It has been almost a month since I joined the VIRTUALS ecosystem. Today, I want to do a brief review and summary, as well as share some recent goals. [Financial Status Review] When it comes to the most concerning profit issue, it has not actually achieved profitability so far. Although it once reached twice the principal on paper, these earnings are difficult to realize due to restrictions such as the staking mechanism and selling penalties. As the overall market sentiment has turned bearish, the price of VIRTUAL has dropped from $2.1 when I initially participated to $1.55, and various Agents within the ecosystem have also adjusted accordingly. Overall, I invested about $1300-$1400, and the current value is roughly the same. Among them, $VADER accounts for a significant portion, and despite some pullback, it remains profitable. The most noticeable losses are from the SOLACE and VIRGEN purchased on the secondary market, but since I adopted a small-scale ($100) diversified investment strategy, the overall losses are limited. Although the multiples of early participating projects have decreased, they are still in a profitable state. Fortunately, I turned to the "content creation" strategy earlier, giving up on studying the complex mechanisms of DAB and instead focusing on developing influence on Twitter. Luckily, I participated in the YAPPING event of VaderResearch from day one, adhering to the mindset of "earning more is a day gained." [About New User Entry] From a personal perspective, I believe this ecosystem is worth participating in, as I have met many like-minded partners during the process. I especially recommend those who are willing to create content daily to stake Vader_AI and join Vader Yapping, as it seems to offer a good cost-performance ratio. If you want to seek higher returns by acquiring a large amount of DAB points, you will need more capital investment, and the learning curve is quite steep. Since I have already given up on this route, I don't have much advice to share on this. [Recent Plan] I will continue to focus on content creation, and I am already seeing some results. Whether it's meeting new partners or the growth of Yaps scores, the results are starting to show. When I see my creations being appreciated and shared, I do feel a sense of accomplishment. The exposure of content is also steadily increasing, from initially only 10-20 views per article, now it can reach hundreds. Another goal is to explore ecological content from multiple perspectives, and the effects are gradually becoming apparent. I found that some of the viewpoints I share are quite innovative in the Chinese community, and shortly after I published them, I noticed other creators adopting similar angles. Although they may not directly mention me, it is still gratifying to see these perspectives help community members. At the same time, I am also improving my visual presentation skills. Initially, I had no idea how to create graphics, but after realizing the importance of accompanying images, I began to self-learn and gradually gained appreciation from others. I also encouraged other friends to learn graphic design together, and I feel very pleased to see everyone progress from casual images to now creating beautiful works. My next plan is to learn how to make short videos to accompany articles. [Personal Insights] Currently, the feeling is that it's indeed not easy to integrate into the Twitter community. I haven't joined any specific VIRTUALS groups, and the existing small group is limited to myself and a few friends participating together, so I mostly rely on my own research and exploration. The last time I was so invested in an ecosystem dates back to the rise of SEI NFTs at the beginning of last year. At that time, communication on Twitter seemed easier, and even well-known figures within the ecosystem were more approachable, making interactions like commenting, engaging, and following each other feel more natural. Interacting with them feels more difficult now. Although some well-known creators remain approachable, there is indeed a certain threshold overall. But that's okay; just focus on doing your own thing. My philosophy is to expand my network, whether the other party is a well-known creator or a newcomer, or even users participating in the ecosystem who do not operate Twitter. I will respond seriously to every question and even engage in in-depth communication through private messages, with no neglect due to a small user base. Finally, this reminds me of "Ready Player One" (, a movie that I really like. Just like the protagonist in the film, even as a "lone wolf", one can encounter like-minded individuals on the journey and achieve success through personal effort. Let's cheer together!

The most terrifying thing in the crypto world is not getting liquidated itself, but the mentality of still harboring luck after being liquidated, wanting to turn things around but finding no correct direction. I once lost over 100,000 in the cryptocurrency market, and my account was almost wiped out overnight, leaving only 1000 USDT. Every time I see this number, I can only stare blankly at the screen, not even daring to open the trading software. That period felt like a year, I was constantly stopping losses even in my dreams. The first thing I did every morning was check the candlestick chart, and the situation just kept getting worse. I am completely numb, and my family also suggests that I give up, believing that the entire digital currency market is a scam. But when you are unwilling to accept it in your heart, you always want to try one more time to turn the situation around. 1000 USDT, not too much and not too little. I told myself, this is the last opportunity, I can no longer take blind risks, I must change my trading strategy and mindset. After that, I completely changed my trading style: no longer going all-in, no longer blindly over-leveraging, no longer trading in sideways markets, and only focusing on high win-rate small-scale trend trades. My first trade was to follow the bullish trend on the Bitcoin 4-hour chart, taking a light position for a trial trade, making a small profit of 20%. I started to only participate in market movements that I truly understood. The core of doubling funds is not frequent trading, but rather grasping the "sense of rhythm"; every trade requires strategic thinking and cannot be rushed. Through 17 days of patient accumulation, I grew from 1000 USDT to 5000 USDT. During this period, I also experienced drawdowns, but I always adhered to a core principle: only use one-third of the capital to enter each time, with the remaining funds as a risk control buffer, and only use the profit portion to increase my position. Some people think this is just luck, but behind it are countless meticulous operational decisions — position allocation methods, entry point selection, when to be in cash and take a break, etc. If you do not understand these, even if you are given 10000USDT, you will get liquidated again. Later, a trader asked me how this trading method was formed. I replied: If you really want to achieve financial turnaround, don't blindly follow others' trading signals. The market has opportunities every day, but we only have one life. If your current situation is similar to mine back then, with little left in your account, there's no need to be too discouraged. There is a way to turn things around; it's just that no one is guiding you on how to move forward, and you need to explore and find it yourself.

According to former U.S. Treasury Secretary Summers, despite Trump's frequent public criticism of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell for not dropping interest rates, this may actually be a political strategy aimed at finding a scapegoat in advance for a potential economic downturn. Summers analyzes that while Trump currently holds a critical view of the Federal Reserve's policies, when it comes to actually choosing Powell's successor, he is likely to lean towards appointing a professional recognized by the financial markets, rather than a radical figure, primarily to avoid unnecessary fluctuations and uncertainties in the market. This perspective reveals the potential disparity between political rhetoric and actual policy choices, and reflects the importance of maintaining financial market stability for any government. Historical experience shows that even leaders who emphasize change often take a relatively conservative stance when it comes to appointments to core positions in the financial system, which may be the basis of Summers' predictions. Overall, this practice of balancing political positions with market stability may become a key consideration in the future leadership transitions of The Federal Reserve (FED).

Recent intelligence shows that there has been a significant shift in the international situation, with Trump expressing a willingness to negotiate. At the same time, Iran's negotiation aircraft has landed in Oman, and reports indicate that China and Russia are working to prevent the U.S. from launching military strikes against Iran. Meanwhile, Israel claims to have successfully destroyed facilities of the Iranian Ministry of the Interior, and the underground command center of Iran's Supreme Leader is reportedly also under airstrike. The U.S. military has deployed two aircraft carrier strike groups and about 400 aircraft in the Middle East, and observers believe next week will be a critical moment for the situation in Iran. Analysts expect that, as a result, the market's sluggish state may last for about two more days, with a potential formation of a temporary bottom on the 21st to 22nd. Cautious investors may choose to wait and observe. It is worth noting that on the afternoon of the 20th, Bitcoin suddenly surged over 2000 points at 1 PM, then maintained a sideways consolidation at a high level, showing an upward momentum. However, just one hour later, Bitcoin sharply dropped over 4200 points, demonstrating extremely high market volatility. The key factor in the market currently remains the development of the situation in the Middle East, which constitutes the greatest uncertain variable. For investors with limited risk tolerance, it is advisable to adopt a wait-and-see attitude until the overall trend becomes clearer.
