this post is important, so pay CLOSE attention
in the last year, we have seen the rise of CT personas aka influential accounts (not KOLs) getting paid to be long-term influencers, CT leads, ambassadors, etc
examples:
@megaeth hire of @0xBreadguy
kalshi adding @0x_ultra and @icobeast to their roster last month + both prediction markets just giving affiliate links to influencers
@AlexOnchain being the new coinbase ct lead
octra (?) giving bunch of miladys the badge
this is VERY DIFFERENT from kol deals
kol deals are mainly BAD. the kol hardly cares about your project and just wants to get paid to shill without personality, he is just doing the job
CT persona hires are long-term engagements by high signal accounts that actually like your product and want to be your long term partner
this is a leading strategy for the next 6 months for projects
what does this mean for you?
you need to BECOME a more influential account on CT and the best way to do is to have a PERSONALITY. no one wants yet another kaito threador or a washed out kol with botted followers, they want REAL people with REAL views and REAL personalities
if you are from a poor country and you are smart, this is your ticket to the first world. i cannot emphasize the importance of building a social media account with a great reputation and great personality. if you also do short form videos, you can immediately add 30% to your pricing
need help with this?
you can come to me. but i need you to ALREADY have done the work, don't pull up with 2k followers and ask me for ANYTHING. get to 10k and i will be waiting for you at the top and can connect you to projects that ACTUALLY fit you
The Asian trader @feibo03 (cowboy) has just went on a generational run
form only managing a shitty pnl last month of 14k to now being up over 1.5mil in the last 2 weeks on $BNB
being auto tracked on gmgn can make you a millionaire
State of Solana trenches IMO, and 3 ways to make money.
1) Flip the right new pairs under bonding for 50%-300% profits - hold time 30 seconds to 1 hour
2) Buy project post-bonding and after it's first large retrace, ride up next leg for 50%-500% profit - hold time 15 minutes to 2 hours
3) Find right project that has retraced hard and with community forming and accumulating supply....bag work, buy dips and build 1-2% position. USDUC, Troll both good examples. hold time 1-6 months.
Risk level is high for 3 as you need the right macro conditions, and if you pick the wrong project, you'll waste a lot of time. If you pick the right project, this can be your largest career wins. With market saturation of memes, this is increasingly harder. Was much easier end of 2023, early 2024 as not as many memes available.
In general, Solana trenches is an EXTREMELY hard market right now. A lot of people losing, but there are definitely people winning too. Will get better as more liquidity comes in through end of year. Those with public wallets have huge advantage as they get immediate market confluence to every trade they make. It's why most of profits concentrated to top 25-75 public wallets.
Holding is high risk, high reward. Scalping for small profits is current meta and can obviously profitable. Unfortunately with this meta, buying and holding generally becomes -EV (for your average investor), as so much of what you buy is going to zero, you really have to be selective. You have to be savage about taking profits unless you are building a position for a 3.
Q4 2025 should be a VERY bullish time for crypto market participants and I'm expecting the bull market goes into middle of 2026 and is probably bigger than most are expecting. Will likely see a huge run, retrace, final run into middle of 2026.
We still have the Trump put, as with their pro-crypto stance and policies, crypto success helps Trump politically and helps republicans in the mid terms. This success is tied to fiscal dominance (tariff stimmy checks) and monetary policy, both of which Trump now has full control. Inflation will continue to be a problem, but nobody will give a shit if everyone is making generational money in the markets.
Every consensus macro move since Covid liquidity injection seems to have been delayed by about 6-9 months. ISM still at 52 and US Fed just now starting their easing cycle with rate cuts.
Should be clear sky's ahead for crypto and expect we soon start entering into the real bull market.
