Finding these projects early is a skill and can be learned.
Over time you will get a nose for hunting alpha
It will take time to become a proficient hunter.
Don't get wiped out before develop your edge
Here are the things that will help you develop & improve this skill:
- Get comfortable with DEX's -
Coins that are listed on a Centralised Exchange (Binance, FTX, Kraken, Coinbase) usually already have a pretty high Marketcap (MC).
The law of big numbers: if Bitcoin has a MC of 1 trillion, it needs 99 trillion to do a 100x.
Some shitcoin with 1 million MC will need 99 million. That can happen in a couple days in crypto.
Don't want to get involved in Dex's and still find gems? These will be low caps in the 10-100m mc range.
@kucoincom is your best bet. It has the most low caps
- (Whale) Wallet Watching -
Last year I was watching whale wallets & youtube influencer wallets.
I had notifications set-up for every movement.
An influencer bought unknown token that just launched called $OHM.
I aped first, did research later.
Knowing the influencer was gonna talk about it in his next youtube video.
I was gonna flip it for a 2-5x. Then read through docs on discord and became intrigued and an ohmie
It then became my biggest portfolio booster with a 40x during mini bear last year.
More information on how to become an expert whale watcher and on-chain wizard are through @OnChainWizard. You can also follow his new wallet where he publicly goes from 5k to 7 figures
- Become a Twitter Expert-
- Advanced Search on Twitter is Your Best Friend
- You can search for your favourite (recent) shitcoin e.g. hyped token $XYZ
- Choose a date range of ~ 1st month of token launch
- Order search results chronologically
- You'll find the FIRST people who EVER shilled it on twitter
- Follow them for future alpha drops & Whitelists
- Follow enough of them and you'll basically be part of insider circles
Found a new Listing or promising gem?
Check out twitter. Who are the followers? Are there big names in there, VCs? Big names in DeFi?
Less than 10k followers?
You're still early anon...
👉 Check out their discord next
- Stalking Discords -
Because I was early to $OHM and there was a big community of innovators in DeFi hanging out in Discord, I found out about $KLIMA and $TOKE early.
Spending time in discord can be time consuming.
Find vibrant communities early and you'll find that will lead you on a trail of other gems.
If you learn about a listing, you can quickly do your due diligence:
- Check Twitter
- Do pulse check in Discord (search bar is your friend)
- Tokenomics?
- Watch on chain for red flags (% held by team/founders/whales)
- Partnerships
Next level MICRO gem hunting:
This legend @shitc0in finds tokens a couple hours old less than 200k marketcap.

So let's dive in...
$250 invested in $JUNO in Dec yielded a $NETA airdrop $45k+ worth two months later 💰 💰 💰
But why hodl, when the airdropped token might go to zero? Why not take profits and put it into the tried and tested BTC/ETH or your favourite blue chip? 3/19

New to crypto? These infographics are a great place to get your head around some core concepts.
@RaoulGMI is an incredible bright mind in the realm of macro econmics. So when Raoul speaks during these times of macro & geopolitical uncertainty, I listen.
Here is a thread with the most important distilled points.
Economic events are much more forecastable, whereas geopolitical events have so many more variables. you have to use a decision tree structure to assess probabilities of all things that could happen and figure out how do I protect myself, can I make money out of this and
what does this all mean for the bigger picture?
I didn’t think we would get this far this fast in terms of Russia sanctions.
But I’ve already been expecting a global slowdown with the economy, so I’ve already started to position myself that way by buying bonds,some gold and US$
For me Crypto is about asymmetrical opportunities.
This thread is not about price predictions, I have no crystal ball. All you can do is have good risk management and take those assymetrical set-ups.
Here's a thread explaining why I think this is the case for $KLIMA.
(🧵,🧵)
This will be a monster thread, with tons of alfa and a collection of many resources at the end if you want to understand Klima more from a technical perspective.
LFG!
If this is your first time hearing about KLIMA or OHM and you have no idea about the mechanics behind the protocol, how the prisoner's dilemma & (3,3), (🌳,🌳) fits into all this, I suggest you read these first: medium.com/bankless-dao/t…
