Forgot to ask about gender on a blind date, chatted for three hours!!!
On the fifth day of the new year, my mom arranged a blind date. The other party is a girl, rumored to work at a bank. I arrived at the café half an hour early and prepared a self-introduction. As soon as the person entered, I was stunned. Not a girl, but a guy. My mom's information was wrong, and she introduced her son's friend to me. The scene was once awkward. Two big guys sat across from each other, and neither knew what to say. He spoke first: How about... we talk about blockchain? Me: ??? He said: Your phone case has the Pyth logo. I looked down and indeed saw it. I asked him: Are you doing this?
The fifth day without an airdrop for Alpha is really tough.
It's been almost 20 days since I last received an airdrop; every day feels like a waste. I can only keep holding on and see how it goes after this round. The daily active users have dropped from 200,000 to 160,000, and more and more brothers are holding still.
I've gone through several rounds of this, and perhaps the dry spell for airdrops is actually a time to take a closer look.
With fewer people, there's less competition. When everyone is complaining, opportunities often quietly emerge. My strategy is very simple now; I will continue to finish the activities that need to be done, while also looking at a few new targets.
For example, I invested 10U in this financial product @Fogo Official .
Not because it can immediately fill the gap of airdrops, but because this kind of "low-cost high-odds" play is rare. 10U for 30 days, with almost zero loss, could net me 1000U; if it doesn’t work out, it’s no big deal.
Moreover, $FOGO has a solid technical foundation — the Firedancer client made by Jump Crypto has a block time of 40ms and 136,000 TPS, and it has already processed 3 billion transactions. Maybe trying with 10U could yield results.
Airdrops are scarce, but life goes on. As long as you're still at the table, the next piece of meat will eventually come to you. #Fogo $FOGO
The family group that hasn't been active for a long time exploded!
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the family group exploded. In the family group, second uncle suddenly asked me if Fogo can be mined. Second uncle sent a screenshot of the Fogo investment activity I posted in my Moments, with the caption: Can this be mined? I was stunned for three seconds. Second uncle, 58 years old, retired worker, learned to use WeChat Pay last year, and still can't tell the difference between blockchain and pyramid schemes. He actually asked me, 'Can this be mined?' The group chat has already started. Aunt: What is Fogo? Second uncle: It seems to be a new virtual currency, my nephew is playing with it. Third uncle: Aren't virtual currencies not allowed to be played with? Second uncle: It's legitimate, on Binance.

Let me share a bit of blockchain knowledge: What can Fogo do in the blink of an eye?
How long does it take for a human to blink? The answer is: 100-400 milliseconds. And the block time of $FOGO is 40 milliseconds. This means: In the time it takes you to blink, Fogo has already completed 3 to 10 transactions.
In simple terms: · Ethereum: Block time 12 seconds, enough time to watch a short video · Solana: Block time 400 milliseconds, enough time to blink · Fogo: Block time 40 milliseconds, before you finish blinking, it's already clocked out This is why market makers are starting to move to Fogo
Recently, Fogo has also launched financial management + lottery gameplay, with a low entry threshold of a few U, you can participate, lottery spots can win hundreds of U in prizes, if not, just consider it financial management, everyone can give it a try, mainly there are no losses.#Fogo @Fogo Official
🧧🧧🧧Has everyone received their new year red packets?
This Spring Festival, the exchange's red packets haven't stopped. Sign in, trading, wealth management, lottery, a single number can earn several hundred U, and those with multiple accounts can directly enjoy a prosperous year. Money doesn't come from the wind, but it is indeed free to pick up. Among many activities, Binance's Fogo wealth management is a classic case of small bets leading to big returns. Not because of high returns—3%-5% annualized, putting 10U for 30 days yields only a few cents. It's because the gameplay is interesting: 10U bets 1000U, with almost zero loss; if you win, great; if not, consider it fixed-term savings. Opportunities like this 'low-cost high-odds' arise only a few times a year.

Inserting blockchain knowledge: What is 'block time'? Block time refers to the speed at which a blockchain packages a transaction. Ethereum takes about 12 seconds, Solana about 400 milliseconds, while Fogo, relying on the Firedancer client developed by Jump Crypto, compresses block time to 40 milliseconds—three times faster than a human blink. This means: the moment you click to buy, the transaction is already confirmed. There is no pending window, no room for scientists to cut in line, and for the first time, the on-chain order book can achieve a smoothness comparable to CEX. During the New Year period, Fogo launched a financial activity on Binance: buy ≥10U $FOGO spot daily, transfer to financial with a 30-day lock-in, and you have a chance to share a 1000U reward. #Fogo $FOGO @Fogo Official
Recently, there are quite a few New Year red envelopes, it's nice 😘😘😘
New Year exchanges are giving away money, brothers, don't miss out. All activities combined have more than 1000 orders, those with many orders can have a little prosperous year. To compete for the New Year traffic, Binance has recently launched the Fogo financial activity, which is a typical 'low cost for high odds' strategy, exchanging red envelopes for users. How to play the financial activity 🤔🤔🤔 Buy ≥10U $FOGO spot daily → Transfer to finance → Set 30-day lockup. · Threshold: 10u · Consumption: basically zero (the financial product itself has returns) · Odds: If you win, it's 1000u, it's crazy. The most important point: the consumption is not high, if you are lucky, you win, and if not, there is no loss. This kind of 'low cost for high odds' opportunity is rare in a year.
In just a few days, 30,000 people have resigned, and the number has reached 170,000
I've been too busy lately, and I haven't claimed an airdrop for half a month; I'm relying on the trading competition to get by
Fogo recently launched a financial product, I participated with 100u, hoping to hit the jackpot; if not, at least getting a basic income is good. Buy ≥10U $FOGO spot daily, transfer to finance for 30 days, and the earlier you deposit, the higher the dividends. However, early redemption is not allowed, so everyone remember to use spare money.
@Fogo Official is a project that launched its mainnet in 2023, primarily adopting the Solana virtual machine + SVM parallel architecture, integrating the Firedancer client developed by Jump Crypto, with the testnet processing over 3 billion transactions. Fully compatible with the Solana ecosystem, dApps can be seamlessly migrated. The team comes from Douro Labs behind Pyth, with backgrounds from Morgan and Jump Crypto.
Focusing on 40ms block time + 136,000 TPS—instant transaction confirmation upon point purchase, no pending, no queue jumping, scientist hardware advantage directly brought to zero. $FOGO #fogo
This question touches the core issue—it's also the problem that everyone concerned with Fogo will eventually face. The direct answer: cannot in the short term, but looking long term there is a chance, though the word 'replace' may need to be redefined. Why say 'cannot in the short term'? Solana's moat is not technology, but ecology. Thousands of developers, dozens of mature protocols, hundreds of millions in TVL—these things cannot be moved away just by being 'faster'. So 'Fogo replacing Solana' will not happen in the short term. But @Fogo Official has caught the unresolved issue of Solana: performance certainty. Solana is fast, but its speed is 'sometimes fast, sometimes congested, occasionally stops'. For high-frequency traders, 'occasionally stops' is intolerable.
It feels good, a New Year gift of 160u from Binance, simply a pleasant surprise. Binance's activities are worth participating in; participating doesn't guarantee rewards, but not participating guarantees none.
Recently, $FOGO just happens to be staked, and I staked everything in, trying to see if more good luck will come. Currently, with a stake of over 27U in wealth management, there is a chance to receive a 1000U reward.
@Fogo Official has currently pushed the testnet TPS to over 50,000, reducing block time to 40 milliseconds, providing a very smooth experience. The underlying is done with Jump Crypto's Firedancer client, squeezing out hardware performance; on the upper layer, account abstraction is done to eliminate repeated signatures with a single login. Even the order book and oracle are natively integrated, allowing developers to write 70% less code, making it a tool for playing with memes, with full-stack optimization from the ground up, all to bring on-chain transactions into the millisecond era. Brothers can go try it out; it shouldn't be too smooth. #fogo $FOGO
Over the years of chasing Meme, I finally figured out one thing
I used to hit the dirt dog, thinking my hand speed was okay. The project came out, opened the webpage, connected the wallet, clicked confirm, and it took more than ten seconds. Until one day a friend showed me his TG screenshot. The new pool just opened, the monitoring bot went 'ding', he copied the address and bought in with one click. From when he saw the message to the transaction, it took 2.3 seconds. I asked him how he was so fast. He said: I'm not fast, the great scientists are fast. I'm just drinking soup in the back. That was the first time I realized: hitting the dirt dog on the slow chain, the manual party is not a person, but fuel. Later I created a script for automatic buying. I was so excited when it ran successfully for the first time, feeling like I had finally evolved. Then I rushed into a project, the script detected the pool, sent the transaction, pending...pending...pending.... After confirmation, the holding price was three times the opening price, at the peak. And the real scientists, their trades were already completed, sold, and withdrawn while I was still pending for a few seconds.
You can never outrun a scientist, not because you are slow, but because they are playing in another dimension, with private nodes, FPGA hardware, and mempool cutting in line. When you click to buy, they have already cashed out and left.
Fogo doesn't help you run faster; it starts everyone at the same time.
With a block time of 40ms, it's so fast that no one can cut in line. The hardware advantage of the scientists becomes irrelevant on this chain. Those few seconds you are pending disappear. He harvests your window and closes it.
Fogo is like a mirror; before, you were anxiously running in circles on this side while the scientists were counting money on the other side. Now, on this side of the mirror, there is only you— and your true trading ability. You don’t need to outpace anyone; you just need to be right compared to the market, it's that simple. #fogo $FOGO @Fogo Official
What is XPL? A value loop that is being successfully implemented.
In the world of blockchain, the dilemma faced by the vast majority of tokens is the same: value is decoupled from usage. You hold it, but its price fluctuations mainly depend on market sentiment and narrative hype, with no relation to whether you use this network. $XPL attempts to break this decoupling. It's not complicated; it can even be said to be extremely simple—only three sentences can explain the design, yet they are interlinked, forming a self-reinforcing value loop. First loop: Free is not charity; it is a deflationary engine. When you transfer USDT on the Plasma chain, the Gas fee shows as 0. This is not the project team burning money for subsidies, but a sophisticated protocol layer design: the system pays your Gas with XPL tokens and permanently destroys them the moment the payment is completed.
The XPL essay activity has one hour left before the deadline. Don't forget the time. Over the course of this month’s project postings, it has gradually become apparent that XPL's design goal is not to become a better trading tool, but to directly link network value with user behavior. This logic is straightforward:
For every free transfer you enjoy, the system pays and destroys XPL in the background. This is not a cost; it is the process of transforming 'usage' into 'scarcity.' Confirmo has a monthly transaction volume of 80 million USD, and Aave has the second-largest deposit scale—these levels of activity are not bragging rights but are the ongoing fuel for destruction.
When you stake XPL, you transform from a passerby into a shareholder. The profit dividends belong to you, and the governance voting rights also belong to you. Short-term arbitrageurs find locking up assets cumbersome and will naturally leave; those who stay have their interests deeply tied to the network. This is not sentiment; it is a mechanism of selection.
StableFlow solves the cross-chain entry, NEAR Intents provides institutional-level trading depth, and YuzuMoney connects fiat exits—these modules are not just to pile up terminology, but to give XPL's value a place to be anchored: there are scenarios to support liquidity, returns to benefit stakers, and exits to connect with the real economy.
So XPL does not make empty promises. Its scarcity is burned out of every transaction and is a value certificate that is currently operational and has already run through some stages. #plasma $XPL @Plasma
$TRIA Trading Competition Summary Wear: 5u Recently, the wear has been relatively low, and the trading volume is about as expected. Now it's all up to the trading competition to keep it going, and it's getting harder and harder. #ALPHA
Finally completed the division before the deadline
Today I looked for the rhythm points, incurred a loss of 1u, took 2 hours, resulting in a total loss of 0.02%. Originally, it should have been a profit of 7u, but due to time constraints, I supplemented with a trading volume of 30,000 and did not make a profit. Today I specifically looked for material to find the rhythm points, which took more time than expected. The method used was the one mentioned in the pinned article. Avoid making ineffective trades, find the fluctuation interval and depth, and locate the machine's buy-in point. A trading volume of 30,000 in 15 minutes is not a big issue. Below is the interval chart for trading Brothers doing the square essay, please note that there are less than 24 hours left before the essay submission deadline. The deadline is at 17:00 tomorrow. Complete tomorrow's tasks early, do not wait until the last moment to avoid missing the deadline.
