This week, OP earned points at zero cost, spreading out all previous costs. My personal estimate is about 7U per point. It’s been less than three weeks since I started calculating.

This week, I was thinking about trying the small pool trading method others mentioned, but I immediately suffered a huge loss. I later realized that small pools have many pitfalls—being unfamiliar with sudden events, liquidity exhaustion, and slippage risks are all hidden killers.

After losing a few times, I shifted to intraday Bitcoin price prediction, trading based on market nodes like those in the chart. In the end, I recovered my losses and even made a profit. Honestly, this kind of betting is still gambling at its core, but compared to the risk level of futures trading, predictive trading definitely offers a lower cost-performance ratio.

But as I always say—don’t copy my approach. Everyone’s risk tolerance is different, and the costs of liquidity traps in small pools and prediction failures are significant. The lessons learned from over-leveraging during the exploration process are worth remembering.
