Surface level, space protocols seem like they're all about the grind: points, leaderboards, airdrop farming. The usual play-to-earn suspects.

But stick around for a bit, and the picture shifts. You start noticing that real value runs deeper than just token rewards.

What clicks is how your perspective on markets actually changes. You begin spotting which NFT collections have real momentum, which ones are just noise. That's the skill nobody really talks about—the ability to read what's actually happening in the space instead of chasing hype.

This is the truth. At first, everyone thought it was just airdrop profit, but later they realized that the real way to make money is to learn how to distinguish.

NGL, this is the level that airdrop farmers will never understand. 99% of people die right at the step of chasing hot topics.

That's why I always get cut off—I've been focusing only on farming points and haven't thought about learning to read the market trend.

ngl, this is the truth. Most people are here to farm tokens; only a few genuinely want to understand the market.

That's right, newcomers are indeed just earning points, but those who truly make money are the ones who understand the market.

At first glance, it does seem like a scam, but those who truly stay understand that kind of eye for detail.

To be honest, in the early stages it was really just about grinding points, but if you stay in it long enough, your perspective will truly change. Being able to distinguish which NFTs have potential and which are just empty hype is the real core competitiveness.

It may seem on the surface that all are mining schemes, but the logic of computing power profit ratios is actually more valuable.

NGL, early on, it was indeed a migrant worker mentality, but those who truly stayed got to that level of understanding.

ngl Actually, those who don't chase hot topics are the ones who make real money.
