The Fly in a Jar Strategy
45sThis quirky analogy grabs attention and explains a high-effort approach to crypto drops, relatable to anyone overwhelmed by options.
▶ Play ClipThis video discusses strategies for earning money through retroactive airdrops (retro drops) in the crypto space. The speaker outlines three main approaches: doing everything possible, focusing on top projects with multiple accounts, and combining both strategies. The emphasis is on understanding one's psychotype and allocating resources accordingly.
The speaker introduces three strategies for earning money on retro drops, starting with the 'fly in a jar' approach.
The 'fly in a jar' strategy involves doing many different activities across various projects. This increases the chance of earning something but requires significant time and effort.
The speaker advises analyzing your psychotype to determine which strategy suits you best. Some people prefer doing many tasks, while others focus on a few.
Retro drops are not passive investing; they require work. However, tasks can be delegated to employees. The potential returns are much higher than classic investing.
Focus on 2-3 top projects, create many accounts, and perform specific actions. This is riskier but can yield high returns if the project succeeds.
Use factors like total funding raised (e.g., $458 million for zkSync) and investor quality (e.g., a16z) to identify strong projects. Top blockchain projects attract long-term investors.
For top projects, creating multiple accounts is essential. This increases the chance of receiving airdrops but also carries the risk of getting nothing.
Retro drops can occur even in stagnant markets because projects have enough funds to wait for growth. The goal is to sell immediately after receiving tokens.
Combine both strategies with a ratio (e.g., 50/50) based on your psychotype and resources. Diversification reduces risk.
Analyze your psychotype and decide on a strategy. Consider delegating tasks to employees if needed.
The key to success in retro drops is understanding your psychotype and choosing a strategy that fits. Combining both approaches with proper diversification can optimize returns while managing risk.

09:09[00:01] Hello, hello. Today we'll talk about a strategy for earning money on Retro drops. I'll highlight three of them and now, straight to the topic, nowhere near the first row, we call it a fly in a jar. What I mean is that it may sound strange, but that doesn't
[00:17] mean I'm offending anyone there. It's just that I call it that. When you look at a fly in a jar, at its movements, it does this. It flies, flies, flies, randomly somewhere. This is a strategy. When you
[00:32] do everything. And this is a great strategy because we never know who will distribute, when they will distribute, and how many times they will give, that is, it is possible that something will give a fraction, but
[00:44] there will be little, something may give a lot, but this is when it is far in the future, and something may never give. Maybe something now and a lot. And when you do a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of actions, one hundred percent and some
[01:00] result, but in this scenario, you have to do everything really stupidly because it happens that you do everything, do everything. And you skipped something, didn't do something, this is what brought money when it becomes offensive, that is, this is the case. This is not the case, that is, In
[01:14] this option You need to really do all this, in principle, a normal strategy and those people who do everything, they earn this fact, I really saw it, I don’t belong to such people, I prefer to do it a little differently, I’ll tell you about this
[01:31] further, but here everything comes from the psychotype. That is, I even in my homework Analyze your psychotype. That is, who is more comfortable, we can pour or you do, let’s say, something the same, you chose the example I want to do only these
[01:46] chose the example I want to do only these these tasks, do this drop and then it doesn’t work out, and others, those who did everything in a row, everyone earns what I do. Maybe you don’t need to do this, that is, it’s difficult, that is, some people are better off doing
[02:01] a lot of things and always earning something, for someone it’s more convenient to do differently. In general, the first option is when you do many different activities, that is, in principle, doing almost everything, it takes a lot of time if you
[02:16] do it all with your own hands, with someone else’s hands, it’s also a lot of time, but this is another person’s time because there is simply no person who will, for example, just some give him a task, he will do all these
[02:28] retro drops for you. It’s quite an option and many make money on this. That is, in principle, here It's hard to call kinsells normal investing when you just bought and forgot. But on the other
[02:44] just bought and forgot. But on the other hand, the entire market is holding up. hand, the entire market is holding up. Where do they come from, essentially, from traders? That is, those people who trade, and basically, these people trade
[02:56] trade, and basically, these people trade poorly, and it is precisely due to traders that funds trade poorly, and in principle, the entire market is holding up, and this Trading is actually work, so retros. Yes, this is not an investment. Yes, you bought
[03:09] and just hold. This is also work. But this can all be delegated. Firstly, you can do it yourself, figure out what and how, then hire an employee to do it. But this is certainly not the classic investing when you bought and forgot, but the
[03:24] potential return here is much, much, much greater. The second option is targeted drinking at one point, so to speak, at one point, when we do one at one point. I say so because in fact, not one, several,
[03:39] but better attention. We hold on to two or three maximum top projects. As it seems to us, how to understand that they are top-notch. So, let's again, just for comparison, I'm now opening you up to the financing of the same Orbit, and we have already
[03:55] looked at the previous lessons, who invested here. The investment amount is unclear. That is, all this is some kind of hidden figure. The funds are not the coolest. Well, that is, not the
[04:08] largest. Let's open a zakosing and here is already a figure that has been collected. We realized that 458 million dollars have been collected, this is a very serious figure and there have also
[04:22] already been a bunch of investment rounds, really a lot. That is, it is really getting closer to the release and among the investor funds we see the same Anderson, 16 years old, who I already said is basically the top because when we look at his projects, we
[04:37] see that he always manipulates the market very coolly. And from the previous manipulates the market very coolly. And from the previous part of the course, you perfectly well, a very lively part of the attention when we take top top blockchain projects, something
[04:54] very large and fundamental, this allows us to attract long-term investors who understand that the project is large-scale, it is necessary to invest in it, and when this happens, it is simply easier to manipulate because
[05:08] to manipulate because more people with more money are not driven here. So, perhaps one can say that if we take it, for example, we will open it again and see what they invested, the one who received investments from
[05:24] them is in first place, the same Ethereum which once had incredible growth, which once had incredible growth, xrp, which also once had incredible growth, and so on. These are simply powerful
[05:39] guys, very powerful, and therefore, if you compare these two projects, compare Orbit and compare them for cosing, then of course, cosing is a much stronger project there, and that's the point, cosing can really beat you, and if you don't spread yourself too
[05:56] thin, but do something, for example, again, I, for example, cosing tells you purely about it, then you definitely need to make multi-accounts. You need to make a multi-accounts. You need to make a lot of them, and this is the essence of the second Strategy. A
[06:10] targeted hit at one point. You really take and make many, many accounts, and we already talked about multi-accounts in the lesson about token sales. But further in the next lesson, we will talk about multi-accounts as well. From the point of view of
[06:27] retro drops, I already mentioned the downside of this option. When I told you about the When I told you about the first ones, that with the second option, when those who do all the projects will earn something, you may not
[06:41] earn anything. This can be difficult because it is unclear. When the tokens of this project will enter the market. Will it even be legal through a drop or something else or not. They'll come up with some complicated conditions under which it
[06:54] won't be possible to participate. That is, this multi-account strategy specifically for top projects is the riskiest because here you have a high chance of getting nothing. But for example, like the same customer, it's in mayonnaise. That
[07:10] is, you also spend money on a transaction for something else. But in the case of it entering the market, for example, if we look at Anderson Khorovets, for example. We know very well which projects are not rollouts, that they are amazing at
[07:26] manipulating the market, just awesome, then the probability of earning is simply colossal, and earning a lot, a lot, up to tens of x, is absolutely real. And what's really cool about retro drops is that even in that market, when
[07:42] everything is at a standstill, there is no growth. That is, with classic investments and you are waiting for growth, you can't expect this here. They can exit at the most unexpected moment. Why exit at the most unexpected moment. Why can they exit when everything is falling?
[07:57] Or everything is standing still, nothing is growing? Because they have enough money to make the main game in the future, having waited for this growth. That is, they will make money. For long-term investors. When their
[08:12] expectations are dashed, and Also on traders Our task is to get money and just sell everything, leaving nothing, maybe we'll just have about 10 percent, it's better to dump everything, then how to buy from the market, you know very well with the market, it's better to gain
[08:28] from history, that is, we analyzed history, ate it, did the mathematical calculation, found out Will there be manipulation, according to your feelings, here it's also difficult when there is an exit through retro
[08:42] drops. They don't show, I can't really calculate what will happen there, I don't understand How much real coin these guys have, you
[08:54] understand, so it's really a normal topic to just take all this business, dump it and that's it, and then analyze the coins from the market to see Which of them are normal, but the normal method is those that we can calculate, buy them, but this is already
[09:09] further investments, this was already in the last part of the course. And here you need to decide on a strategy. Well, of course, the coolest thing is, well, the most normal, again, I always talk about diversification, this is combining both
[09:25] strategies. When you do both, And here you just need to decide on the ratio, for example, 50 percent of the money or 50 percent of the time you
[09:37] do everything, that is, a bunch of different activities. And on others 50 percent of the time. Either you are already making money on the main projects. Or maybe 50, maybe 10,
[09:49] 90-90, 10 there, or some other ratio. Here you need to think about what strategy is best for you. Let's move on to the recommended task. This is to analyze your psychotype and understand yourself. Can you do the same thing? Or can
[10:04] you spread yourself across a bunch of projects, or can you still do one and the other, or do some main projects yourself? Let's say you take an employee and delegate all sorts of crap to him, let him make his own
[10:19] salary. That is, you need to really determine this for yourself. That is, when you decide on a strategy in advance, you wo n't care later. Oh, why? That's why I did it this way. Why isn't it like this? I don't earn money. I just need to
[10:34] choice, everything is fine. So this means the first building is for the psychotype, and the second is to decide which strategy you
[10:47] will actually use. Because it's one thing that you took your psychotype, and another thing that you, a mathematician, understand by some logic that. Well, it's better to do it a little
[10:59] differently, for example, if you It's more convenient for a psychotype to do more convenient for a psychotype to do everything, but still, some part, figuratively, about 10 percent of money, time. Allocate it to complete the main
[11:14] Allocate it to complete the main projects. What are your main projects? All this will fall into your information field. You just need to go here, see how much was invested, who invested,
[11:27] read some news, just decide for yourself your inner feelings, because we already have mathematics and logic, and you just need to understand for yourself how you will be more comfortable working. With this,
[11:43] I conclude this lesson. I hope it was cool. It was YouTube, was cool. It was YouTube, useless, but I think the benefit was here
