My Trading Journey

As an experienced CS 2 skin trader on Steam, I have personally experienced the ups and downs of skin trading. My trading philosophy has always been to get ahead of the trend and use opportunities brought by strategy and insight to obtain the highest returns.

Here, people are not diving into profits, but pursuing community, strategy, and the thrill of the hunt. However, the recent downturn in the CS 2 market, coupled with the surge in the cryptocurrency space, prompted me to turn to an area I had been quietly observing before - Crypto & GameFi.

But the creation of a narrative often initially originates from some high-sounding words, such as intent, modularization, parallelization... It sounds short and powerful, making people vaguely understand it - this sexy technical perception is what we want.

But if you ask where these words come from, Top VC Paradigm must deserve the supreme title of "Master of Word Coining".

Last July, Paradigm introduced its top ten trends, among which the concept of intent-centric was mentioned for the first time.

“Honestly, if I had stayed at Polygon, I would have retired. I started Avail because I believed from the bottom of my heart that it would be something far beyond Polygon.”

As the co-founder of Polygon, Anurag Arjun has made no secret of his ambitions for his new project, Avail.

This project, which aims to provide infrastructure support for Ethereum expansion, was officially launched within Polygon in 2020. Last year, Avail was spun off from Polygon and operated independently, and has been accelerating ever since. In February of this year, Avail officially announced that it had received $27 million in financing led by Funders Fund and Dragonfly. It just airdropped tokens in April and plans to officially launch the mainnet in May, and will soon list tokens.
