Many will be down bad in #crypto
Maybe you followed a terrible pick from an #Influencer & it dumped.

If you want to win in #crypto & you need to beat them.
You need to use the tools they do & find the best #HiddenGems first.

Here is a list of 15 essential tools you need 🧵👇
1/ MESSARI

Always try to spot the next big macro trend or 'narrative' in #crypto. Just because #play2earn or #DEFI was hot in the past, doesn't mean it will be in the future.

The thesis by @twobitidiot at @MessariCrypto
is 1 of the best tools 4 this:

messari.io/pdf/messari-re…
2/ #CoinMarketCap

Once you have found a narrative, time to find some great potential projects that could run alongside it.

(Eg if #Defi is coming back, hunt for small-cap Defi projects)

@CoinMarketCap is one of the best tools 4 doing this.

coinmarketcap.com
3/ #CoinGecko

@coingecko is also another great tool for this.

It also links to the contract addresses & whitepaper documentation for specific projects.

coingecko.com
4/ COMPARE MARKET CAP

Once you have found a narrative & great project it's then essential you research tokeconomics. Esp total market cap.

🚨 Comparing market cap is more important than price

@MarketCapOf is a simple & brilliant tool to do this.

marketcapof.com
5/ WTF IS TOKECONOMICS ?

If you are new to #crypto or want to level up your understanding of tokeconomics, I wrote a detailed thread here covering everything you need to know:

6/ DUNE ANAYLTICS

Want to delve even deeper into a project?

@DuneAnalytics is one of the best tools around. Many crypto projects have custom dashboards, allowing you to check out a bunch of metrics.

Takes time to master, but worth the effort.

7/ DEX SCREENER

If you are feeling spicey & your project has a super low market cap / is risky. It may not show up on some of the previous tools.

If this is the case I highly recommend @dexscreener

dexscreener.com
8/ DEFI LLAMA

If you are specifically trading L2s or looking at DeFi projects, I highly recommend @DefiLlama which lets you track a bunch of important metrics, such as TVL (Total Value Locked)

defillama.com
9/ L2BEAT

@l2beatcom is another great tool for having a quick glimpse at the Layer2 landscape - showing total market share, 7 day change & much more.

l2beat.com
10/ CoinMarketCal

Once you have found a good narrative & projects, you also need to ensure there are some good catalysts or 'news moments' coming up. These will help spark interest & price.

@CoinMarketCal is a great tool for this.

coinmarketcal.com/en/
11/ CRYPTO PANIC

Crypto panic is also a great tool for checking out which #crypto projects are getting the most social buzz/chatter right now.

cryptopanic.com
12/ LUNAR CRUSH

@LunarCrush is a great social listening tool, to get an overview of whether specific projects are gaining (or losing) social buzz.

Remember more social buzz, generally, the price will be be (provided the chatter is good!)

lunarcrush.com
13/ GOOD MAGAZINES TO READ

Beyond all of this, it's essential to follow and keep up with general #CryptoNews Here are some good ones to check out:

$50BN was wiped off the value of @netflix $NFLX this week.
To understand why I'd like to take a different perspective.

I will break down the #brand & #business failings that led to this loss.
In the simple & small thread below 🧵👇
#marketing #brand #Netflix Image
1/ PRODUCT-MARKET FIT pt1

We live in an increasingly impatient world.

We live in a world where we expect everything immediately. We can buy whatever we want, with one click. We can order a taxi, instantly. And stream endless content, whenever we want.
1/ PRODUCT-MARKET FIT pt2

In this increasingly impatient world, $NFLX had a great product-market fit.

-epic amounts of great content.
-content that dropped all at once, no need to wait, just binge it all straightaway.
-no distractions, 100% ad-free.
-very cheap monthly fee.

An important thing to master in #crypto.
Is understanding Tokeconomics.
It helps you eliminate bad projects fast.
And identify hidden gems 💎

After learning from years of experience in #crypto.
Here is a simple thread that spells out what you need to know🧵👇
1/ WHAT THIS THREAD WILL COVER

-Total circulating supply
-Total market cap & fully diluted market cap
-Token ownership
-Token unlocks
2/ TOTAL CIRCULATING SUPPLY (TCS) (i)

TCS is the max number of tokens that can ever exist for a project.

Think of it like shares issued by a company. The bigger the number, generally the worse it is.

Because each token represents a smaller % ownership of a project.

There is a lot of uncertainty in the markets right now.
IMO too many are embracing an ‘up only’ mindset.

But I have spent countless hours reading & learning.
To form my own hypothesis.

Here is a thread explaining what I think. 🧵👇
⚠️ many won't like what I have to say.
OVERVIEW

To be clear I am bullish long-term on #bitcoin & the #crypto market in general.

But if you follow me you will know I have been bearish for a while.

And before you scream FUD or attack me.
Just read the thread 👇
1/ BTC + STOCK CORRELATION

- $BTC is more correlated to the NASDAQ & SP500 than ever before.

-This is b/c $BTC is a much larger asset class + the relative increase in institutional investors.

-Once you understand this correlation you can begin to see some warning signs

Investing in #crypto isn't easy.
Most make big mistakes.
And many lose a lot of money.

I have spent countless hours reading & improving.
And learning from my mistakes.

Here is a simple thread with the 7 key things I have learned & you need to know 🧵👇
#cryptocurrency
1/ RESEARCH (i)
Despite being told to do you’re own research #DYOR most new investors don't! They APE in & let greed/emotions take over.

You NEED to do you’re own research & form you’re own hypothesis.

BTW watching an influencer Youtube video doesn't count.
1/ RESEARCH (ii)

Some of the most important things you need to research on a project are:

-Tokeconomics (market cap, unlocks & allocation)
-Brand story (a project many can get behind)
-Brand experience (is it easy to use + build upon)
-Does it play to a #crypto narrative

2/ CATALYST - 1

$ETH is struggling with high fees & slow speeds. And while there have been high hopes for $MATIC & other L2s...they are still not as cheap as $SOL
