitrage nft. Buying on conditional ME for x $SOL, and selling on OS for FP and get your profits.

Work on the basis of your bank

This is a universal rule that applies to many areas related to finance.

But if you take the nft field specifically, you should always consider your bank and choose your flip network based on that. Let me explain what I mean by that in a moment.

If your bank is less than a thousand dollars, it is better to stay on solana, for there are small gas prices and also nft is not so expensive. I don't take into account the tier 1 collections like DeGods. If you take the average projects that are coming out now, the price of a mint rarely gets to 2 SOL. On average, it's 1 SOL or $30. If the flip or mint fails, you'll lose a couple dozen % (if you didn't take an outright scam) or a few $.

If you go for ether, immediately count on commissions equal to $20-50 per mint (if the collection has a HYIP) and $5-10 per listing. If you want to accept an offer, it's another $5-10.

That's not so rosy anymore, is it? And that's just gas prices. Factor in the fact that your flip might not work out. And by buying an nft for $300 you'll not only go down selling at - but you'll also give up 2.5% to the site and 5-10% royalties to the author.

In the end, you could end up putting out the nft for the same amount as you bought it for, you will lose $30-50.

It's also worth mentioning a trivial point. If you have a pot of $500, then you shouldn't buy an nft for $400, because you will lose a huge part of your pot, and you obviously don't need it.

Metaverse: hype or our future?

2022-10-06T08:08:31.531Z

The term "metaverse" first appeared in 1992 in the science fiction novel Snow Crash.

Defining its meaning is a very difficult task. To give you an idea of how vague the meaning of the word is, do the following exercise: in any sentence, replace "metaverse" with "cyberspace. Ninety percent of the time, the meaning of the sentence will not change.

This is because the term does not refer to any particular type of technology, but rather to a broad (and often speculative) notion of how we interact with technology.

What is the metaverse?

Metaverse is a permanent virtual space that people can interact with through their avatars.

Metaverses can include:

A virtual reality with permanent game worlds that continue to exist even when you're not playing them.
Augmented reality, which combines aspects of the digital and physical world.
Any other digital worlds that can be accessed without VR and AR.

The metaverse also has a kind of digital economy, where users can create, buy, and sell goods.

In a more idealistic representation of metaverse, it is interoperable, i.e., it allows virtual items such as clothes or cars to be transferred from one platform to another.

There are already examples of detached metaverses.

For example, there is the game World of Warcraft - a permanent virtual world where players can buy and sell goods. Or Fortnite, where concerts and other virtual events take place all the time.

You can also put on an Oculus headset and be in your own personal virtual home."

Initially, the word "metaverse" did not mean fragmented worlds, but a single virtual space, with a seamless transition between platforms.

In that case, saying that Fortnite is a "metaverse" is the same as saying that Google is the "Internet. They are only parts of a whole.

In sum, the term "metaverse" means both a single virtual world for all of humanity and separate fragmented parts of digital reality.

The Role of Blockchain in Metaverse

It is largely thanks to cryptocurrencies and NFT that there was a big hype around this topic. So why is blockchain so well suited to the idea of the metaverse?

Well, first of all, every metaverse has its own economy. And a very handy feature is a direct link between the internal economy of the metaverse and the global market. This is where blockchain technology, and more precisely the cryptocurrency market as an intermediary, can help.

And secondly, the main problem in creating metaverses is the realization of the universality of objects. If you can't create a single metaverse, then instead there will be many separate ones. And for them to be able to exchange items between them, they need a single platform and item format. Blockchain can become this platform, and NFT can become the object format.

Examples of individual metaverses

Theta Network

The Theta Network is a turnkey infrastructure that allows you to run any project in the metaverse. The resources of the platform allow creating special assets and storing them in the NFT format. A promising way to develop Theta Network, is to sign a partnership agreement with Decentraland or Sandbox.

The Sandbox

A metaverse developed on the Ethereum blockchain. The prospect of the project is due to the start of open testing of the virtual reality platform. The user content ecosystem has its own NFT trading platform and gaming platform.

Decentraland

This is one of the first projects launched in 2017 to create a decentralized virtual reality platform on the Ethereum blockchain. The user here is able to acquire land and create artwork.

Bloktopia

Despite the young age of the Bloktopia project, it has already managed to attract the interest of high-level investors (for example, Animoca Brands), as well as get the support of several exchanges (OKEx, KuCoin).

Why a "universal metaverse" is impossible

All of what is now called the metaverse is just a parody of the idea that the word originally carried. There is no full immersion, no unified economy, even an open and content-filled world is often missing.

At this stage of humanity's technological development, we cannot create a full-fledged metaverse, as it appears in fantasies. And here are the reasons:

NFT is not the answer.

In an ideal representation of the meta universe, it is interoperable. That is, it allows you to transfer virtual items, such as clothes or cars, from one platform to another.

But the process is more complicated than it seems. Some argue that NFT technology may be able to solve this problem. However, this is simply not true, and transferring elements from one video game or virtual world to another is an extremely difficult task that no company can solve right now.

The complexity of interaction between companies
As much as we would like to, the realization of the idea of a single metaworld, such as the one presented in the movie "First Player Standby", is currently impossible.

This is partly because creating such a world requires companies to collaborate, which is simply not profitable or desirable.

For example, Fortinte has little motivation to provide a portal for players to go directly to World of Warcraft, even if it could easily be done.

Low processing power

Although Intel is quite optimistic about the idea of a metaverse, it also states that there is not enough computing power to implement this idea.

"The metaverse could be the next big platform for computing after the World Wide Web and mobile devices. But our current computing and networking infrastructure is simply not enough to realize this vision. We need 1,000 times more power than our current collective computing power."

Limitations of the headset

When tech companies like Microsoft or Meta show artistic videos about their vision of the future, they often tend to be silent about how people will interact with the metaverse.

VR headsets are still very clunky, and most people experience motion sickness or physical pain if they wear them for too long.

Augmented reality glasses face a similar problem, in addition to the problem of how people can wear them in public without looking weird.

There are also virtual reality accessibility issues that many companies have not yet addressed.

Hype is no guarantee of success

In the months since Facebook rebranded itself as Meta, the "metaverse" concept has served as a powerful vehicle for capturing the imagination of speculative investors.

But money pouring into the idea doesn't necessarily mean that a massive paradigm shift is just around the corner, as everything from 3D TVs to Amazon delivery drones to Google Glass can attest.

The history of technology is strewn with skeletons of failed investments.

Problems in the Real World

And finally, the question that many miss when parsing the idea of a metaverse: what will become of reality when some people leave it for another world?

Are we out of crises? We don't have food shortages in the third world? We don't have pollution? We don't have wars?

We have to deal with this world first before we can go to another world.

Hope?

Unfortunately or fortunately, it is now impossible to create a single metaverse where we could go at night while wearing VR glasses. But maybe our grandchildren, or maybe our children, will be able to see this idea come to fruition.

For now, all we can do is watch individual companies realize their idea of what a "metaverse" should look like.
