Recently, I've been looking at Bluwhale, and it has quite a unique approach. There are no pre-sales, and no institutional endorsements; the entire project is being pushed forward by the community bit by bit. The team consists of seasoned entrepreneurs from Stanford and Berkeley, trying to build an AI network that allows open access and free participation, with even the ranking of agents and traffic driven by users. In the past couple of days, they launched a new feature that lets you choose the AI you support to help it climb the rankings. This leaderboard is not just for show; the subsequent ranking and distribution rhythm on the platform will be influenced by it. You can access it here: The operation is very light, and you can participate in just a few steps. The process is transparent on-chain, and the sense of participation is quite strong. $BLUP just went live on several platforms yesterday, and it performed well on its first day, even making it to the top three in the hot zone on Gate. Gate: MEXC: In the Bluwhale network, $BLUP is a core access token that can unlock permissions and elevate levels, with more interactive opportunities in the future. The project is still in its early stages, the pace isn't fast, but the foundation is clear, and the direction is quite defined. If you've also been looking into the intersection of AI and blockchain recently, you can start experiencing it from this entry.

Recently, some friends have been asking me which OTC platform is more reliable now. Actually, I revisited this question myself a while ago. The current environment has changed; just looking at who has the best price or the most listings is no longer enough. More importantly, we need to consider whether the platform's risk control mechanisms are proactive and whether merchant management is effectively closed-loop. In the past two months, I have been using @HuobiGlobal's C2C selection platform quite a bit. To be honest, some details are more mature than I expected. Especially after this page update, many experiences have genuinely improved. First, the label system for selected merchants is something I think was a smart change. Now, each merchant has a black gold label, and the platform displays their real-name status, whether they have a history of freezing, their ratings, and trading stability directly on the list page. This means that before I even click into the chat box, I can basically make a preliminary judgment on whether this merchant is reliable. For example, in the past, I would habitually choose based on price first, then check if they were an old merchant or had any risk records. But now, I prefer to select from merchants with a black gold label. Although the price may not be the absolute lowest, the entire process feels more secure, with information symmetry and higher efficiency. Regarding risk control, I think Huobi has a clear advantage here. They have launched a keyword alert system. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, but later, during a friend's deposit and withdrawal process, some sensitive words were mentioned, and the platform immediately popped up a reminder about conversation risks, with backend personnel intervening right away. This mechanism is essentially a sensitive word model trained on historical data, deployed in user chat scenarios. Once triggered, the system responds automatically. I really appreciate this "preemptive defense line" because the worst thing in OTC is thinking everything is normal, only to find out that when something goes wrong, no one is there to help you. Huobi's mechanism allows for early intervention in risk control, with system monitoring, manual review follow-ups, and 24/7 online inspections, achieving near-minute-level responses. I have verified this several times, both during the day and at night. Even at nearly 1 AM, the platform was able to respond quickly. It gives a sense of being backed by a "duty team," which is indeed reassuring. In terms of merchant selection mechanisms, the selection platform has set hard thresholds, such as requiring real-name verification, no freezing, no abnormal behavior, and stable trading. The platform also conducts regular compliance reviews. I looked at several frequently listed selected merchants, and they are all long-time users, with some having tens of thousands of transactions and consistently stable reputations. From my experience, I have a strong feeling: Huobi is not treating selection as a "selling point" but is genuinely using mechanisms to filter and operate a long-term trustworthy trading pool. This is genuinely valuable for those of us who need to frequently deposit and withdraw funds. One change that may not be so obvious, but I particularly care about, is that selected merchants respond to orders much faster and more professionally. There are rarely situations where they suddenly change accounts or use vague language. The process is clear, funds arrive on time, and the connection is smooth. This kind of detailed experience may not be obvious after one or two times, but over time, the difference is significant. Finally, regarding the most sensitive aspects like price and fees, I want to share a bit of my understanding: sometimes the price may differ by a few cents, but what you save is a lot of communication and repeated confirmation time, as well as the cost of accountability after issues arise. Especially if you are trading a larger amount, the uncertainty of "unstable processes" becomes very pronounced. So my current selection criteria lean more towards mechanisms. Even if the prices are not the most competitive, I am willing to pay a little more for a cleaner process and timely platform intervention for more secure delivery. These are just my personal experiences; they are not recommendations and certainly not a stance. But if you are like me and need stable deposits and withdrawals, perhaps you can try out the overall rhythm of Huobi's selection platform now. It may not be what you remember about OTC anymore.

On August 1st, a group friend said that apart from Bitcoin and Ethereum DeFi, everything else is a shitcoin. On August 2nd, a group friend said that DeFi and RWA are also shitcoins. This emotional reaction comes from inner disappointment. And this disappointment stems from hope. Hope comes from the expectations of a bull market and the four-year cycle. Carving a boat is possible, but does it have to be carved according to the four-year cycle?

Record this: How I started turning what I write into assets. For a long time, writing DeFi strategy content has been, to be honest, quite a thankless task. You spend a lot of time carefully organizing your logic, doing data comparisons, and writing out execution ideas. You post it on Twitter or Mirror, and maybe some people like it, retweet it, or even follow it, but looking back, it doesn't really provide much direct return for you. The content is seen, but that’s where it ends. It doesn’t really circulate, let alone turn into an asset. What INFINIT V2 offers is a brand new path. It allows strategies to not just be written for people to see, but to be packaged into on-chain executable components, publicly published, and automatically record actions during execution and invocation, providing feedback to creators based on actual performance. You only need to write a strategy worth trying, and the system will help you complete the subsequent steps: generating execution structures, deploying on-chain, and tracking invocation performance. The previous path of "content → interaction → vague reputation" can now finally extend to a closed loop of "content → execution → on-chain revenue." For someone like me, who is used to recording trading logic and analyzing frameworks, this change is quite significant. Because it not only optimizes the creator experience but truly reconstructs the value path of strategy content. The barrier to creation has lowered and become more friendly. What surprises me even more is that INFINIT V2 has not just created a complex system but has genuinely considered "how to allow more people to participate." You don’t need to write code, you don’t need to build your own page, and you don’t even need to understand too many details of the underlying DeFi protocols. As long as you can clearly express your thoughts, for example, I want to create a rolling stablecoin yield strategy, the system can understand your input, generate the corresponding execution structure, and break down a complete set of on-chain logic through Agent Swarm. The whole process feels like writing a prompt, but this time what is generated is not an image, but a directly executable strategy module. What does this mean for creators? It means you don’t have to compromise with the distribution mechanisms of content platforms to monetize, you don’t need to chase traffic formulas, but can turn truly useful strategies into assets, leaving it to the on-chain ecosystem to evaluate, invoke, and provide feedback. Moreover, the execution status, invocation volume, and historical performance of these strategies will all be recorded, accumulating into your personal reputational layer. A strategy that is frequently invoked and performs well doesn’t need anyone’s endorsement; its data is the best proof. FINIT Yappers' final call 📢 By the way, now is just the right moment to speak up. There are only 5 days left in Season 1 of INFINIT, and the Yapper leaderboard has not yet closed. If you have been following this ecosystem, looking at strategies, or writing content recently, you can actually participate in this event. This is not a traditional ranking game; it’s more like encouraging everyone to write down their understanding and observations. You don’t need to write technical articles, nor do you need to predict the market; just sharing your thoughts on strategies, collaboration, and content monetization is already very meaningful. Your voice is important. Your insights deserve to be recorded. At this stage, speaking out loud may be more valuable than you think. Summary: It’s not a sudden explosion, but the path has finally taken shape. After using it for a few weeks, I increasingly feel that INFINIT is not just a strategy platform; it’s more like building a "collaborative on-chain content system." It connects several originally scattered things: content creation, on-chain execution, data tracking, revenue feedback, and reputation accumulation. This is a truly operational ecological logic. For users, you can reuse expert strategies or write one yourself. For creators, you can finally see how what you write truly turns into long-term value. For the entire system, this is a process of moving from "tools" to "networks." If you are also interested in strategy creation, content monetization, or just the collaborative model of Web3, this version of INFINIT is worth spending some time to understand. You are also welcome to write down your thoughts now; perhaps this post will be your first on-chain asset.

Every day in the market, it's all about the dopamine rush and the thrill of spending money on gambling, it's consumption. Those who truly make money only see winning. They are not interested in pure gambling, nor in the daily financial stimulation. Most of the time is spent waiting, waiting for the right moment, waiting for the moment to pull the trigger and achieve victory.

Old Bao's attitude this time is very firm, and the possibility of a rate cut in September has decreased again. However, whether or not there is a rate cut does not affect Bitcoin's ability to continue setting new historical highs! This year, even without a rate cut, Bitcoin has still set multiple new highs. It's just that after a rate cut, the bull market will be even crazier, and BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, etc. will rise even higher.

In the past few days, the results of the physical examination have come out, shuttle through various video software to find answers, stay up late for a long time, do not exercise, and my immunity has begun to decline. The older I get, the more I feel that many moments in life need to be faced by myself, no one can say that there is no one to say, the market is getting more and more volatile Anxiety is full of nerves, adjust your state, arrange your work and rest reasonably, you have walked so much alone, what are you afraid of.

In the past, when I did live broadcasting, my income was always involved. Now, live streaming has also begun to move towards DeFi, and a lot of changes have quietly occurred. $SBX is the core token of @Soulbound_TV and will be listed on MEXC on July 25, followed by platforms such as BingX. There is no advertising interference, creators can get more than 80% of the revenue share, on-chain settlement is also very fast, and the overall mechanism is more transparent and friendly. StreamFi is slowly starting to be walked. If you are interested, you might as well take a look early. #SBX #StreamFi #DeFi #MEXC #Web3Creator

Looking forward to the project launch and reaching the moon💗
