#数字资产市场动态 I've always been quite interested in one thing — in this crypto market, what methods are you all using to make money? I’ve calculated and it seems there are already five different ways. I wonder if you focus on one area or if you are also pursuing multiple streams simultaneously?

Trading on Gate Exchange or other platforms, participating in liquidity mining, holding coins for interest, on-chain DeFi yields, and airdrops and incentives from various projects... It feels like there are quite a few channels as long as you're willing to explore. What about you? What are you mainly relying on now to increase your earnings?

I'll be honest, five different methods sound like a lot, but in reality, only one or two actually make money. There are too many liquidity mining traps, and gas fees are a killer. It's better to just do trading honestly. Holding coins for interest is stable, but the returns are indeed shrinking now, so it's not worth it.

Forget it, I just mine and farm airdrops. All the fancy stuff is just money-making schemes.

Multiple streams of income are the way to go; relying on a single source of profit is too fragile. I am now fully engaged in trading + mining + airdrops. Five different approaches are still not enough; the key is managing time effectively, otherwise it's easy to spread oneself too thin. Honestly, the returns from liquidity mining are too volatile, and you have to constantly watch gas fees, which is a bit tiring. Holding coins to earn interest is the most comfortable way—passive income. But you need to choose the right tokens, or it's all for nothing.

Relying on airdrops to make a living was really enjoyable during those few months. Now I feel like the competition is getting fiercer and fiercer. Running multiple strategies simultaneously is possible; you have to try everything to survive. However, the returns from liquidity mining are really becoming increasingly lousy. For those still mining now, what are you thinking? I’ve already calculated and decided to exit. Holding tokens for interest sounds great, but in reality, it’s just waiting to be exploited, right? Trading on Gate is the real gambling game. Don’t ask me how I know. There are too many pitfalls in on-chain DeFi. Be careful of those high-yield traps, everyone. It seems like these five strategies aren’t working well now. We’ll have to wait for the next cycle.

I'll give it a try. Currently, mainly mining to support coins, occasionally catching airdrops. Running multiple strategies simultaneously can easily distract attention; I feel like I should focus on a main one. Running 5 different paths at the same time? Bro, are you trying to exhaust yourself? Honestly, trading tests your mentality the most; mining actually allows for a good night's sleep. Liquidity mining carries the most difficult risks to control; I’ve already reduced my positions. DeFi yields are tempting, but you really need to check if the smart contract audits are thorough. It mainly depends on market rhythm. When there's an opportunity, go all-in on a certain direction; don’t be too greedy.

Liquidity mining is indeed quite inflated right now. Can it really reliably generate returns?
