Christmas Eve should be peaceful, but the ecosystem is a bit exhausting with all the commotion. 350,000 users are still glued to their screens, but today they didn't get the expected market fluctuations and can only pass the time with a few volatile coins. What's most frustrating? The previous round of Pre-TGE projects still has to be locked for another half month, while the current Airdrop returns have already "sharply decreased," and the number of people sharing the cake continues to increase.
To be frank, what is everyone really doing this "liver sharing" for? Are we truly relying on some "future big shot"'s promise?
The airdrop has increasingly become a war of attrition: you spend time, expend energy, and invest real money, only to possibly receive a ticket full of uncertainty in the end. The waiting period is long and torturous, and there is always the risk of depreciation. When returns become difficult to predict, we should consider another way—how can we ensure that those "sleeping" funds do not lose value during the long wait?
This involves a key asset allocation issue: using deterministic assets to hedge against the risks of uncertain returns.
In simple terms, putting all your chips on the Airdrop is too risky. You need a cornerstone, a "ballast" that can steadily anchor the asset value regardless of market fluctuations or whether the project "defaults".
This is precisely the problem that decentralized stablecoins can solve. While most people are still desperately trying to farm tokens, the savvy players have quietly done two things:
On one hand, a portion of the funds should be steadily anchored in value. Allocate some assets into decentralized stablecoins like USDD, which do not pursue the myth of becoming rich overnight; their value lies in traversing market cycles and consistently maintaining purchasing power. This is the true meaning of "trust through stability."
