Websites are no longer in demand. It's the era of mobile phones. A bunch of schoolchildren and Indians are tapping on the single button on the screen hoping for a lifecoin.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The meta of multi-accounters is about to change soon.

And it's not about KYC, which can be passed with the help of a dozen Indonesians and a few five-dollar bills. It's about the age of the wallet, about the score calculated from a conditional formula: the number of transactions multiplied by the number of days since the very first.</p><p style="text-align: start">The "age" of the wallet is the only thing that cannot be artificially inflated. Buying a "warmed-up" wallet on the secondary market, like a Twitter account, won't work. It's unlikely that a crypto enthusiast would want to replenish a wallet whose previous owner knows the seed. We are waiting for the introduction of changing privates as in Starknet and a new section of the OTC market.</p><div><div class="callout-base callout-tip" data-node-view-wrapper="" style="white-space:normal"><img src="https://paragraph.xyz/editor/callout/tip-icon.png" class="callout-button"><div class="callout-content"><div><p style="text-align: start">Don't forget to subscribe to paragraph and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out dont-break-out dont-break-out dont-break-out dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://warpcast.com/crancho">warpcast</a></p></div></div></div></div><p style="text-align: start">In the future, they will also attach non-transferable NFTs with Web 3 activity to the wallet's age.

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: start">Ethereum programmers, led by Vitalik, have decided that regular crypto users cannot handle the storage of mnemonic phrases... and have come up with an account abstraction (yes, it's also a smart contract).</p><p style="text-align: start">The essence is that even Binance traders and grandmothers could use "Metamask" without guides, leading to mass adoption. This time for sure. The wallet's public/private key pair transforms into smart contracts, opening up a myriad of customization possibilities. This includes sending stablecoins without using ETH for gas fees, programmable spending limits like allowing no more than $1000 per week, whitelisting addresses for token transfers, and even the coveted "forgot password" button for those unable to write down 12 words on paper. You can already try it out, for example, with the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://www.argent.xyz/">Argent wallet</a>.</p><p style="text-align: start">Two questions: Will it be hacked like decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and will there be a backdoor for a regulator that imposes a sanctioned limit of $10k? However, the implementation of the idea will involve Ethereum maintainers, increasing the chances of security holes being addressed.</p><p style="text-align: start">...and the name is quite strange. What's this? Abstraction? They could have at least called it "smart-accounts."</p><ul><li><p style="text-align: start"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2021/01/11/recovery.html">Vitalik's article on wallet recovery</a> </p></li><li><p style="text-align: start"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2021/01/11/recovery.html">Description of abstractions in the Ethereum roadmap</a></p></li></ul><p style="text-align: start">As of now, the idea has been implemented in the form of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://info.etherscan.com/what-is-erc4337/">ERC-4337</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: start"><em>With the resurgence of retro hunting in the market, a new wave has arrived — the third generation of crypto bullruns. The newly initiated have only heard tales from the elders about the mythical bullruns. But the halving is getting closer, so it's time for newcomers to think about an action plan.</em></p><div><div class="callout-base callout-tip" data-node-view-wrapper="" style="white-space:normal"><img src="https://paragraph.xyz/editor/callout/tip-icon.png" class="callout-button"><div class="callout-content"><div><p style="text-align: start">Don't forget to subscribe to paragraph and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out dont-break-out dont-break-out dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://warpcast.com/crancho">warpcast</a></p></div></div></div></div><div data-type="subscribeButton" class="center-contents"><a class="email-subscribe-button" href="https://paragraph.xyz/@crancho/memberships">Subscribe</a></div><h3>Stay Focused</h3><p style="text-align: start">Conscious diversification into 10-20 assets, no more — that's what's needed. Remember Pareto's Law: 20% of asset efforts bring 80% of profit results. Cover sectors, not just protocols. Instead of 5 L2 sector coins, assemble a top tier from NFT, GameFi, Social, Oracle, DeFi, L2, etc. The sector's hype pushes all incoming tokens.</p><h3>Build a Team</h3><p style="text-align: start">Being a bullrun means many new projects, many new altcoins, many new launchpads every 24 hours. Keeping up with everything solo is challenging. Gather like-minded individuals, create a group chat, and divide responsibilities while exploring information fields. In the evening, delve deeper into the researched information in voice chat.</p><h3>Hype &gt; Fundamental</h3><p style="text-align: start">Follow the threads. Hype will be fluid. The bull market trend sequence in 2021-22: DeFi &gt; NFT &gt; Metaverse &gt; Move to earn. Those who adapted and jumped in on time are sitting on millions of dollars; others hope to recoup their Chia hard drive farms and Stepn sneakers to this day.</p><h3>Unsubscribe from Influencers</h3><p style="text-align: start">Influencers with a large number of followers during the bullrun will attract rivers of money, especially to YouTubers. Any scam will be shilled, promising thousands of Xs. The task of influencers is to create FOMO to execute the advertising contract. Some will try to sell Solana at $250, others will push into Ponzi schemes. Monetary losses, of course, convert into experience, but don't convert the entire bank.</p><h3>Balance</h3><p style="text-align: start">Think rationally. Fixing profit when a coin has given +30% is not smart, but forgetting that the bull market will end sooner or later is unwise. Sell the main portfolio if there are significant "Xs." Don't imagine buying a Lamborghini on an unsecured deposit. Keep an eye on the euphoria index. Particularly productive individuals may keep a diary; reviewing one's own thoughts is refreshing.</p>]]></content:encoded>

Let's start the search</h2><p>It's important to understand that the maximum growth occurs in the first minutes after liquidity is poured into the pair. Each person determines the golden mean between research and missed opportunities with 'X' factors, but without a superficial analysis, the chance of earning is close to zero.</p><p style="text-align: start"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://dexscreener.com/">Dex Screener</a> is the terminal of swaps, where the journey into the so-called 'fucking deep' begins. The New Pair tab with sorting by novelty shows only newly created pairs. You need to play around with the liquidity filter—less liquidity means faster takeoff, but more often it's a scam.

If your bank is $100, swapping on Ethereum with $20 gas fees doesn't make sense. To save time, I also recommend turning off BSC; 99.9% of it is likely a scam.

If a token has been around for more than an hour with 20 unique interactions, it's probably not in demand. 200 is good, 300+ is excellent; snipers hunt and drive up the price.

Checking Deeper</h2><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/8f02f43e310bc0fba2cef291c98ceaa8.png" class="image-node embed"><figcaption htmlattributes="[object Object]" class="">Don't buy something like this either</figcaption></figure><p>Copy the contract address from Dex Screener and take it to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://detecthoneypot.com/">Detect Honey Pot</a>. This tool simulates buying/selling, shows fees, and the percentage of tokens in the deployer's wallet. As you scroll down the site, you'll see the connection between wallets that interacted with the smart contract.</p><h2 style="text-align: center">5. Social Media</h2><p>The success of a meme depends on the speed of its spread. The more people know about it, the more they buy, and the higher the price. And the faster, the better. At this stage, once you are confident that the contract is not a scam, you proudly hit the project's Twitter button in Dex Screener.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/b9000fdc2d9f2349eeb783f70a994eba.png" class="image-node embed"><figcaption htmlattributes="[object Object]" class="">The community spreads the meme</figcaption></figure><p>Great when a new post with $token_ticker comes out every few minutes. Tweets with charts, like 'look how it's soaring,' are good too, but they are often made by bots. Memes, on the other hand, are driven by people, and the community is crucial.</p><p style="text-align: start">Along with the ticker, they often tag the project's account. The number of followers plays a reverse role compared to serious projects. An account with 200,000 followers is more likely to spread a scam than an account with 200.</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/41770d033f19bd2b330ed585d567ce69.png" class="image-node embed"><figcaption htmlattributes="[object Object]" class="">Typical meme site</figcaption></figure><p>In the Twitter bio, you'll find the website and other social media links. Compare the contract address on the website with what's in the screener. Shields don't always have unique names. You can also check activity on Telegram or Discord.</p><h2 style="text-align: center">6. Should you buy?</h2><p>And here's the fork, two strategies:</p><ol><li><p>Check the above in 1-2 minutes and jump in with both feet to not miss the growth of the first candles. It's usually the biggest, sometimes by several thousand percent.</p></li><li><p>Don't rush. It's good to thoroughly check the token. Buy on the first price pullback, with a correction to the 0.5 or 0.618 Fibonacci level—the 'second wave' strategy.</p></li></ol><p style="text-align: start">In the second strategy, you can leisurely buy 'manually,' lazily pressing the approve button, and even if the transaction doesn't go through the first time, you still have time to catch the rocket. The first strategy is more challenging. Telegram sniper bots can help here:</p><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/c797784b14dbe7d3c341fc6ad27610fe.png" class="image-node embed"><figcaption htmlattributes="[object Object]" class="">Interface Banana Gun</figcaption></figure><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://bananagun.io/">Banana Gun</a> or <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://www.maestrobots.com/">Maestro </a>— the functionality of both is similar: replenish the built-in wallet, specify slippage and maximum gwei. Don't forget to enable the built-in Anti-Rug. For each transaction, the bot will incur a commission of 0.5 - 1%. By the way, enthusiasts claim that Banana Gun works faster. </p><p><strong>Instructions for the bots: </strong></p><ul><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://docs.bananagun.io/">Banana Gun </a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://docs.maestrobots.com/">Maestro</a></p></li></ul><h2 style="text-align: center">7. Selling?</h2><p>If you guessed the rocket number and are already flying to the moon, don't be too greedy; take back your invested funds with a x3 profit by selling a third. </p><p>Use a large deposit; don't hit the order book too hard. Crashing the price due to low liquidity will cause panic selling by others. Lock in profits in portions of $300-500.</p><p style="text-align: start">After securing the main profit, leave a 'moon bag' — a small amount just in case the token goes x1000.</p><h2 style="text-align: center">8. Hunting for Alpha</h2><figure float="none" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: null;"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/8ccf24679a6f1b9b21ae28b136e58b47.png" class="image-node embed"><figcaption htmlattributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><p>The third secret strategy — don't buy. In Dex Screener, there's a tab with top traders. Look for guys who put in a little but took out a lot. Click on the wallets of all you find. In a new tab, EtherScan will open; copy the address and go to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://debank.com/">DeBank</a>. Does the profile look human-like? If the wallet age is 3 days — discard it. If there's only one token in the balance — into the trash.</p><p style="text-align: start">You can monitor the actions of those who passed the selection either in DeBank itself, but you'll have to manually click through the transactions of each. Or in the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="dont-break-out dont-break-out" href="https://t.me/EtherDROPS6_bot">EtherDrops Tracking Bot</a> — a Telegram bot with instant transaction notifications. Add &gt; Wallet. In the free version, there's a limit of 20 wallets for tracking.</p><h2 style="text-align: center">9. Postscript</h2><p>Noticed that volume influx occurs somewhere between 18:00 to 4:00. If the price drops by morning, don't rush to sell — wait for prime time. Buying a token that has existed for more than 24 hours reduces both the likelihood of a scam and the 'X' factors.</p><p style="text-align: start">Keep trying and trying again. Hone your eye.
