The road from traditional finance to Web3

从传统金融到Web3之路

Mercy_okx (@Mercy_okx): Can you share with us your experience in entering the Web3 industry?

Mercy_okx (@Mercy_okx)：您能跟我们分享一下您进入Web3行业的经验吗？

Honest Mr. Mai (@Michael_Liu93): I entered the financial industry after graduating in 2016. I first worked in a Canadian investment bank for two years and then did mergers and acquisitions. My first contact with blockchain was a relatively accidental opportunity. At that time, when I was researching the field of enterprise services, I participated in a conference call with the Credit Suisse investment research team, where they discussed blockchain technology. I actually heard about Bitcoin in college, but I was more skeptical about cryptocurrencies at that time. It was not until 2017-2018 that I came into contact with the application of Ethereum and blockchain in the field of enterprise services that I became interested in this field and began to invest in some early public chain projects. However, at that time, I was still looking at blockchain from the perspective of traditional VC. It was not until 2020-2021 that I officially turned from the traditional field to cryptocurrency. Now I mainly operate a Bitcoin secondary market fund.

诚实的麦先生（@Michael_Liu93）：我是2016年毕业后进入金融行业的，先在加拿大投行工作了两年，然后做并购。我第一次接触区块链是一个比较偶然的机会。当时我在研究企业服务领域的时候，参加了瑞信投研团队的电话会议，他们讨论了区块链技术。我其实在大学时就听说过比特币，但当时我对加密货币更加持怀疑态度。直到2017-2018年接触了以太坊和区块链在企业服务领域的应用，才对这个领域产生了兴趣，并开始投资一些早期的公链项目。不过，当时我还是从传统VC的角度来看待区块链。直到2020-2021年我才正式从传统领域转向加密货币。现在我主要经营一只比特币二级市场基金。

Mercy_okx: From initially being a VC to focusing on Meme coin trading, what is the logic behind this transformation process?

Mercy_okx：从最初做VC到专注Meme币交易，这个转变过程背后的逻辑是什么？

Honest Mr. Mai: I am a person who likes to chase new opportunities. I will go wherever there is a wealth-creating effect. Now the market opportunities are obviously in the secondary market. You can either buy Bitcoin to get Beta returns or participate in the chain. However, I also went through a period of discomfort when I first entered the chain trading. I found that many friends who sent me private messages said that it was difficult to get started with chain trading and they lost money as soon as they entered. In fact, I also lost money for half a year at the beginning, and I was "cut" by others every day. This is because even if you have stable profitability in the secondary market, you have to be educated by the market again when you come to the chain. So I suggest that everyone should accept this process calmly, because this is a necessary tuition fee.

诚实的麦先生：我是一个喜欢追逐新机会的人。哪里有创富效应我就去哪里。现在市场机会显然在二级市场。您可以购买比特币以获得 Beta 回报，也可以参与该链。不过，我刚进入连锁交易的时候也经历过一段不适应的时期。我发现很多给我发私信的朋友都说链上交易很难上手，一进去就亏钱了。其实一开始我也亏了半年钱，每天都被别人“砍”。这是因为即使你在二级市场有稳定的盈利能力，但来到链条上你还要再次接受市场的教育。所以我建议大家冷静地接受这个过程，因为这是必要的学费。

My previous VC experience is very helpful to me now. In essence, they are all financial markets, and they are all games of human nature. The logic of market making and retail investors selling is very similar.

我以前的VC经历对我现在非常有帮助。本质上，它们都是金融市场，都是人性的游戏。做市和散户抛售的逻辑非常相似。

Meme coin market in-depth insights

Meme币市场深度洞察

Mercy_okx: How did you start building your personal IP? What do you think is the most critical factor in increasing your fans from a few thousand to more than 60,000 in a short period of time?

Mercy_okx：你是如何开始打造你的个人IP的？您认为让自己的粉丝在短时间内从几千人增加到六万多，最关键的因素是什么？

Honest Mr. Mai: I think I was lucky, and I got on the right track in several waves. First of all, I realized very early that personal IP and voice are very important in the Meme track. Because Meme is essentially a communication game, if you are a super communicator or information center, you can be closer to other information centers. In all financial markets, information gap is always the most valuable.

诚实的麦先生：我觉得我很幸运，几波就走上了正轨。首先，我很早就意识到个人IP和声音在Meme赛道中非常重要。因为Meme本质上是一款交流游戏，如果你是超级交流者或者信息中心，你就可以和其他信息中心拉近距离。在所有的金融市场中，信息缺口永远是最有价值的。

When I first created the account, I wanted to develop it in the direction of Meme. At first, I mainly shared some of my secondary market experience, such as how secondary market makers operate, including some retail investors chasing Dog and Hamster on TON at the time. I analyzed the market making and harvesting methods behind these projects. These contents resonated with many people, and the account grew from a few hundred followers to a few thousand.

刚创建账号的时候，我想往Meme的方向发展。首先我主要分享了我的一些二级市场经验，比如二级市场做市商是如何运作的，包括当时在TON上追狗和仓鼠的一些散户。我分析了这些项目背后的做市和收获方式​​。这些内容引起了很多人的共鸣，该账户的粉丝从几百人增长到几千人。

Later, I started to share my experiences on Meme. Then Solana exploded quickly, and I caught this wave of market. Although I caught

后来我开始在Meme上分享我的经历。然后Solana快速爆发，我抓住了这波行情。虽然我抓到了
