# SECRETODEFI: New DeFi Narratives, Avoiding Scams, and Being a Content Creator

> Source: [SECRETODEFI: New DeFi Narratives, Avoiding Scams, and Being a Content Creator](https://youtube.com/watch?v=dHSRXYhn9j8)

## Summary

In this live stream, the host interviews Mark, known as Secreto Defi, a crypto content creator and DeFi specialist. Mark shares his journey into crypto, lessons from scams, strategies for airdrops, and his views on emerging DeFi narratives and the future of the sector.

### Key Points

- **Mark's Crypto Journey** [01:49] — Mark entered crypto two years ago on his son's recommendation, buying tokens without understanding. He moved from Shiba to DeFi after realizing CEXs didn't offer returns, and has been focused on DeFi ever since.
- **Learning from Scams** [03:53] — Mark fell for a honeypot scam, where a token's smart contract only allows certain wallets to sell. He emphasizes that scams are a normal part of learning in crypto and that mistakes teach more than victories.
- **Testnets as a Learning Tool** [07:32] — Mark recommends using testnets to learn DeFi without risk: download a wallet, do swaps, create pools, bridge, and buy/sell NFTs. This hands-on practice is superior to theoretical knowledge.
- **Why He Started Creating Content** [08:46] — Mark started creating content because there was little Spanish-language crypto information. He began with Phantom network content, then moved from YouTube to Twitter for faster, more immediate updates.
- **Biggest Mistake: Obsessing Over Control** [14:21] — Mark's biggest mistake was obsessing over why things weren't working, both in investments and content. He learned to accept that not everything is controllable and to develop a calmer, more consistent approach.
- **Investment Strategy: Focus on DeFi** [17:33] — Mark doesn't speculate on coins he doesn't understand. He holds Bitcoin and Ethereum but focuses his investments on DeFi tokens and narratives, where he has deep knowledge and can track opportunities.
- **Biggest Airdrop: Arkham Intelligence** [20:44] — Mark's largest airdrop was from Arkham Intelligence, which gave around $200 free with zero risk. He also received Aptos, Arbitrum, Blur, and Space ID airdrops.
- **How to Choose Airdrops** [23:30] — Mark advises focusing on networks without native tokens that are likely to launch one, like Arbitrum or Optimism. Use the ecosystem actively (stake, bridge, swap) to generate volume and interactions.
- **Promising Airdrops for Next Year** [26:19] — Mark highlights Venom Network (free, no investment) and ZetaChain (requires capital but has strong tech). He also mentions LayerZero and StarkNet as potential high-reward airdrops.
- **Where to Find Airdrop Information** [30:34] — Mark recommends building a theoretical foundation first: read, join communities, ask questions. Use testnets, then start with small capital on mainnet. Filter Twitter information to avoid overload.
- **DeFi Narratives to Watch** [35:14] — Mark predicts decentralized casinos and betting protocols will explode due to real revenue generation. He also sees a shift from centralized exchanges to decentralized alternatives as users become more educated.
- **Uniswap's Future** [37:47] — Mark doubts Uniswap will capture 95% of volume because investors seek early opportunities in smaller protocols. Large institutions may use Uniswap for stable returns, but competition will persist.
- **Overrated Projects** [45:38] — Mark dislikes Cardano, citing prejudice and lack of conviction. He believes Polkadot is poorly managed but could resurface, and he likes H-bar for its technology.
- **Bitcoin Price Prediction** [47:59] — Mark is uncertain about Bitcoin hitting a new all-time high, noting that a lot of capital is needed and the economic situation differs from 2021. He warns against expecting every altcoin to recover its previous highs.
- **Influences and Content Creation** [51:01] — Mark followed Rodrigo (Pockets) early on, and later 'deficit' (best crypto strategy). He doesn't fall in love with projects, keeps his portfolio dynamic, and values subscriptions over likes for community support.

### Conclusion

Mark's insights emphasize the importance of hands-on learning, avoiding emotional attachment, and focusing on high-potential airdrops and DeFi narratives. His advice is practical for both beginners and experienced investors looking to navigate the evolving crypto landscape.

Wednesday live stream with Professor. Today, as always, we have another guest. You know the format, I'll be a little late, and in the following weeks, we'll have more guests. Each time, you can get to know more people in the
similar values ​​and create valuable content. Damn, the camera's acting up again, valuable content. Damn, the camera's acting up again, live stream issues right at the start. In theory,
today we're with Secreto Defi and, obviously, Kevin. So, for those of you who don't know him, first question: sir, I'm going to ask you, well, who are you and a little bit about how you got started in the crypto sector? Okay, well, first, thank you for
the invitation. I'm here for a little while, chatting, and above all, so that people can get to know me a little better. For those who don't know, well, on social media I'm Secreto Defi, but my name is Mark, and I've been in this sector for a little over two
years, although creating content like this publicly for a year and a half at most, if that. I got into this  Well, obviously, it was on the recommendation of someone else who had no idea about it—my son. If I tell you what he told me to buy, I probably shouldn't
be here, but he said I had to buy two, so I bought two right away. It worked out well; I did had to buy two, so I bought two right away. It worked out well; I did n't understand why, but it worked out. Then I moved on to Shiba and
thought, "This is great! This is going really well!" Until, of course, what happened happened. From then on, I Until, of course, what happened happened. From then on, I saw that in the CECs (Consumer Exchange Accounts), there were things about not generating returns, I don't know what, and I
started to get a little curious to try it out. I tried it, but it didn't really convince me. That's when
about DeFi, and I'm still at it today. So that would be the beginning, which in reality hasn't been very long. I've been in this sector for a while; it feels like I've been here for 10 years because it's so intense, but not at all.
so intense, but not at all. They say here that a year reality. So it's like dogs, luckily, I'm not going to But it 's very intense,
's very intense, 100%. Okay, and having said that, with the beginnings and all, we also like to ask because I think answering it, whether it's yes or no, think answering it, whether it's yes or no,
in these early stages when you don't know much, you're starting in the crypto world, as you said, the DeFi world, which is quite extensive, if you've ever been scammed and why it happened. Well, look, obviously to learn you have to
make a lot of mistakes, it's normal, so nobody should be scared if you've lost money or been scammed because unfortunately it's a normal process, I think, in such a new sector where we don't really know what it is.
So yes, it has happened to me, luckily it hasn't been many cases, but I have fallen for a honeypot, not one of those typical Telegram pump groups where they only share charts with green candles constantly.
So at that moment, when you don't know much, you think, "Damn, a token that's definitely going to go up," you buy it, and when you want to sell it, plus they really play on the investor's mindset, not that they see they've put in 200
not that they see they've put in 200 dollars, and in the swap it keeps going from 500 to 800,000. You say, "Damn, I've already got 500 here in 10 minutes." Okay, then sell function. So it's impossible, but oh well, it's just another thing you have to go through. You gain
experience, you never do it again, and it's also a reason to learn You want to transfer tokens, and in principle, in the order book, there are sales. Then you
start investigating and you start making excuses, like, "Well, I don't want it to happen to me." And it's a... I don't know, it's a cycle you have to go through. to explain this to people in case what you described ever happens to them, where you
but it's actually configured in the smart contract so that only certain wallets can sell. What they do is disguise the graph a bit. Because if you enter a token that's just a green line, then something's going on.
selling, it says, "Well, that's normal," and then...  It turns out to be a scam. So, as you say, it's 100% learning in these cases. Exactly, and then there are token purchases that go nowhere. Well, obviously, that's an everyday occurrence, as long as
you know what you're doing. Of course, this requires a certain amount of knowledge and experience in the market. But as long as it's a percentage of your portfolio that you know you can lose, that's what they're for. Because you never
know when you might hit it big. It's not the same as wanting to get rich speculating on a coin. That's it, but well, tokens that don't work but well, tokens that don't work well or lose their value are
100%. Yes, yes, we know what it is. I think everyone who has entered the crypto world has experienced it at some point, and well, it's an everyday occurrence, as you say. So, if someone who is starting out and listening has experienced this, don't get discouraged
and leave the sector because it's something that always happens, and it's really from these types of tokens or scams that you learn in the long run and come out ahead in other situations. So, I totally
agree. It's also important what... You say you learn more from mistakes than from victories. I only have many consecutive victories, and the day you get hit hard, it hits you much harder. So, nothing is
the same as people, just like the cases. People only want to read or the practical side until you actually put it into practice. You're not going to encounter those situations you can't control, that you don't understand, like
sending money to a network and not knowing where it is. You don't know if it's arrived, if you've lost it, you have it in your wallet but it hasn't been created, you don't understand anything. So, no matter how much people say, or if they 're not ready yet, or whatever, you know,
a capital of $20, $50, you're going to lose it, well, probably yes, or maybe not, but until you know how the networking thing works, how to add this, you're not going to be able to advance. So, it's a barrier that you shouldn't
encounter and break down little by little. that, knowing you're an expert, I think is one of the best tools for...  Learning about the whole Defy world is through airdrops, and I think it's
few steps you can already get into the ecosystem, learn how to bridge, how to send through one network and then another. Well, then we have the things, Well, then we have the things, although it probably won't
be a big incentive because it doesn't lead anywhere. Just the real blockchain learning you're getting with a testnet is already superior to anything else you do which is what being on it is for me. It's a perfect way to
start downloading the Net Wallet and tinkering with it, ordering fake tokens (they don't have real value), and starting to do what you said: do swaps, create pools, bridge, buy and sell NFTs, and know that you're agreeing to
use some software that reads the contracts. In other words, it's the this whole sector works because otherwise, taking the plunge is complicated. said all that, the next question I wanted to ask you, since you've been a
half, is: Why did you start creating content? Why did you start?  Well, obviously, when this sector starts, a lot of information is on the internet. At that time, I was in
several Telegram groups, consuming content and learning. There wasn't much available, to be honest, especially in Spanish, because there was plenty in English, but only a little in Spanish. It was a foundation
from that moment that I decided I had taken the plunge. I was starting to learn a little about how the sector worked. I don't know why, but I do know why I focused so much on the Phantom network. Because at that time it had
interesting things, and I really liked it, and different concepts, not like Tom Finance's projects or Peck and all that. So I started a Phantom. It worked really well. I was
surprised; a lot of people started to become interested in the content. Then I today, and that was perfect. Then I took to create content on YouTube was too much, too big a burden
for what it initially offered. So I decided to switch to Twitter, which I up-to-date and faster network.  For information in Defi because it's constant. I a hack is happening, a protocol is being released, and you can't
report it that quickly. So that was the change, and honestly, I'm very happy. The acceptance has been very good. It's true that you have to dedicate time to it, like care of the community, and you have to follow up, you have to answer questions,
but well, in the end, everything comes together, and luckily, as of today, I consider that I've done a good job in the sector, and if everything goes well, then I'll continue here. We also think you do
a great job in the sector, and just what you mentioned about YouTube, it's true that it's not so immediate; you can't, for example, if something happens, you can't just sit down and record it and edit it. If you want to do it with good quality, there's no time, and we know that
100%. We also know 100% what it means to be a content creator and everything that entails. So we also like to open up the topic of being a content creator a bit, and that's why I wanted to ask you if you have ever...  I've had a
bad experience creating content. Whether it's because of something that's happened, some excessive criticism, or if you've handled it well and calmly, well luckily I'm a calmly, well luckily I'm a pretty calm person who's
comfortable with what I do, I think it's the best way I can do it. I can make mistakes like anyone else and I'll always admit it. I'm quite transparent. When you create content, you expose yourself to the fact that, as I
always say, many people know more than you, without a doubt, they can correct you, they can publicly point out something you didn't know. I always say that I'm just a little more than other people, that I can help, and that's it.
always do. But obviously, you're exposed to those criticisms, those bad comments, but that's part of what you want to do. So, if you have it, of course, if you 're able to withstand that pressure, not to make
doing it right, you'll have good times and bad times. This is how I bad times. This is how I compare it to the non-cyclical market, good times and bad times. Consistency, being there, and if, for example, you build a PC in
Bitcoin and you'll earn, well, just like if you're consistent with your content... Whatever you want in your work, in the end, you'll get your reward. That's great. Well, I've been trying to figure things out because I'm in black
and white or gray, but I can't seem to change it. Let's see if I can now. In any case, it seems that what's important... I wanted to ask you because I just saw people on Twitter saying, "No, in 2025, I'm getting out of
crypto," I don't know what's up. So I wanted to ask you a little bit about this, where you see yourself in five years, and if you think you'll be in the crypto sector creating content. It's a complicated question because I'm
It's a complicated question because I'm not one to plan for the future, I'm not one to create expectations. I like to live day by day. I mean, when I started creating content, I didn't have any expectations. Since I'm here... So I do
n't know. I'd like everything to be related to the crypto sector with Bot3. I don't know if that's why, as you say, creating content for the public, or more behind the scenes with a project, being able to help in marketing, in
communities, in development, in deficit... well, I don't know, I don't know where it will lead me, but it's better that it's within the sector because today, well, and I want to say that it's my full time and  Everything is dedicated to crypto Web 3. So if
five years I'll be able to do it, and with much better quality, with more experience, with better quality, with more experience, with more training, and I hope so. Well, I mean, we could say that it's your passion that has become a
bit of a passion, what you dedicate yourself to, that step makes the difference, right? And so, before moving on to the investment questions in the DeFi world, which is
probably why people are here, I wanted to ask you one last question: What has been your biggest mistake in all this time you've dedicated to the Web 3 sector, even to creating content? What's the
biggest mistake you remember? And do you regret it? Well, I don't know if it's related or not, but the biggest one, ultimately, is obsessing over why things you're doing aren't working, both in terms
of investment and content creation. It's not about saying things without work the way you want. An investment can go well, or it can go badly. It doesn't mean it's poorly analyzed or well-created, but rather that there are
control the fact that, unfortunately, human beings always want to control everything, and that's quite overwhelming. So, that's the biggest mistake I've made during this time. Luckily, little by little, it doesn't
worry me as much because I've already developed that dynamic, that habit. Both for investments and for what I like to compare, it's the same in one way or compare, it's the same in one way or another, but
to realize. And well, it starts out like everything else, you know, there are doubts, nerves, uncertainty, insecurity, and that's normal, understood 100%. In the end, we also ask a bit about mistakes because I
think, as I said before, it's the best way to learn. do this, you have to do that," as you said, from a theoretical point of view, but I also think it's really cool to see what mistakes people
who are now doing well, or whose sector is doing well, or who find some opportunities, have made. That's why I think it was important that you mentioned this now, because now the issue of following other profiles and not just
posting something, is important.  No, you don't buy it behind someone's back, without knowing why you're doing it. Simply because that person gives you confidence, or because even if you ca a back record or anything, well, I think it might work well for them. So,
I think that's fine for a while, but then everyone has to experiment and do it on their own. That's fine, I mean, gathering information because it's necessary. I mean, I think my information is good for
conclusions and make their own decisions, but they don't have to do everything I do because maybe the time investment isn't profitable for them, or that the time investment isn't profitable for them, or that
So, I don't know, that's something else you have to learn. That's the key, because in the end, I don't think everyone is good at trading. Not everyone is capable of being a trader. So, just
because someone believes or teaches that they have good results doesn't mean you have to follow them 100%. You don't expect success just
you need is to find know how to find information, and that way you'll surely succeed.  It will be much better in the long run, which is the important thing, okay? Before we move on to the Market section, it's
watching to ask any specific questions. You answer questions, so leave them in the chat and we'll retrieve them later, okay? I'll mention that for those who are here, okay? Let's continue with the
Market and Investment section, okay? We have Secret Defi. I understand you Defi sector, but I wanted to ask if you're only investing in investments? I do n't buy coins, no, I don't speculate with
know them technologically or fundamentally. I'm not interested in their updates. So that comes in relation to my objectives. I'm clear on what they are,
what my strengths are, where I'm focused and trying to exploit them. Obviously, yes, I have Bitcoin, yes, I have Ethereum, I've had Polkadot, I've had Cardano, obviously, but I've been selling them off because I wasn't
comfortable with it. I had done it because I thought it was the best thing to do. So, I don't do it anymore because it's not...  My strength lies in... So I can't keep track of everything, just like I can't keep track of 20 coins, that's impossible. So I
prefer to focus my effort and time on my day-to-day work and focus my investments more on DeFi, its tokens, its narratives, or whatever is trending at the
moment. It's a good point to reflect on because, in the end, I think many people don't talk about two main branches: the person who does things or invests, and the person who tries to cover as many
things as possible, or the person who says, "I'm the best at this, and I'm sure to succeed." Well, I branch of "Hey, be the best at DeFi and I'll do well because I control it perfectly," or at least I have much more knowledge within it. It all depends on the
time each investor has because an investor who doesn't have time makes it much harder to be profitable. You don't find those opportunities because today a token might be doing great, but maybe tomorrow it suffers a hack, or that
protocol doesn't work out. It's not the same as buying a coin with a large market capitalization, which is more backed. So if someone doesn't have time, they don't have time.  Well, I do understand that you want
a balanced portfolio, whether it's Bitcoin or Ethereum, and you should look for other markets where you can have a more diversified portfolio and not just make your monthly or weekly purchase. But of course, if you have all the time
in the world, you can investigate, you can experiment, you can... Well, I do think it's more Well, I do think it's more interesting because they are coins with So it allows you... not if it works well, but to have higher profitability, or what
might affect that? Well, there are two NFT launches, there are many, many possibilities, and of course, now knowing that you are 100% specialized in the DeFi world, we know that airdrops are very fashionable right now. They've
been around for a while, but people weren't that aware of them. I while, but people weren't that aware of them. I think they saw that so
arbitrage airdrop.  That's when I had made so much money, that's when knowing this, we wanted to ask you, to start with the topic of airdrops, what has been your biggest airdrop or what has been your biggest profit?
Sorry, first, I want to say that it seems like you've been doing airdrops here for a long time, and the first one I received was in October with the Aptos airdrop, which I haven't been receiving for that long, so people don't have to take that
into account, but yes, one of the most recent ones was the Arkham Intelligence airdrop a few days ago, which was a surprise, I didn't expect it, to be honest, and it has been the highest so far. Then we had Arbitrator, we also had that, and the
Acts airdrop, we had some Blur airdrops, we also have some Space ID airdrops. Well, there have been last few months, really good opportunities. In fact, if you want to opportunities. In fact, if you want to explain a little about the whole thing, which is
So if you want to explain a little about how it happened, I think it could be a good idea. Do you want me to explain how the protocol works a little bit,
why it happened, and if you want, also how the protocol works, okay? Well, in the end  It's just that people might not only believe it or be amazed, but it's simply cool to have a protocol that was working, in beta, where you
could access the platform through limitations, obviously through referrals. All you needed was an email and a wallet, or you could register. If you didn't want to lose it, no problem,
but if you had done it yesterday, the 18th, was the launch, you would have gotten around $200 completely free with zero risk. So it was a very good opportunity.
was a very good opportunity. We knew there was going to be an airdrop, but we didn't know the exact amounts because often what gets the most hype is actually less, because obviously many more wallets are registered and
eligible. In this case, I think there were fewer than 50,000 wallets. So, it was a pretty good airdrop, and that's all it is: a protocol, a tracker of wallet activity where you can see
wallet activity where you can see transactions, and that's what it's about. What they're going to do is create a protocol where you can track activity.  Suspicious, no. So if you
're good and detect what's happening, you can be rewarded for it. It's a pretty good business model, but you also have to be careful to see how it data and privacy can be quite exposed. But, as I said,
if people had registered, it wouldn't have taken them more than two minutes, no expenses, and they would have earned $200 completely free, of course. Knowing this, how do you manage it? Because I understand that all people, or
now in the world of airdrops, have the eternal doubt of how to know which ones are worthwhile or not. Because, for example, we have the one that just happened where just by entering my email I'm we have other types of airdrops where I have to spend months and months doing
differentiate or how do you manage this so that people can put themselves in a position, for example, as an arbitrator, which was another one. Well, it was a network that I used daily for at least eight or nine
months. Of course, it's exposed, or who is prepared to spend eight or nine months you have to be...  An active user that profitable entry points in an ecosystem you know. Well, you want to stake,
buy tokens, use Bridge. Of course, it's not for everyone, but if someone for everyone, but if someone is just starting out, then the safest thing to do is go for the safest options, which are networks that don't have native tokens, that we know
need a token, or that have a confirmed token in their program, like Arbitrage or Optimis, which we knew was coming. So, if that's the case, try to use the entire ecosystem in the best way you can with your
available capital. Generate your shares, generate volume, generate interactions on the network, and on the day there's one, you'll surely be eligible with a smaller amount. But to be eligible, and that's going to be your first habit, my recommendations are protocols
or networks on Mainnet if they don't have tokens and we don't know they're likely to launch. Good advice, good advice, good advice. I think what you say at the end is key: anticipating that
blockchains that have volume and don't have a token. Well, 100%, it's easier than reading it, and also, having
protocol project is also very important. I want to emphasize this because if someone Look, it's not that the Appetite protocol says it's going to distribute dollars to the first 100 people who make transactions or something, or that they have to
do free advertising on Twitter, of course, and everyone has to know their do it, perfect, but I wouldn't waste time on something that's guaranteed to be $20 if I win. I prefer to spend time testing an
new protocols, since nobody has used them to generate... I don't know, I think it would be better to approach it differently. Okay, welcome to everyone who's commenting too, you geniuses, welcome. Okay, next question.
welcome. Okay, next question. And all this: What do you think, as a Neutropes expert, if there are new people here who are waiting or starting to look for an airdrop, which one do you want? What's going to be one of the most profitable or
most powerful airdrops in the next year? Look at two options, and as I said, the mainnet airdrop, if someone doesn't want to invest capital or is just starting out, the Venom Network airdrop, I think it's a drop that could
be interesting because of the funding it has...  It's available and doesn't require investment. So n't want to or aren't prepared to spend, because the other option is Mainete, but obviously that requires an investment. To
put things in context, I think my spending of $300 to $400 on Fish is worth the same to someone else; it might be a lot of capital. I understand that there's already money available because I'm not going to spend this much, but it's a snowball effect. You
spend this, you receive a portion of the profit, you enjoy a portion, you hold a portion, you sell it, you use it in the next network, and this will gradually generate capital efficiency,
and try different things. would use Zinc@. I think it will work quite well; all the protocols are trying to integrate that technology,
trying to integrate that technology, so I think it will work very well. And as an excuse to move capital, well, Layer 0 is the leading technology are integrating. So you have the excuse to farm a network, and
then if you need to move between networks, you can use anything.  Any blitch that doesn't have that technology that allows you to move liquidity and do a two-for- one, which I think will be along with Stormec, which I also think will be very
important, I think they will be the three that in 2023-2024 will give quite a lot of profit, I hope, because otherwise I'll be wasting my time and fish, but yes, but you won't be the only one, because we'll all be there, we're all into
airdrops, so well, but it's what you say, it's about knowing how to manage, I'm going to be looking for smaller verbs because they're free, but then I might receive 10 or
20 dollars, time is also worth money, and then in the case of Zetanet, you do mentioned, and it's good advice, the fees that are spent depending on what a person can personally afford, so that the bulk of our investment doesn't go to
airdrops that then aren't profitable and we no longer have enough to invest in the crypto sector more long-term in Bitcoin, this type of thing, so there we have to be put  Free drops, like you said with Venom, which is a minting of
free NFTs and such. But in the long run, these types of drops are most likely the least profitable because it doesn't make sense, of course. Then again, it also depends a lot on chance, because we ca n't really know how
one will work. But we have the case of Aptos, which was a minting of a free NFT on a testnet where they gave you $1,500, or in the case of Suite, where you tested the network without spending anything and then, through a raffle, with an investment of
$45, you then had $1,500 in profit. So, it's fine to accept NFTs as long as it's a protocol or network with a good completion rate, or if you know there's real venture capital behind it,
well invested. Because at the end of the day, capital seeks investment because otherwise, it won't reinvest and will lose its funds. So, you have to take more things into account, but it can be
done. You know, in the end, it's a complete analysis of what you're going to invest. And that added up too.  As within the DeFi sector... So, all of this,
like you, for example, aside from content creators or following you, who are constantly posting new airdrop tasks, explaining what needs to be done, and even including the cost of each task, which is incredibly helpful for a
of each task, which is incredibly helpful for a new user like yourself entering the DeFi world. Where do you look for information? Where would you recommend someone new start with airdrops? It's complicated, because starting from scratch
because starting from scratch is a huge step. But obviously, what I would do first is spend a few months gathering information, reading, being active in communities, participating in live events, and asking
any questions you have. Try to build that small base of information so that later, when you're a step and won't know what to do, and you'll have to ask again.
So, create a good theoretical foundation and start with business, obviously. start with the internet: download wallets, test funds, and fund the test funds.
Do everything you can because tomorrow you'll be rolling along and you'll be able to do anything without being afraid to explain things here in case you get robbed or So, make nets, as we've said, but only
well-funded ones that have something interesting. Obviously, there's a lot of information on Twitter, so try to filter it. Don't follow too many profiles because you'll get overwhelmed. Information overload isn't
good either because it can block you. Or, if you start saving things to look at later, like, if you have 15 minutes a day, then save something, look at it, get it? Well, then move on to something else. Or I'll try to do it, but don't try to be everywhere
because it's impossible. Even I, who try to be online all day, don't cover all the information. It doesn't worry me because I know I wo n't be able to. So, that's not a have that information and those profiles you like—YouTube, Twitter,
working on trends, and then when you're more confident, start with mainnet. Well, with $50 or $100 you can start doing anything on  As long as they're doing anything on  As long as they're cheap, start tinkering and keep going. There are
many centuries, there's a lot of information. If you need visuals, well, there are also many airdrop videos on YouTube. Try to make sure they're not clickbait or anything like that. I mean, don't let them sell you a line, don't use clickbait, or anything that isn't genuine. And that's it. In the
n't be what you expect or it wo n't justify all the time invested, but it's a wheel you have to keep generating little by little. In fact, in addition to these good tips, sorry Eric, I'm
adding to these good tips. I would also add that many people get example, they say, "I don't have time, but I have a whole Sunday and I'm going to spend the whole Sunday doing everything I can on ZKmento." And then that's even worse
because imagine that one requirement they never know is having used the never know is having used the blockchain for a whole some Fish only to not receive it. So, this whole thing with the pigs also
takes time and day by day; it's even smarter to do it weekly.  Take it easy, don't try to do everything at once in a single day. I don't entirely agree; you have to generate activity on a daily basis, in a normal way. Don't try to do it all at once either.
daily basis, in a normal way. Don't try to do it all at once either. even wallets with pre- registered entities for you to buy. So I wouldn't lie to myself about those things. If you don't have time, do it with less time and
learning is much more important than all that. And what you're saying isn't overwhelmed. You'll do it because you want to receive that reward later. If you do n't receive it, you won't do it again, I'm convinced. You'll complain that it does
n't work, that it's nonsense, that even if it's for yourself because that's how it is. In other words, people who don't do things right in the end won't come back, and nothing will happen. But if
told to do, even if you receive less later, you will receive something and you will understand how it works, what you have to do. So I would take it much more calmly, as you say, don't do it all in one day.
For example, I have 10 pending tasks from a specific network. Well, one day, two, or specific network. Well, one day, two, or something escalates, and I don't have any more for CIS. So when I get paid again and have to put it back in, well, I mean, you shouldn't get
overwhelmed by this. There's no 100% guide on what to do, meaning everyone should do their activity as they see fit. And if there's something you have, it's not a problem.
than just being overwhelmed and then ending up burned out. Okay, and leaving aside the drops, now, what narratives in the Defy sector do you think are going to
explode in the coming months? explode because of how people are. It's the issue of decentralized casinos. people are. It's the issue of decentralized casinos.
Betting houses in general are something that generate a lot of profit. So generate a lot of profit. So the tokens of those protocols, which will normally be real, meaning they generate real commissions from the
something we experience a lot in the 2021, which I don't know anymore, we're not working with inflation, but with unlimited reality, with
bybacks or whatever you want to call it. It works very well, but what I was saying then is that I almost believe it's going to be a very important sector. We're already starting to see certain protocols that stand out on various networks, some
on Solana, and some with quite a large revenue and a fairly large user base. So I think it's going to be a very important narrative. And then there's the issue of excellent centralized systems. I think it's a
narrative that has started to be noticeable, but I think it has n't exploded yet. As investors' knowledge increases and they become more educated, many will start to leave CX. The whole
start to leave CX. The whole Kaizen thing, which might not be a problem, but I know that many people are going to be concerned about their privacy and security, and that with the knowledge they acquire, they will gradually move to the
decentralized sector. And I think that more than the CEC tokens, which might not be the most interesting, you see more the product they have and how you can benefit from it. So for me, I almost don't know if then the exchanges like
Well, for example, with GMX, with Games, with others, with GMD. Well, I think they generate very good profits. If the token really has good features or an interesting system, then it can also be a very good option.
But these two, and it depends on when the real gaming aspect arrives when the real gaming aspect arrives in the sector, well, it's going to be a very interesting narrative, and just when more people become
interested, everything will go much better. In fact, ask before because an interesting question just came up. I think Uniswap is already talking about it. Well, speculate that Uniswap could start having
leverage. Even tomorrow. Well, in the end, Uniswap is a giant today, integrating more activities and new features. Do you think that
activities and new features. Do you think that tomorrow it's possible that 95% of the volume will be on Uniswap and there are practically no other competitors? Let's no other competitors? Let's see, really, what a swap is... I mean, it
's important. When they launched concentrated liquidity, it was during the DeFi boom, and they saw a very good opportunity for investors not to generate their own liquidity, but to own that investors not to generate their own liquidity, but to own that liquidity, and then the
protocols...  The rest have been copying, and each one has its I mean, it's not just in a swap, obviously. The volume is there in a swap, where you want to generate it. But now with
v4, which is also very interesting, what they're proposing, and what you're saying about the order limit exchange, the improvement of the capital requirement, the feet, and of the capital requirement, the feet, and everything, well, when it comes out, it will surely
take a large part of the market, right? But in the long run, right? But in the long run, since this technology is so new, it updates so quickly, there's a lot of knowledge, so something else will come out, not necessarily the same, which won't
improve it or won't be able to compete because it doesn't have a opportunities besides a shock, and I don't think it will take 90% or 95% of the market because investors look for opportunities in
very early launches. So capital will always be moving, and well, I think it absolutely has to happen because otherwise it would be very monotonous, and in the end, it would lose that appeal of competition in DeFi, which is very
important, and that helps, right?  To innovate in the market and generate value, not like what I'm saying, 100%. In fact, I think that Uniswap, as you mention, won't keep such a large percentage of the capital because
more retail investors are looking to enter a smaller protocol higher returns. But it's large institutions, whales, who aren't looking to get 100%, but rather 5 or
10% annually, which is already a lot and not so easy in the traditional sector, they can create their pools on Uniswap. There will be a lot of liquidity. They won't have as much price impact. They won't have a sleeving page, and therefore it will make sense
for that type of investor, just as it will for more conservative retail investors looking for a steady return. And using Uniswap v3, the just for large capital or just for those looking for
big returns.  There's something for everyone, so what I was saying is that there will always be more opportunities. No protocol will always be number one because at some point it will be dethroned and something else will emerge. Whatever it is, then what you're saying is true.
The volume will be there; you just have to look at the liquidity in the pools with Ethereum, or with a CC, or with Bitcoin—it's insane. So it's there for whoever wants it, and for those who don't, well, they'll keep investigating the ecosystem
investigating the ecosystem because, without a doubt, the future is DeFi, I think. And what you mentioned before about centralized exchanges, There are more traditional traders who like to trade directly
on an exchange or something like that. But when they see—because there may be traders who have never had their goal more because they trade and make a fuss— all the possibilities they have in these types of protocols in a
decentralized way, without going through CASH and doing the same operations, these types of projects are going to absorb a lot of capital. There's still a lot of capital agree with you that it's going to be a Fi narrative.  It's very
can constantly track what's happening, I do n't know, see where the funds are, or even if you're trading on a protocol and part of trading on a protocol and part of the CIS goes to the token. And you have a token
so you get a bigger discount on trades, and ultimately, in a opportunity for you. In a centralized system, the team members are the ones who feed off the money, team members are the ones who feed off the money, and well, obviously, that's how it works.
So I think it's something that will definitely work. Now, will definitely work. Now, 100% agree, let's move on.
Okay. Meanwhile, let's move on to the next block. Okay, in this case, we'll do it. Okay. while Secret DeFi is back, because he mentioned a very interesting concept, which is the
Real, in case anyone doesn't know it. And Real means, as well explained, that the commissions are received through, for example, if it's a all the losses generated by these traders, who, in the long
run, are very few and far between, and therefore it makes sense that more and more commissions will be generated, and those commissions go to all the people who are providing...  The liquidity of the native token, for example, GMX, then it
away from all these inflationary tokens, like what used to happen with CakePHP and these kinds of protocols, which only printed a native token without much mathematical sense, and as for
everything, they weren't mixed and were distributing it to investors. That's why these types of projects make a lot of sense at the no-mix token level and at the DeFi level. And now, okay, let's move on to the last part of the
quick questions, a series of about seven or eight questions, and you answer them with what you think. So, we'll start with the first one:
you said you're not a very ideal sector
give much information because I don't follow it, but for example, H-bar, I really like the network, how it works. I think the system they have is very good, from Facebook, which for me is very important,
H-bar, I would definitely consider it. Then again, I do n't know how the...  Top 20 market cap for Arco, and I don't know how it is right now, but I honestly think Polkadot can
work once they generate those new links and get rid of the walls, create many, meaning without so many locks and such. I do n't think it's dead, it's just managed very poorly, and it can resurface. And
resurface. And speaking of which, what can I speaking of which, what can I say? GMX should come back and take over the market. I think there are possibilities, and then there are protocols that I
like with very small lock-ups that I prefer not to comment on. But simply follow interesting narratives that are still missing due to processes, for example, almost decentralized ones, and there are already some developments, so you could
position yourself for x months. That is to say, these investments aren't future perspective, not just about more volume, more people. So, the casino issue, I think, would be
very interesting bets for the long term. Great! So, speaking of which, we know you're not an expert in Alcoy, but I suppose you have the top 20 more or less figured out.  Hey, I just wanted to
ask you which one you think is overrated or in a position it should hate for this, but I really don't like Cardano at all.
the guests is still the same, am I wrong? No, because I've issue of the ecosystem deficit very well, that there are many opportunities, but I don't know if it's because of the prejudice I had or because I just don't feel like it, I don't
or because I just don't feel like it, I don't know, it doesn't quite convince me. But anyway, it's just my personal opinion, but it's really good. It's true that you either love it or hate it, but whenever it's my turn to speak, it's like my
camera shuts off, it seems like it's waiting for me, they don't want me to speak today. I was saying that it's waiting for me, they don't want me to speak today. I was saying that it's probably because it has had many profits and they've fallen in love with the project.
profits and they've fallen in love with the project. Well, I think they're already pulling my leg, and the second type of person is the one who says, "Wow, do be in the top 5 or whatever?" More details, I'm sure there will be
are personal opinions, okay, next. So, having said that, we've discussed which is overvalued and which is undervalued. Let's
personal, I don't follow it much because of the ISO 222 issue. I think it's an interesting topic because, as I said, it's a regulation that I don't like, but it's coming and we have to accept it. The legislation, the Mica issue, and all of
this is coming, so XRP might work well. The thing is, so I would look for one from the same ecosystem, that is, from the same narrative, not QuantumX or XDC, that could have
potential because once the starting gun is fired, shouldn't that capital gradually decrease towards some with less market capitalization? So I might look at some of these. Great, we'll note them down to
some of these. Great, we'll note them down to a little input. Can you tell me a range? Okay, you don't have to say exactly, but what do you think the price of Bitcoin will be in the next vulnerability, and what about
in the next vulnerability, and what about Cirio? That's difficult, huh? I just do n't know.  I'm really confused, but I don't know if Bitcoin will hit a new all-time high next time. I
Bitcoin will hit a new all-time high next time. I seriously don't know. I think it will, but with Bitcoin, I don't know why I have a feeling it won't happen. But hey, that's just my personal opinion, and if it does, then perfect, but I don't know. It makes me... I still
remember months ago when people were talking about all-time highs, or when they were people were talking about all-time highs, or when they were putting it at 250,000 or something. I do n't know, for that to happen, a lot of capital has to come in, and I don't know if
we're ready, given the current economic situation and everything. I don't know if we can compare the situation in 2021 with what it will be like now in 2024 after Calvin. I don't know if it will be the massive high we all expect, but I don't know if it
massive high we all expect, but I don't know if it will happen. I hope so. Any answers would be appreciated. An important detail, which we've mentioned before, is that some people always expect, in the case of many arcs, that it's
not that they'll recover the maximum again next time. It doesn't necessarily have to be that high. Remember that it's easy to see that in the first massive high they experienced, they may have had a first massive high they experienced, they may have had a
the same time-high goal, they need to enter with three times more before. And this is a fairly common mistake among people new to the market. Also, as I said before, technology advances, and
that challenge, that project, no longer has the same incentive as before. Someone who has entered might be in the top 50 or top 60, which has better technology, which has less of a community, but
has more potential to achieve that capital. So, what you're saying is, no, I guarantee future results. That is, you shouldn't fall in love with it or make these
parabolic projections or these crazy things that are done in trading. You shouldn't go crazy. Each moment will come, and we'll see, but don't get your hopes up about objectively high things.
objectively high things. Next question: Bitcoin or Ethereum essential, we all try to understand what Bitcoin is, what it's for, what
its business model is, and all that. So, I think Bitcoin is Bitcoin, and then there's the market, and then there's the fact that I like it quite a lot, so...  I don't I like it quite a lot, so...  I don't like comparing them or
competing with each other. I think each one has its own sector, each one has its important thing is that we try to make sure they're in the market, not that every technology... in the market, not that every technology... Okay, and moving on to the next
question, who did you follow before you started creating content, or when you started in the crypto sector? Rodrigo, who Rodrigo, who on social media was known as
Pockets, and well, he used to make really good content, I have to say. He was much, much better. I think he was one of the few Hispanic profiles that talked about crypto, so he was one of the first.
And then, well, I don't really remember how it led to the next ones, but I think it was about deficit, the best crypto strategy, which I think is amazing, everything he does. And then you move on to English-speaking profiles, more
specialized ones, and so on. But that was the first one, the one that really helped me learn and take that step. I simple content to understand how this sector works,
bring him here to chat one day. We had a meeting with him, but I don't know if it would happen for him to come here...  We'll try to chat, we'll try. He's a guy who likes to share his experiences, he's an interesting guy,
okay? And if you had to name a crypto you're in love with, what would it be? Well, love with, what would it be? Well, no, I don't fall in love with projects. I 'm not very mercenary, I'm very clear about that. I'm
protocols at the same time. When I like one, I go to another. My profile isn't like a traditional investor, or I don't know how to say it, a normal one who buys and waits there for six months or a year to collect profits.
months or a year to collect profits. My portfolio is constantly changing, I'm another, from one protocol to another. So I do n't get attached to any one, and obviously, if I do n't like it, I'm here to make money. So if it doesn't work, I go to
constantly. It's a bit stressful, but I like it. It's very important for any investor. No, they're not going to be any emotions come into play, that's usually when you make the biggest mistakes in terms of
investments. So I buy your answer, and finally, yes, yes, and as a last question, we wanted to
you had to choose on your channel, whether people subscribe or leave a like, subscribe or leave a like, I think I'd choose subscriptions. It doesn't
supporting you. So, you've already heard it. If subscribed to our channel yet, you can subscribe so you don't miss anything. And we also want to take this opportunity to say that if you want to be literally up-to-date with the
DeFi world, you can follow Secreto DeFi on Twitter. They can find out about all the airdrops and great opportunities. I and great opportunities. I always
share the direct link in the comments. starts following me now and sees what I do, I don't bite. They can ask me anything as long as they do n't take advantage of people's time. I
n't take advantage of people's time. I because back in the day, I couldn't find anyone to ask, no one had that direct contact to ask me questions. anyone to ask, no one had that direct contact to ask me questions.
helps the community a lot. So if you need it, of course you can do it. How great! Hey, well, we've finished with the Q&A. Thank you so much, sir, for being here on this live stream.
I hope everyone watching has gained a lot of value. I'm so who you are, and if you take away someone who will definitely start following you. It will be a pleasure to see everything you
n't know if you want to say anything else before we wrap up. I'm very people have understood a little bit about my vision of the market and what I do, and if
then they should start working on it. And thank this space, and I'm really happy. Like I said, see you on Twitter, and thank you so much to everyone who's been
see you next week. Bye!
