Honestly, many people in on-chain finance spend a lot of time but still can't make money. It's not a lack of project channels; the key issue is that they are always chasing those overhyped stories.
Recently, I’ve been paying attention to an interesting direction—general collateral infrastructure. At first glance, it may not seem "sexy," but a deeper look reveals that this thing is actually quite critical. Currently, on-chain assets are piled up but used very inefficiently—large sums of capital are locked in various protocols, which not only limits liquidity but also compresses yield opportunities.
The problem this track aims to solve is: stop blindly collateralizing assets and instead enable them to circulate more smoothly within the entire DeFi ecosystem, allowing for more active participation. Projects like $FF may not see explosive popularity in the short term, but once the general collateral model is truly adopted and promoted, its value tends to accumulate gradually rather than spike all at once.
These kinds of projects may not be the most stable choice, but it's worth keeping an eye on them. Are you the type of investor willing to preemptively position in this "slow-burn" direction, or do you prefer to chase current hot trends?

ngl the whole "chasing old narratives" thing hits different... most people just farming hype cycles instead of actually thinking about infrastructure layers that matter

It's really about whether the infrastructure can actually be utilized, which is the key.

Exactly, the problem is that most people simply don't have the patience to wait for slow-burn projects.

Oh, once again talking about collateral infrastructure. It feels like someone should have taken this seriously a long time ago.

Ultimately, it's about finding those unseen opportunities; chasing hot topics has turned everyone into a rookie.
