Who are the users on the chain?

I think on-chain users can be roughly divided into three categories, airdrop players, DeFi players, and trading players.
Airdrop players focus on participating in the airdrop activities of Web3 projects and obtaining token rewards at low or even zero cost. Their goal is usually to make short-term profits and they are often called "money-pulling parties". DeFi players are keen on DeFi and earn income by providing liquidity, staking, lending, arbitrage, etc., pursuing more stable long-term returns. Trading players, here specifically refers to meme coin players, who mainly speculate and expect to catch the golden dog and get rich.
If you are a person with plenty of time, little capital and low risk appetite, then you are suitable to be an airdrop player. If you are a technology-driven person who likes research and has a certain amount of funds, then you can become a DeFi player. If you are a person who likes speculation, can withstand high risks and expects to get rich through trading, then you can consider becoming a meme coin player.
Airdrop players present a shape that is biased towards time investment, with medium technical ability and community participation, low risk appetite and return expectations, forming a relatively balanced but inward-biased pentagon. DeFi players highlight "technical ability" and risk appetite, with high return expectations, but low community participation and time investment, forming a figure that expands outward but has a narrow bottom. Meme coin trading players: The radar chart strongly leans towards "risk preference", "return expectations", and "community participation", with low technical ability, forming an overall outward-facing figure.
No matter what kind of player you are, there is no best one, only the one that suits you best, so you have to find the track that suits you best. For me, my learning path is from being an airdrop player at the beginning, and I can also earn income while experiencing the product learning project; to being a DeFi player later, I have a deeper understanding of the protocol and on-chain operations, and earn income by mining everywhere; to being an on-chain trading player today, I catch up with popular narratives and look for wealth codes on the chain. My identity and positioning have changed many times, but what remains unchanged is that I have been constantly learning new things, constantly breaking through my limitations, and trying to keep up with the rapid development of the industry. Find a track that suits you, and then move forward!
