#BTC made another quick correction and found support around 92k. It has bounced back to the 97k range. Volatility seems to be on the rise these days. On #binance , $BTC ,$XRP , and $SOL tokens have been the most viewed. If you have some time to read during these active days, I’d like to share my expectations for 2025 as someone actively engaged in #SocialMining .
As we approach the end of 2024, it’s clear that people everywhere—across countries and categories—have started making their plans for 2025. I’ve also decided to organize my expectations from the perspective of a social miner. After all, this is what I do. While many of my friends pursue social mining as a side hustle, I’m retired, and it’s my primary source of supplemental income. That’s why my expectations are shaped by this perspective.
If I were to summarize 2024 from a social mining standpoint, the year was marked by the rise of new platforms and, toward the end, the long-awaited ILO. Thanks to these new HUBs, especially the ILO, our rapidly growing community has brought not only new opportunities but also new friendships.
Looking ahead to 2025, I anticipate even greater advancements in the social mining space. Technology is evolving at an incredible pace, and every year brings something new. A few years ago, #DeFi entered our lives; this year, I’d say it was the year of artificial intelligence #AI . As social miners, we adapt quickly to changes and innovations, so these advancements don’t intimidate us—they excite us.
I believe all social miners, like myself, are eagerly awaiting the launch of fresh HUBs filled with new projects. I also hope that technical features like Twitter programs and Reddit panels work more consistently in the coming year.
This year, a writing team was established, and we shared our articles on platforms like Binance Square, CMC, and Reddit. I expect such specialized groups to grow and continue.
Now, for the most significant event of the year for us social miners—the ILO. The long-awaited moment arrived, and we successfully completed our first ILO. I’m confident that all social miners were pleased with the experience, and we’re all expecting many more ILOs in the year ahead. The first one is always the hardest, but now that it’s been accomplished, I anticipate smoother launches in the future.
Regarding @DAOLabs ’ ILO page, I must say the latest version is very well-designed. You select a role, receive tasks, and see how much allocation you’ll earn if you meet the conditions. Traditional launchpad platforms often require users to stake thousands of dollars’ worth of their native tokens just to secure a $200 allocation. This highlights the difference between IDOs and ILOs. After TGE, participants can clearly see their earnings and when their tokens will unlock.
Can this be improved? Absolutely. And it should be. I imagine the core team is considering how to make the process even better and attract more quality participants. Social miners likely have plenty of suggestions, too. My own suggestion is for the ILO page to go live at least a month, or perhaps even earlier, before TGE. Tasks should vary in length and include additional assignments closer to the launch, offering more diversity.
Additionally, simply completing a few tasks during the ILO period shouldn’t be enough for participation. At the very least, users should register on the DAOVERSE platform and complete a few tasks there to ensure a fairer distribution. That’s precisely why I believe the ILO page should be active well in advance.
These are just my thoughts. As a social mining family, I’m confident we can adapt to any innovation. Wishing all social miners and the DAO Labs core team a healthy, happy, and successful new year...
