habis baca penjelasan Tomb, menurutku strategi ini sebenarnya cukup sederhana, (mirip Akashi Zone malah).
jadi dia tuh gak mengejar fresh launch atau first pump, fokusnya malah lebih ke mencari coin yang udah pernah nunjukkin power, terus dia nunggu hypenya cooling down dan masuk lagi di area demand yang udah kebentuk sebelumnya (liat di artikel asli dia)
stratnya gini:
1. Cari former runner
targetnya umumnya coin yang udah berumur 2–8 minggu terus pernah mengalami strong move.
logicnya: coin itu udah ngebuktiin kalo market pernah ngasih attention sama liquidity.
filter awal yang dia contohin:
- Market Cap: > $3M
- Liquidity: > $250–500K
- Volume: > $1–2M
angka ini bukan aturan wajib ya, lebih ke sebagai filter buat mempersempit battlefield.
2. Jangan mengejar first pump
ketika coin mulai vertical, biarin aja pump pertama lewat.
nanti setelah hype-nya down dan early buyers mulai mengambil profit, tunggu harga melakukan retracement.
nah yang kita cari gak cuman coin yang udah turun 50%, tapi retracement menuju area demand yang sebelumnya ngehasilin expansion gede.
3. Cari previous demand zone
biasanya kita pasti nanya pricenya udah turun jauh tuh, berarti sekarang udah murah bang?
poinnya disini, tugas kita tuh nyari tau beneran gak area ini tuh jadi zone utama? soalnya kita nyari buat entry, soalnya kalo bener harusnya market sebelumnya udah nunjukkin respons kuat di sana.
4. Entry lewat bounce atau accumulation
ada 2 setup utama:
Bounce: harga balik ke demand zone terus nunjukkin rejection dan mulai naik.
Accumulation: harga bertahan di area tersebut tanpa langsung breakout, kalo zone cukup lebar atau bottomnya sulit ditentuin, posisi bisa dibangun secara bertahap via DCA.
Accumulation tuh gak harus selesai dalam satu hari, contoh yang dibahas bahkan berlangsung sekitar 20 hari.
5. Gunain socials sebagai quality check
Setelah chart nunjukkin setup yang menarik, baru cek kondisi sosialnya:
- X masih aktif?
- Narrative masih hidup?
- Sentiment masih ada?
- Dev/project masih reasonable?
jadi socials bukan trigger utama.
Chart nemuin setup. Socials membantu mastiin coin tersebut belum beneran dead.
6. Targetin second move
tujuannya bukan nangkep seluruh perjalanan coin or nyari 100x.
fokusnya justru nyari second expansion setelah retracement, dengan contoh target sekitar 2–4x.
setelah move tersebut terjadi, ambil profit sesuai rencana, gak perlu terlalu terikat sama projectnya lah, soalnya yang diperdagangkan itu price action setelah retracement.
jadi kalo gw rangkum, intinya
former runner → tunggu first pump selesai → retracement → previous demand → bounce/accumulation → entry → second move → 2–4x → exit.
so, The Trench Strat lebih tepat dipahami sebagai demand-retest / second-leg continuation strategy, gak cuman buy the dip ya!
1/ gm. gm. Name is Hsin-Ju.
I have a dark, kinda tragic personal announcement.
I've decided I'd rather take $0 than accept a settlement that requires me to stay silent about what happened to me. I have since fired my lawyers at @sanfordheisler & will be releasing all the evidence from my time @hack_vc on Wed 8/26.
INTRO: I've been in crypto for 9 years. Most recently I was a partner & head of platform @hack_vc which is a $600-700M crypto VC firm. Many of you may know me from my time as Head of Growth at @StellarOrg in 2017 (worked w/ the Mt. Gox founder), @Solana in 2018 (joined under ~10 ppl, but quit before my cliff), & @Fhenix in 2024. Or have attended one of my @DystopiaLabs ETH events (2019-now).
Last year, I was forced to work through a serious medical emergency while at @Hack_VC due to threats by @alpackaP@dbulaevsky, saying that they would blacklist me from the space if I quit before finishing the hacksummit conference & side events that I was helping with during @kbwofficial. I was working 13-14hr days, 6 days a week, sleeping 0-4 hrs a night, and had documented Graves' disease, hyperthyroidism, and severe insomnia. I repeatedly asked to quit. Hack VC refused. This + other threats and intimidation went on for almost a month.
The conditions got so bad I attempted suicide.
The fucked up part is that, even after the suicide attempt, I told everyone at Hack VC (in writing) that I had no plans to sue. I was scared & extremely sick. I just wanted to leave. I told them that as long as there was no retaliation or badmouthing - I had no plans to sue.
@Hack_VC chose to retaliate.
After just 1 month after my near suicide, Hack VC mishandled my COBRA health insurance, refused to fix things, kept shooing me to customer support (when it's legally Hack VC's responsibility to fix this), and my insurance had issues and was not fixed for almost 4 MONTHS. Hack VC did not fix everything until I hired lawyers and had them force Hack VC to adhere to the law & fix my COBRA insurance issues. The sheer cruelty of an employer harming someone's health insurance almost immediately after they nearly committed suicide is extremely fucked up.
And, even during the legal engagement, Hack VC continued to lie & attempt to harm me through their lawyers and other employees/partners (multi-million dollar carry & clawbacks can make even the nicest ppl willing to turn the other way or lie). @0xRodney@IsTheBaron@roshunpatel@Alex__Botte.
Now. Almost an entire year of engagement & my near suicide anniversary coming up, our lawyers (mine & Hack VC's) have reached the point of preparing for private mediation and settlement. And...I realized that I just can't do it. I don't want money in exchange for silence. I'd rather speak.
I fired my lawyers yesterday.
In case it needs to be said, I did a good job at Hack VC. I was only there full time for 7 months; been part-time since 2021. I got a $50k raise to $300k, $30k bonus, and promises of additional carry that would have been implemented about a week or so after my last day. I was also offered admission into the GP entity (but not sure if admission was actually completed bc it was during my medical emergency). This + my resume, should show that me suing is not a money grab; I was genuinely harmed.
I'm aware that I'm just one person (who is not rich) facing a $600-700M VC institution. I've been told by @alpackaP that he's known most of the managing partners at most VC firms for almost a decade and he could absolutely blacklist me.
I'm also painful aware that the conclusion of this will probably be extremely poor for me or death - but I've accepted it.
Sharing with other web2 & web3 VCs:
@paulg@ycombinator@500STARTUPS@a16zcrypto@PanteraCapital@dragonflyvc@RaceCapital@hosseeb@haunventures@hiFramework@ElectricCapital @blockchaincap @Delphi_Digital@variantfund@1kxnetwork@archetypevc@shimacapital@robotventures, etc.
TLDR; I’m done with continued threats, pressure, and intimidation. I'm not going to take a payout and allow Alex or Hack VC to walk away from harming me. As mentioned, I'll be dropping the evidence from my case on Wed 8/26 (or before) -- privacy be damned.

Still on Windows just for Genshin and HSR?
You can play them on Linux.
This is Honkai: Star Rail running through Twintail Launcher on Bazzite. Same app also covers Genshin, ZZZ, and more. On Bazzite it feels pretty plug-and-play, and it works on other distros too.
If the only thing stopping you from switching is “I can’t lose my anime games,” that part is already solvable.

Can you build this? Yes. That is the wrong question.
The right one: do you want your next engineer-month on landing and matching, or on the model that actually makes money?
Onboard: get a maker_id → delegate quoter → enable markets → set soft caps → deposit → Client + QuoteBuilder + commit() + landed_within.
Volume on Flint now counts toward Solana Frontier Traders.

If you have already priced Solana spot, you do not need another AMM curve.
You need a path onto aggregator flow that does not start with “write a program, win the CU war, land every quote.”
That path is @flint_trade_.

Crosses are not a second venue.
Enable a cross_spread and Flint derives JTO/SOL from your JTO/USDC and SOL/USDC micro-books at match time.
Global swap = token ↔ USDC.
Cross swap = token ↔ token through those books.
You quote USDC legs. The matcher builds the pair. You do not stand up every market account yourself.
Taker flow is already sitting on Jupiter, DFlow, Titan (OKX DEX in progress).
