I have to admit that this alkane protocol Alkanes, filled with ground promotion and a Chinese-style plate vibe, really seems to come from foreigners. Last year, I criticized ordinal, criticized unisat, criticized the domestic Bitcoin plates, but this year I won't. After experiencing projects like avail, s&x, and lagrange, which were constantly hyped by foreign projects but whose market cap was less than that of a local dog coin, especially after the airdrop shares of the latter two were less than 0.5%, I feel that whether it's a domestic project or not has become less important. Since when did domestic projects start to gain a notorious reputation? In 2017, domestic projects like NEO, Qtum, VeChain, Aeternity brought hundreds of times profits, and even TRON and BNB can be considered domestic projects, right? In 2021, domestic projects like Conflux, Star Atlas, and dodo also brought huge returns. In 2022, the galxe and the running shoe StepN that I participated in were also domestic projects, and their reputations were quite good at that time. There are many more that I can't remember. However, in recent years, domestic projects have not been doing well, and the consensus formed by airdrop promoters is that domestic projects and Indian projects are not worth playing with. At first glance, the alkane protocol Alkanes feels like a domestic project, but when I tried to find a definitive basis as I did before, I actually failed; I couldn't find it! If a domestic project can disguise itself to fool me, then it is quite impressive. Entering early and exiting quickly is all that matters. Just like the ordi in 23-24, I feel that this is all being played by domestic players, with hundreds of times returns for those who entered early, while those who entered late are still cursing. Compared to the leading coin $ORDI with a market cap of over a billion, and leading NFTs like Bit Frog and Node Monkey, it seems that the few leading tokens and NFT competitors of Alkanes still have huge room for development. So I bought some, but I don't recommend everyone to follow. I'm just trying to transition from an old-school stubborn airdrop player to a new-style compatible player. Because I found that the times when I made money the fastest were when I could accept new things. I previously resisted ordi, resisted local dog coins, and missed many opportunities. So this year, I tried the ton NFT gifts, tried to engage with local dog coins, and tried new meta protocols. I'm trying many new things because I don't want to miss the new breakout points that are about to emerge in 2025, even though I don't know what they are. But it definitely isn't Alkanes, haha.
