1. Can you introduce yourself first?
Hello everyone, I am Ling Ge, a seller with 10 years of e-commerce experience. I have 5 years of e-commerce training experience and have helped more than 30 friends and relatives set up e-commerce stores. In 2013, I obtained the Alibaba platform specialist certification, and in 2015 I became an author of Qianniu Headline. In 2017, I entered the crypto bull market and became a crypto investor.
2. Can you tell us about your past experiences?
In 2015, I accidentally learned about the cryptocurrency BTC. At that time, Satoshi Nakamoto created BTC to solve the 2008 financial crisis, and I thought its concept was very good. Later, I searched for many articles about BTC online, most of which were negative news, saying that BTC was a scam, a Ponzi scheme, had no value, and was extremely risky. At the time, e-commerce was developing rapidly, and my business was doing well, so I didn't participate in crypto investment.
Until 2017, BTC entered a bull market, with the price soaring from $1,000 to nearly $20,000. I really regretted not getting in earlier. Later, I got to know some successful e-commerce sellers who were also very optimistic about BTC's prospects. So in 2017, at the peak of the bull market, I jumped in and became a member of Shan Ding Capital. After several bull markets, my investment has now achieved stable returns.
Core content: In 2015, I first encountered BTC, was attracted by its concept, but did not participate in investment due to negative news and the rapid development of my e-commerce business.

Later, after getting to know some successful e-commerce sellers, I invested during the bull market and became a member of Shan Ding Capital. Currently, my investment has achieved stable returns.
3. What are you currently doing?
Currently, my main time is still focused on e-commerce, which provides me with a stable cash flow. A portion of the income will be used for long-term investment in cryptocurrencies, and a small portion will be used to participate in on-chain meme projects, hoping to achieve 10x or 100x returns. In the remaining time, I will delve into some early blockchain projects, find good projects, participate in airdrops with multiple accounts, and then share some interaction strategies and tutorials on social platforms.

A portion of the income is used for BTC investment, and another portion is used for high-risk on-chain meme projects, hoping to achieve high returns. At the same time, I delve into early blockchain projects to participate in airdrops, and share interaction strategies and tutorials, and play some GameFi in my spare time for entertainment and additional income.
4. What are your most unforgettable experiences in web3?
I entered the crypto market at the peak of the 2017 bull market, and at the time I didn't have much experience, basically a newbie. I joined many paid communities. At that time, BTC had risen a lot, so I felt that altcoins had a lot of room for growth, so I used most of my investment funds to buy these altcoins, and my friends in the group were also very optimistic, so I held on to them, and now they have basically all gone to zero.
I also participated in some contract trading, and the investment during that period can be said to have made me terrified, unable to eat or sleep well, and I didn't know how to read the K-line, so I just felt that if it had risen too much, it must fall, and if it had fallen too much, it must rise, and the result was that the capital I invested was almost gone. At that time, I felt that cryptocurrencies were almost like scams, and the money I invested was mostly wasted.
Later, I analyzed the reasons for my losses and made a summary, and then formulated some investment strategies. Through continuous summarization of experience, I gradually realized stable returns. And in the 2021 bull market, I seized an opportunity, not only making up for the previous losses, but also making a profit of dozens of times.

5. What Web3 tracks do you think have development potential?
The crypto market is still in the early-to-mid stage, and although some cryptocurrencies have already risen a lot, they have not yet been widely adopted, and new tracks emerge every year during the bull market. Currently, I am more optimistic about the AI, dePIN, and GameFi tracks.
AI is the greatest productivity of the future, with great potential and popularity; dePIN has high practical value, such as sharing idle home networks and mining home appliances; I have always been optimistic about GameFi, and also made some money in the previous GameFi bull market, such as MANA, SAND, AXS, GALA, etc., although they have fallen a lot now, but traditional games have many drawbacks, with serious centralization, and the maximum benefit only goes to the platform, while GameFi converts the benefits to the users, allowing them to earn money while playing, which is very attractive, although most games are still Ponzi schemes now and not fun, if there are new economic systems and high playability, I will definitely participate in the early stage, I have already participated in seraph and oneness.
Core content: I am optimistic about the AI, dePIN, and GameFi tracks. AI is seen as the greatest productivity of the future, and dePIN has practical value but has not yet been widely promoted. GameFi is attractive as it distributes benefits to players, breaking the centralization drawbacks of traditional games. Although many current GameFi projects are Ponzi schemes, games with new economic systems and high playability are still worth attention, and I have participated in seraph and oneness.
6. What are you planning to do now?
Recently, I have been optimizing my investment strategy, because the narrative is changing, the market is changing, for example, previously everyone believed in VC, and the valuation was determined by financing, but now people are disappointed with VC and very optimistic about MEME coins, so I need to adjust my investment strategy according to market changes, learn more about the experience of playing MEME and on-chain meme to improve my profitability, although airdrops are becoming more and more competitive, they are still relatively suitable for people with little capital but a lot of time, I will also continue to do airdrops in my spare time and share on social platforms and communities.
If the market is good in the future, I will accumulate more capital, focus on my child's education, and optimize my time management to reduce working hours and increase returns, so that I can spend more time doing what I like!
Core content: I am adjusting my investment strategy to follow market changes, shifting focus from VC to MEME coins and airdrops. Airdrops are still suitable for those with little capital but more time, and I will continue to share my experiences. If the market is good in the future, I will accumulate more capital, optimize time management to reduce working hours, and spend more time on things I enjoy.
7. The bull market is coming, do you have any preparations?
After two bull markets, my mentality has become much more stable, even if there is a big drop, it will not affect my mood, as long as I am optimistic about the future, I can ignore the short-term fluctuations. In fact, I have already prepared during the 2022-2023 bear market, and I have been holding the tokens I am optimistic about.
What needs to be done now is to continuously accumulate one's chips, try to participate in some early and potential projects, wait for the wind to come, and spend the remaining bear market time on learning, fitness, and good living habits, so that the money earned from this bull market can be enjoyed with a healthy body!
