Trends

The third Friday of December is a Triple Witching Day.

There is a Triple Witching Day every quarter.

The decline is too severe, I dare not make a chart.

Additionally, the M2 supply has dried up. Unlike previous trends, BTC hasn’t experienced a significant drop due to institutional buying. However, the altcoin season has come to an end. Institutions can issue these tokens at any time without the need to purchase them.

What I Am Reading

This week, I’ve been a super airdrop player, deploying at least thirty airdrop scripts and creating a lot of auto-check-in scripts. It’s exhausting 😩.

1. A little tip

Although playing T2E games on Telegram is now outdated, and the rewards are just for fun, it’s still worth a try.

Search for the name of the TG mini-program you want to participate in on GitHub, and there’s usually someone who has written the script for it.

My personal opinion is that these games lack entertainment value and cannot generate the positive gold farming spiral like P2E. Instead, they often use user activity to sell their ad space at a good price. For example, the DOGS airdrop allows users to bind their exchange accounts. Those who bind their accounts can get tokens early, which is useful for running away before the project rug-pulls. This brought BigGet a batch of new users.

Many mini-games require binding a specific wallet to earn points, like Tomato strongly recommending OKX Wallet, which is another form of ad space.

There are also fake social media follows, essentially selling followers. Some disgusting project teams will eventually sell their X account or TG channel.

However, this ad-selling traffic model won’t last long, as the potential user base for exchanges and wallets has already been fully tapped.

Also, most of the users of these mini-games are bots, generating worthless traffic brought by garbage users.

2. Writing your own check-in script

I use Playwright.

• Playwright supports both headless and headed modes, making it suitable for server environments where no graphical interface is needed to complete automation tasks.
• Playwright can simulate user behaviors like clicking, typing, and navigating, which is perfect for automating daily tasks such as web check-ins, data scraping, or form submissions.
• It offers strong support for dynamic content and can handle JavaScript-rendered pages, ensuring the reliability of automation scripts.
• Playwright supports multiple browsers, including Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit, which helps avoid bot detection.
• Combined with Cron, it can schedule tasks.
