Money map (part 1)
When I first started writing this text, it was meant for my personal use. I wanted to outline for myself what areas related to money and generating it lay ahead of me, what I do in general, what I need to work on, and which direction to move in. In the process, I realised that I was coming up with a slightly different format, so I decided to prepare a full-fledged post. This is not a guide or instructions on how to make money. It is definitely not a call to action and definitely not financial advice. These are just my thoughts and vision of the whole structure, which may be different for everyone.
The text consists of several parts, each of which reveals different areas that can bring money and other necessary resources, and which, in my opinion, need to be developed in one's life.
📌Crypto
1. Strong assets HODL – $BTC, $ETH, $BNB
This direction can be considered more as an investment, money storage, and counteraction to inflation.
It is clear that these assets have already grown significantly, especially $BTC and $BNB, and especially when compared to prices 1-2-4 years ago, but they still have the potential for growth in the long run. They do because there are now growth drivers that did not exist before - wider acceptance of crypto in general, institutional purchases, state reserves, the creation of conditions for legalisation, etc. It seems that it still makes sense to regularly set aside a small portion of your income in $BTC, thereby forming a certain reserve.
You can simply hold these assets, either they can generate returns in DeFi, or they can also be used as collateral for loans and positions.
$BNB, for example, continuously generates returns through its use in Launchpool, HODLER Airdrop, Alpha, and other tools. The $BNB team conducts quarterly asset burns on a regular basis. $BNB is the engine of the entire @binance ecosystem.
The main question is, when to sell? After all, these assets were purchased to make money. Some say never, some wait for huge prices, some sell partially.
In general, it is comfortable to hold these assets, and there is no need to sell them, as they can generate profit. However, a partial exit is still possible. The main question is when?
Keep in mind - 1 BTC = 1 BTC
2. Sales
Sales are a great way to make money. Why?
Usually, it's a quick way to convert money.
Announcement → analysis → registration → participation → TGE → profit.
But that's in the best-case scenario, because sales are not always profitable, and sometimes they even result in losses. However, when the situation is like it is now and sales are popular among the community and projects, it's not worth missing out on them.
How many projects have been successful on @buidlpad only recently:
- @Lombard_Finance (2-3x)
- @falconfinance (8-10x)
- @MMTFinance( although through manipulation, but the price reached 15x)
The allocations there were not very large, but if the account passed every sale, then it alone could have brought in about $1.5k over 2 months.
In addition, @megaeth has just taken place with a crazy oversubscription, which indicates the hype and interest of the audience not only in this project, but also in sales in general. @legiondotcc, @KaitoAI Capital Launchpad, @MetaDAOProject, @CoinList, etc. are now quite often holding new ICOs. And next in line is, at least, the widely anticipated @flyingtulip_.
Everything happens quickly and depends on market conditions. If the market is bad, there are no sales, or their conditions are poor, it is not very promising to enter. Therefore, this is a local story.
Although, due to better regulation, projects are more interested in entering the market through sales. But the more profitable sales there are, the harder it is to get into each new one, competition increases, liquidity is needed, and many accounts are required. In other words, it is not entirely straightforward. As with everything else, effort is required. Be that as it may, the activity is quite profitable. It is necessary to participate.

In other words, it is not entirely straightforward. As with everything else, effort is required. Be that as it may, the activity is quite profitable. It is necessary to participate.
3. DeFi and not only DeFi-farming
This refers to the use of assets ( $USDT, $ETH, $BNB, $BTC) for farming %.
Throughout DeFi, you can find many pools that generate a good percentage ( @ThenaFi, @pendle_fi, @magpiexyz_io and all its PIEs – I often farmed something there).
At first glance, it doesn't seem like much, but if you consider that you can farm with almost any size, good pools appear constantly, and a complex percentage appears (i.e., everything that drips is collected and farming takes place with a larger amount), then this activity seems not only interesting, but necessary. In the long run, it will show excellent results.
This area also includes farming pools and activities offered by exchanges + new projects that have a point system.
Promo activities and pools from exchanges
They usually appear when new tokens are released, and to attract users' attention, the exchange offers very favourable conditions and good interest rates.
Each promotion has its own rules, such as restrictions on the amount that can be farmed for rewards and the number of users. You can participate in as many activities as possible.
One participation can bring in $30-50-100. 10 participations (which can happen within 1-2-3 months, especially considering that there are many exchanges and offers) – $1000+, which sounds much more interesting.
In addition, there are strategies here as well. In most cases, farming occurs for a coin that has just been listed, is not in the portfolio, and is not desirable to hold. In this case, you can open a hedge short. Here you need to be very careful, have sufficient collateral, and monitor funding.
P.S. You can pay attention to Fixed Promotions, which often appear on @kucoincom.
New projects where you need to farm points
Currently, in most cases, in order to potentially receive some reward from a project (airdrop), you need to use money, and often a lot of money. Money can be locked in a project or can be liquid. The idea is to use the protocol, keep money in it, earn points, and receive drops according to the points.
Little hint
@opinionlabsxyz
But often, points are only part of the profit, because you can simultaneously farm the percentage offered by a new project, as was the case, for example, with @Aster_DEX, or as is currently happening with @USDai_official, where points are dripping in, but on top of that, there is a certain yield that can be maximised thanks to @pendle_fi and Pendlepie.
That is, in crypto, it turns out that the main activities now are:
🔵Sales
🔵Farming interest through various strategies in DeFi (which is actually quite difficult, but possible, and quite often you can earn good interest)
🔵Participation in promotional events offered by exchanges and wallets
🔵Farming new projects by using your money in them and earning points.
What is required for each of these areas – what activities, how much time, what resources?
- For a general understanding of the market situation, you need to constantly be in the information field, read X, Telegram channels. It's hard to say how much time is allocated for this, because you are constantly processing some information in one way or another, and therefore you are in the information field.
- When analysing sales, it is necessary to conduct basic research (the general idea and its relevance in the current market conditions, the general mood of people and influencers regarding the sale, i.e. the general hype or, vice versa, underestimation, investments – funds and size, conditions and tokenomics, and many other factors) and decide whether to participate in this sale. For one sale, an hour is enough to figure out all the details, and then about the same amount of time when it is actually happening. Registering accounts takes quite a lot of time, if necessary.
- Strategies require constant monitoring of new listings and new offers, checking for new good pools. In short, it is constant work with liquidity, managing it so that it works as efficiently as possible. The technical actions themselves to transfer everything take a few minutes, but finding the best way and coming up with a strategy...
- New projects require research. There are many projects. That means constant work. You can set aside a few hours a day for this.
These are the activities that are most relevant to me at the moment. Of course, there are many other ways to make money that everyone is writing about. In my strategy, I only use what I have written about, but I constantly adjust my actions according to market offers and situations.

Is it possible to be 2 STEPS AHEAD of the market? NO!
But with tools from @Aster_DEX, you can increase the efficiency of your transactions by 50%.
Let's take a look 👇

📌Strategy 2. Double bet on news
Important economic data that will affect the price of BTC is expected (FOMC, CPI, Powell's speech, macro data). But we don't know whether it will go up or down.
If you try to guess in One-Way Mode, you have a 50% chance of being right. Hedge Mode gives you almost 100% coverage.
You can open long and short positions simultaneously.
Then the market decides which side will remain.
🔹 If the movement is upward - short is closed at stop, long is in profit
🔹 If downward - vice versa
How to set up:
1️⃣Stops should not be too close to avoid fake movements
2️⃣Use take profits at +3-5%
⚠️ Risks:
Possible fake movement when one of the positions is knocked out at the stop loss, and then the price reverses and the remaining one also goes into the red
👉 This is a game of volatility, not a guarantee
Example:
BTC is now $115k: long 115k (SL 114k, TP 117k) + short 115k (SL 116k, TP 112k).
If the price rises after the news - short closes at SL, long is in profit which covers short losses.
If it falls - short is in profit, long is closed.
