The RGB protocol is currently experiencing FOMO. This time, let's analyze what is happening in the market.

Babe, the crypto world has been bustling and fluctuating recently - just as the FOMO of RGB has passed, the launch of BRC2.0 has been delayed, the Wizard NFT is doing great, and new protocols are popping up one after another. As an "old fan" who has been keeping an eye on the market with everyone, today let's peel back these lively facades and discuss what secrets are hidden behind them!

Let's talk about the most concerning BRC2.0. The originally planned launch date has suddenly been postponed to September 2nd, which has made many new investors feel uneasy. In fact, it's not just a simple technical issue behind this; there are rumors in the industry that it’s a tug-of-war over protocol control — after all, the new features involve off-chain EVM executors, and whoever masters this will hold significant ecological discourse power. However, looking at it from another perspective, the delay also gives us time to observe: Recently, inscriptions like LIQUID, SHIT, and DOGO have been extremely hot, especially when LIQUID first emerged with fresh gameplay, but now the Squirrel NFT has retraced from a high of 3000U to around 600 dollars, clearly showing some lack of momentum. The project team originally planned a large-scale airdrop at block 909969, but with the mainnet delay, they are likely to seize the opportunity to create another hype. Babes should pay attention at level one, but be cautious when picking up at level two.

Speaking of practical tools, I must praise our news flash feature! It pushes updates on any changes on the chain in real-time, with information sources that are both fast and comprehensive. Recently, many people have been asking how to deal with secondary anxiety. Let me secretly tell you a little trick: use the little A assistant in the APP (the path is in the lower left corner of the group chat "Little A Analysis"). When it comes to short-term trading, looking at data is much more reliable than relying on "feelings". It's a solid blessing for lazy people.

Here’s some new data for everyone. In the past two weeks, the top items on the leaderboard include DIESEL, GOLDANE, and TORTILLA. However, let me clarify that this is not investment advice!

Interestingly, as BRC2.0 gained popularity, the previous methane ecosystem clearly cooled down, with traffic and transactions decreasing significantly, leaving only a few grassroots projects still holding on. No one in the community is discussing the old standards anymore, as the saying goes, "play new, not old" is a hard rule in the circle. Even more interesting is that the old standards have quietly risen a bit recently, but they still haven’t exceeded their historical highs — a closer look at the on-chain data reveals: domestic users are quietly offloading, liquidity is decreasing, while overseas users are silently picking up the slack. This imbalance of supply and demand likely stems from those who have been stuck for more than half a year, hoping to break free.

Do you remember the time when runes were going crazy? It was flying with 5-20 times returns, and the ME platform also gained some popularity. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long, as ME has been encountering issues recently, with frequent indexing errors, leading to a decline in its reputation within the BTC ecosystem. Now, everyone prefers to go to Opensea. To be honest, the secondary market is quite miserable right now, and those babes who bought in recently must be feeling quite sour. By the way, how many people have minted runes? Raise your hand so I can see!

The rune craze has subsided, but the wizard NFT has taken the baton and become popular again. The Great Wizard (Taproot Wizard), as an early meme of BTC, was hyped during the inscription craze in 2023. The story of how my colleague became rich and left his job because of it is still a legend (while I'm still here chatting with everyone, sob). Recently, the price of the new Little Wizard is so high that it makes people hesitate, but the official says there is no competition between the two, which sounds quite mysterious. Don't be fooled by the abstract style of these NFT artworks; with the hype of BRC2.0, the prices have truly skyrocketed.

The community says this is new money brought in by ground promotion, and after the early chips were scattered, the hot money started to run. Now it is basically the "big boss" of the BTC ecosystem, but here's the key point: absolutely do not catch the falling knife! Absolutely do not catch the falling knife!

The key point is here! The RGB Bitlight Labs project has been launched on August 6th, with a relatively large total supply, but it can be worth paying attention to. Speaking of the RGB protocol, I've been hearing people hype it up since I entered the space, and after two years of anticipation, it finally went live. There are plenty of operation tutorials on Twitter, and the cost is around 5U. Recently, many imitation projects have also emerged, so if you're looking to invest in new projects, it's advisable to keep an eye on the top few candidates. Here’s a little tip: It's most worthwhile to research new protocols right after they are released and before the FOMO kicks in. Check the discussions on Twitter, the community's movements, and then look into the distribution of token addresses; accumulating these details slowly helps avoid pitfalls.

Finally, let's talk about the insights from RGB going from FOMO to a lull: the hot money in the market comes quickly and leaves even faster. To survive, remember three points: first, seize the information asymmetry and keep an eye on new protocols that haven't been covered by the mainstream; second, don't go all in; diversifying your holdings can help manage risks; third, manage your emotions. When the community shouts "the next Bitcoin," it's often the time to stay calm. As long as you're still at the table, opportunities will always be there. Let's take our time together.
