The two main core applications of the Base chain are a DEX and lending.

The DEX uses the Aerodrome token, which is $AERO .
I was very optimistic about this coin initially, bought it on-chain.
It was around 1 USD, but then it kept dropping to 0.1-0.2 USD.
Later, it was listed on an exchange, started rising to over 2 USD at its peak, and I finally broke even.
Many friends who bought along with me got liquidated.
I almost couldn't hold on myself.
Behind Aerodrome is OP Stake, which is supported by the OP public chain.
OP also has a DEX called Verodrome, and this coin's performance is extremely poor—worse than usual.
I was in there for half a year and couldn’t hold it, so I just cut my losses and left.

Lending is handled by Morpho.
I initially bought it when it launched, then got caught in a trap.
I added some and when it rose, I sold.
Later, it formed a deep partnership with Base, which I’ve written about and discussed in live streams.
A student asked me to recommend two coins, only two clones, and I recommended $ONDO and $MORPHO , both doubled almost immediately.
I didn’t buy Morpho; it was listed on Ondo.
The student didn’t buy Morpho either, but it doubled that day.
He messaged me saying he missed the chance to buy in.
I told him I didn’t buy in either.
There are too many clones; it’s impossible to buy them all.
I just can’t keep up with everything.

If you want to make big money in the crypto world, you need to hold large positions and go all-in aggressively.
Before doing this kind of operation, there’s a very important premise:
Your target must be resilient, and the fundamentals should be solid, with the potential to drop to an ideal price.
Think about why CZ dared to sell his house and go all-in back then—because he understood Bitcoin thoroughly, and caught the right moment.
It’s not just about blindly selling your house based on someone’s words.

There are actually students in BTB Research who have mortgaged their houses to go all-in on clones—impressive, right?
Rich people indeed!
