Due to the pessimistic price of $MERL after its launch and the floating losses of many staking users with high stakes, a bunch of KOLs in the Chinese community have shouted the slogan "No staking in the second half", which seems to be a sign of killing them with one stick!

In fact, without analyzing the project and the specific situation, it is meaningless to shout like this, and there is no need for everyone to be misled.

I would like to briefly talk about my own views and hope it will be helpful to everyone!

[1] The assets I participated in staking in Merlin are basically Bitmap. The cost was converted to U-based pricing at the time, which was about 30~40U. Now the price is about 80U in U-based pricing. In this process, I received $VOYA airdrops, participated in $HUHU in the early stage, and also participated in $MP new listings. Finally, I received $MERL airdrops obtained by staking Bitmap.

Because of the influence of the last round of bull and bear markets, I am very cautious about buying NFT assets this round, so I didn't buy any blue boxes, music boxes, blue crystals, dragon balls, etc., because I personally felt that the price when I wanted to buy was too high. For example: I didn't buy the music box when it was just released at around 80U in the early days, because I didn't understand it. Later, it rose to 700 or 800, and I didn't want to chase it anymore. In summary, it was actually because I didn't understand it in the early days, I was not smart enough, and I was mainly afraid of secondary takeovers, rolling floors and liquidity problems). Back to the topic: If I bought the music box at around 100 in the early days, why didn't I pledge it? ? ? So whether we can pledge or not, a very key point is whether the cost of our own purchase is low enough! When the cost is low enough, when you pledge it, you should think in advance that the value of the pledged assets will take a roller coaster ride! There are gains and losses. You want both airdrops and high-priced sales of pledged assets. How can it be so good? Are you smart? The project party gives you money?

In addition, if you buy an NFT asset, you are more or less reluctant to sell it. . . Just like you hold a Rune Stone, you are reluctant to sell it at 0.07, right? Because you are waiting for the airdrop. Well, the airdrop is over, and it goes back to 0.03. At this time, many people are very upset, and they were shocked by the price this morning. . . Because the price of the Rune Stone was cut in half, my friend was in a bad mood all day, and it was an airdrop, not a secondary purchase.. . . So to sum up: it’s still the same old saying: there are gains and losses, don’t want both airdrops and high-priced shipments. . . If there is no shipment, continue to wait for the next airdrop, and then worry about it. The next time the price is high, the shipment will be sold, and you will make money forever by selling.

【2】I have ETH, APT, STRK, ATOM and other tokens in my hands. Do I just leave them in the exchange? ? ? Don’t I use them to participate in the corresponding ecological construction and get some pledge airdrops for high-quality projects?

Because these assets are already in my hands, and the price is relatively low now, I can pledge them, wait for the price to rise, and take advantage of the airdrop. What’s wrong? So don’t be stupid and say that you don’t want to play staking in the second half. . . If you don’t understand and still pretend to be a big shot and shout so loudly, it’s really ridiculous😅

【3】Pledge assets, choose high-quality large projects, don’t choose small projects or even junk projects. You can go to my previous push for this judgment method, so I won’t repeat it. One thing to add is: everyone can pay more attention to the TVL of the pledged projects, as well as the TVL ranking of the pledged projects in the corresponding ecosystem! It is better not to airdrop or participate in the projects with small TVL and low ranking!

Another point: Don’t rush to participate in the pledged projects just after they come out. First see the trend, see how popular the participation is, and the growth of TVL. Or it is best to do your own research before participating, and don’t blindly believe in KOLs. KOLs are all defending their rights. . . .

I saw those KOLs who blindly shouted slogans tonight, and I couldn’t help but typed so many words. . . Everyone, just make do with it.

Finally, here is a picture to be posted in the group tonight. If you don’t like it, please don’t criticize
