After the end of the first season, our studio has been contemplating the next direction. To be honest, the delay by a certain leading exchange was somewhat discouraging, but this kind of uncertainty is actually part of the crypto gaming experience, so choosing the next target becomes even more critical.

After evaluation, we decided to heavily invest in a new project. Instead of dwelling on previous uncertainties, it's better to focus on identifying the next dark horse. In the current market environment, the project's execution ability and transparency have become the key criteria for selection. Risks and opportunities often coexist, but the premise is to clearly understand the opponent's hand. The upcoming choices indeed require more caution, but it is through this process of repeated validation that small teams can find truly worthwhile opportunities to get on board.

Alright, this time selecting projects really requires some effort, so as not to repeat the same mistakes. Heavy investment in new projects is just for a chance at a turnaround, but on the other hand, execution ability is something that's heard about the most but hardest to verify. I'm a bit curious about how you differentiate—do you just look at the white paper and community buzz? The market risk this round is indeed high, but only in this way can we truly bottom-fish.

Haha, going all in again. Theoretically, it should work. Can I avoid locking myself in this time?

Ha, it's that same saying again "Look carefully at your opponent's hand," sounds nice but how many people can really make money from it? The next dark horse? I think it's probably still a long shot. So, is this new project going all in or continuing to test and learn? The delay with the exchange is indeed frustrating, but isn't that just Web3's daily routine? Going all-in on a major position, I trust your courage, but I don't trust your judgment haha. This round, the dice are going to be replaced again, feels like we're repeating the same story every time. We've heard the words transparency and execution countless times, but implementation is the real key. A small team looking for opportunities, honestly, it's still a gamble on probabilities, no one has a sure shot. Who is the next project that can turn things around? I want to jump on the bandwagon too.

Here we go again with the same old story, said the same last year... --- Heavy investment in new projects? Bro, are you trying to bottom fish or take over? --- Transparency in execution? I've seen too much of that, and in the end, it's just a mess. --- Part of the profit game? Nice words, but isn't it just gambling with luck? --- Dark horse, dark horse, everyone dares to call it a dark horse, how many can survive two weeks? --- Can you see the opponent's cards clearly? Can you see the exchange's cards clearly? --- Repeatedly looking for opportunities, but it feels like just losing money over and over. --- This kind of uncertainty is itself part of the profit game. I give this statement a full score, at least it's honest. --- New season, new dreams. Just wait patiently for the options to be listed.

Haha, it's that time again to go all-in with a heavy position. Can I get it right this time? You need to see the cards clearly, or you'll be eating dirt again. Easy to say, but if you really pick a dark horse, you'll be set. Execution transparency sounds good, but can you withstand the actual operation? The next dark horse has to be dug out by yourself, relying on evaluation... hmm. Repeated verification is indeed the right way, but you need to keep a steady mindset.

Haha, the first season was blown up, and we have to reload new fuel and re-launch. Being ruthless about reading the opponent's hand is crucial, or you'll just be a living bunch of chopped chives. How to choose the next dark horse? Execution and transparency need to be thoroughly examined; DYOR is really not just empty talk. The delay by a major exchange is a lesson for us—this is the daily routine of retail investors. Small teams find real opportunities through repeated verification; patience is key, everyone.
