A couple of days ago, I heard someone mention $COLLECT as a new TGE project with a FDV just over a million. I impulsively used some idle funds from my wallet to buy in. Someone asked me why it immediately started to rise after I bought, honestly, I was completely clueless about this project at the time—just hoping to quickly make enough for a meal. Later, I calmed down and thought about it; it seems like the project is really driven by the contract logic, and since there weren’t many other selling points, I just held on. The price is still relatively stable now, so I’ll consider this round of experience as tuition fees.

When I have free time, I go participate in activities related to projects backed by HKUST. Recently, they have a registration bonus coupon mechanism that can be exchanged for small items, mainly aimed at potential airdrops later on. The project is still in early stages, so I’m watching to see if they will introduce a points system or something similar. Many people have already started participating, but I heard that registering on the web might trigger risk control measures, so it’s better to use the app.

Recently, there have been large-scale theft incidents involving Debot and Flow, which is a warning sign. When the market is slightly sluggish, various coin theft events tend to happen more frequently. Luckily, my small assets aren’t attractive to hackers, so I don’t have to worry too much about this.

Getting carried away and rushing in is basically a gambler's mentality, but on the other hand, low FDV indeed tends to be highly volatile. The HKUST project can be exploited for quick gains, but don't expect airdrops to change your life; early-stage projects are very risky. The debot theft incident shows that right before a bull market arrives, all kinds of black hands start moving. You need to be more cautious. Hold on to $COLLECT this time as paying tuition fees; anyway, you haven't lost too much. Contract logic is usually hard for ordinary people to understand; it's mostly about luck and gambling, not reliable.

I impulsively bought in, this is my daily routine haha Herding for profits is the real business, have you downloaded the app? This wave of thefts is back again, I really can't keep up Million FDV, it rises just because it says so. I can't tell if it's luck or skill Is the HKUST project reliable? Has anyone looked into it thoroughly? Just hold on to it, anyway I won't lose too much Small assets are actually safer, no one is targeting them haha I'm convinced by the contract logic alone Event enthusiasts will never overspend

I impulsively bought $COLLECT, just treat it as paying tuition haha The joy of arbitrage lies in the anticipation, although most likely nothing will come of it Whenever a coin theft event occurs, the market tanks—how can we break this cycle? No matter how good the contract logic is, if there’s no selling point, it’s useless; someone still needs to buy in The HKUST project just can’t register through the app, try the web version—risk control is really strict The advantage of small assets is right here, no one’s paying attention After this wave of market movement, everything goes silent—just waiting for airdrop redemption $COLLECT went from clueless to bottom-fishing, the whole process is just deleveraging

Getting carried away and going all-in—that's my daily routine, worth the tuition fees. I'm also farming that project at HKUST, just for free airdrops. Frequent theft incidents indicate that the overall environment isn't looking good. $COLLECT is doing well to stay steady now; don't overthink it. Many people lost money during the debot wave; gotta learn a lesson. Farming activities are all about the potential for that airdrop, taking a gamble. Small retail investors can rest easy; hackers don't care about our little assets. Projects with reliable contract logic are definitely worth holding. Web-based risk control is so strict; the app is still the safer choice. In this market, just breaking even is considered a win.

Haha, it's another story of going all-in and being forced to hold it. I understand too well. I'm also involved in the HKUST project. The app is indeed more reliable; the website has been frequently subjected to risk control measures. With such frequent coin thefts recently, we really need to be extra cautious. Whether paying tuition is worth it depends on whether we can succeed later on. Honestly, most people can't understand the contract logic; it's just gambling. It's better to try to "shear the sheep" multiple times; maybe one of them will take off.
