A pretty wild phenomenon has been observed: retail investors in the US stock market are now wildly playing with 0DTE options, the kind that expire on the same day, where time value zeroes out, purely leveraging for speculation.

This made me think of something—those projects that are bringing US stocks on-chain, always talking about long-term value and inclusive finance. Honestly, it's not that interesting and not profitable. The real opportunity is elsewhere: take those who trade options in certain brokerage apps and bring them on-chain to trade perpetual contracts.

Think about it carefully, these two approaches are essentially interconnected. If you’re bullish, open a high-leverage long position; if you’re bearish, go short; want to make more stable profits? Then contribute to an LP pool and share in the trading fees. Users’ habits are actually well-established; all that’s missing is a bridge to connect them.

0DTE is a gambler's paradise; the thrill is exciting, but the chopping of leeks is also quick. The on-chain perpetual contract tricks are just as deep. In simple terms, it's just a UI change; the gambling nature remains the same. Those who can make money are always a minority. Perpetual contracts sound advanced, but they're essentially just rebranded options, with liquidity pitfalls just as big.

0DTE this gameplay is truly a gambler's paradise, essentially a game of hot potato, with retail investors always ending up holding the bag. Turning gamblers onto the blockchain? Bro, that idea has some merit, but the liquidation speed on perpetual contracts is even faster. To put it simply, it's all leverage trading, just a different skin— the logic of cutting leek (exploiting traders) hasn't changed at all. Wait, this logic doesn't add up. Even if user habits improve, it’s still the same story of losing everything. Can LPs in perpetual contracts really earn trading fees, or is this just another scam?

The 0DTE gameplay is truly a pure gambling game, with time value evaporating second by second, and it's all leverage trading. It's exciting, but it's really impossible to avoid losses. The perpetual contract approach is actually decent; user habits are definitely there. The problem is that projects capable of really converting these people haven't appeared yet. However, I have to say that the long-term value narrative is unprofitable—I have to criticize it. It's actually opposite to options trading logic: one is impatient and seeks quick profits, while the other is just hyping things up. Neither is true financial innovation. Honestly, it still depends on whether LP sharing can truly withstand volatility; otherwise, it's just a different place to cut the leeks.

The 0DTE strategy is indeed addictive, but the real profit logic isn't in the betting itself—risk levels are just too outrageous. I've looked at on-chain perpetual data, and if trading depth and slippage are properly managed, it's actually easier to establish stable positions. The key is to keep up with private key management and multi-signature schemes; otherwise, it's still a trap.

0DTE those people are truly of a gambler's mindset, but on the other hand... this is indeed a gold mine, directly connected to on-chain perpetual contracts seamlessly. Retail investors have already been educated; coming on-chain is just a matter of minutes, it's not really a difficult customer acquisition issue. The key is who can first create a smooth user experience product. However, I still think those LP pools are the real money makers, the fee sharing sounds good at first, but when the market swings, they get violently liquidated, it's hilarious. The wave of perpetual contracts in the crypto world feels like it's already been beaten up, competition is too fierce. Honestly, the migration of funds from 0DTE players to the chain isn't as small a hurdle as it seems; not everyone is ready.

Haha, isn't this just bringing gamblers onto the chain? The essence hasn't changed. --- 0DTE gameplay is truly pure gambling; retail investors are going crazy. --- I agree, those claims of inclusive finance sound really far-fetched. It's better to just do straightforward contracts. --- Wait, isn't this logic a bit skewed... Perpetual contracts carry greater risks. --- Actually, the brokerage people have long been accustomed to high leverage. Moving over doesn't really require much learning. --- Perpetual contract LPs can also be easily wrecked. Sounds good in theory, but what about in practice? --- Who still believes in value investing? Everyone's playing with刺激, no wonder no one is doing anything in this space. --- Exactly, user demand is right here. Proper risk control is the key.

0DTE that set is really a gambler's game, a masterstroke in cutting leek. But to be fair, this logic is indeed interesting—moving these people onto the chain for perpetual play, that would be the real blue ocean. All those projects on the chain are just nonsense, constantly talking about value investing, but users just aren't buying it. You still have to go with human nature; high leverage betting never goes out of style. The only problem is lacking a good platform to support it. Damn, if this idea could actually be realized, it might be more valuable than any ecosystem development. But the barrier is quite high; how to retain users is the real challenge. 0DTE is basically a community casino, with incredibly high efficiency. If perpetual contracts could copy this gameplay... it really feels like it could explode. Honestly, it's just gambling with a different skin. On-chain or off-chain, there's no real difference; what matters is the thrill and the rush of high leverage.

0DTE this thing is truly a gambler's paradise; retail investors are really getting a bit crazy. On-chain perpetual contracts are indeed attractive, but whether these people can be truly converted depends on who can create the most seamless interaction. Reliable LP strategies can last longer; they are more stimulating than all-in bets but lack that quick thrill. Directly transplanting options traders' habits onto the chain, the logic is sound; it all depends on who can seize this opportunity. It's basically just gambling in a different place; the essence hasn't changed.

Oh wow, this logic is indeed brilliant. Retail investors have long been conditioned to gambler-like behavior by brokerage apps. On-chain is just a matter of changing the skin. Perpetual contracts are just the siblings of 0DTE options. The leverage betting setup can be seamlessly migrated. The question is, who can truly bring them into the fold? Basically, it all comes down to a killer UI and attractive rebate incentives. Users are already eager. However, trying to steadily make money with LP pools? Uh, it's basically unmanageable. Slippage and impermanent loss can quickly backfire.
