Recently, there have been some useful things in the information stream. Here are five noteworthy directions to pay attention to.

**Overview of the Robot Track**

This field is becoming increasingly competitive. Some projects directly issue tokens, while others focus on task participation. If you want to quickly understand which players are in the track, you can check out this comprehensive overview of the robot track created by industry insiders, which covers quite a lot.

**Regulatory Bill CLARITY Progress Has Fluctuated**

Recently, the review of the CLARITY bill was suddenly postponed, and some are worried it might drag down the market. In fact, looking at the bill's content, it mainly revolves around four conflicting points: restricting stablecoin yields (such as annualized returns on USDC), favoring traditional finance and disadvantaging native crypto companies, limiting tokenization of stocks, and expanding government regulation over DeFi. In the long run, this might actually be good for the industry, as it could help gain more influence. If both sides reach a quick compromise, the bill might be re-reviewed at the end of January or early February. Currently, it doesn't seem to have a major impact.

**Too Many Crypto Card Options**

Recently, someone created a comparison platform for crypto UCards, summarizing various UCard products on the market. You can check out the features and application methods for each card. It's quite convenient for users who need this type of product.

**A Step-by-Step Guide to Hong Kong Card Application**

Previously, a prominent influencer released a guide specifically for applying for Hong Kong cards, covering everything from zero basics to getting started. If you have this need, you can look it up.

**Actual Impact of X Platform API Changes on the Information Stream**

X canceled API support for a popular mouth-lipping platform, and KAITO directly eliminated competitors and launched STUDIO, transforming into an ad aggregation platform. But honestly, based on my experience in this field, even without APIs, 95% of the content on X is still purpose-driven advertising. The key isn’t whether the platform provides tools, but whether you can distinguish real content from soft ads. This skill is really important. At the same time, building your own information sources is also crucial, such as regularly following some reliable big V accounts for daily sharing, so you can filter out noise. By the way, even though X doesn’t provide APIs, mouth-lipping platforms still have ways—manual submission still works.

These are just personal opinions, for reference only.

Is the robot track getting so competitive? We all have to issue tokens now. The delay of the CLARITY Act is actually okay; it's beneficial for us in the long run. The U-card comparison platform is pretty good. Finally, someone organized it. I've seen the Hong Kong card tutorial; it's indeed comprehensive. Regarding X's API issue, honestly, it's a matter of information discernment ability. The statement that 95% is advertising hits hard. You need to build a good source yourself.

The robot track has become a tangled mess, with those issuing tokens directly and those doing tasks fighting fiercely. Looking at this panoramic view, you can at least know which pit you're in. Is CLARITY delayed? I think it's actually good news. It's better than rushing it out and blocking our way. There are a bunch of U-card platforms, and Hong Kong card tutorials are also available. These days, even the entry barriers have been renovated. The operations on X platform are basically another round of reshuffling of tools for cutting leeks, but frankly, I’ve seen through 95% of the advertising. The key is to rely on your own judgment; otherwise, no matter how many tools there are, they’re useless. What truly matters is whether you have your own information sources. This is more important than anything else.

The robot track is so competitive, it's really not interesting. Whether it's issuing tokens or task modes, it all depends on the fundamentals.

The robot track has become so competitive that some projects give away coins for free, while others require you to work for them. Honestly, it's a bit exhausting. The bill delay is actually okay. Rather than rushing it through, it's better to take our time and refine it. In the long run, it's beneficial for us. If X doesn't provide an API, then so be it. The key is to keep your eyes open and not believe everything blindly. Once the Hong Kong card tutorial is out, everyone will understand. It's nothing special. KAITO's move in this game is quite interesting, as it directly took down the competitors.

tbh the real alpha is just learning to smell bullshit from a mile away... API drama this API drama that, but at the end of the day it's all just noise filtering exercises lmao

The robot race track is too competitive, and the tasks of issuing tokens are mixed together, making it impossible to tell who is reliable. The CLARITY bill is dragging on, but I don't think it will have much short-term impact. In the long term, it might still be beneficial for the ecosystem. There are a bunch of platform comparisons for Hong Kong Card and U Card, which makes it a bit more complicated and harder to choose. Regarding the X API issue, honestly, it all depends on personal judgment. The claim that 95% of it is advertising is not an exaggeration; you need to be able to discern for yourself. But frankly, these summaries are quite thoughtful, at least saving me from scrolling through the information stream again.

The robot race is so competitive; I wish I hadn't joined if I had known earlier. --- Delaying CLARITY might not be a bad thing for us; in the long run, it can help us gain more influence. --- U-card is indeed more convenient compared to platforms, saving us the hassle of flipping through everything ourselves. --- 港卡 now has a nanny-level tutorial? Next time, I should go look for it. --- After X canceled the API, the information flow became even messier; we still need to be more alert.

The robot track is heating up rapidly, now it's all about who can survive until the end. The CLARITY changes are actually okay; the short-term fluctuations and long-term benefits of this narrative still sound quite credible. U-card platforms are convenient, but the real core is still learning to discern information. 99% of the content on X is rhythmically curated. Hong Kong card tutorials are comprehensive, which is good. Just get started if you need them. Ultimately, you still need to establish your own information sources and not let platform tools hijack your thinking.

The number of projects issuing tokens directly in the robot track is really increasing, it feels like everyone is copying each other. --- The delay of the CLARITY Act actually seems like good news, beneficial for the ecosystem in the long run. --- I agree with the statement that 95% of advertisements are overhyped, but you need to learn how to discern. --- Has the Hong Kong card tutorial appeared? Wow, this really lowers the barrier to entry. --- Crypto cards are more convenient compared to platform cards; having too many options can be troublesome. --- The API controversy around X basically depends on how well your information sources are built. --- This wave of regulation is actually about争夺话语权 (争夺话语权 means "contesting the right to speak"), short-term turbulence but not necessarily bad in the long run. --- The panoramic view of the robot track is good, but with so many project approaches, you still need to discern for yourself.

The robotics track is already everywhere, with tokens and task lines mixed together, making it hard to tell who the real players are. I'm a bit annoyed by the CLARITY Act delays, but you're right, in the long run it might actually be a positive. The biggest concern is the annualized yield cuts on stablecoins. Where can I find a tutorial for Hong Kong cards? Is there really a step-by-step guide? It seems like different influencers say different things. 99% of posts on X are sponsored content. The API cuts are just the surface; the key is to have your own information sources and perspective. Having too many card options actually becomes a problem. Comparing platforms is useful, but they all seem pretty similar.
