4 things I look out for while researching a memecoin are:

- Volume (buys/sells)
- Supply/mcap ratio
- Holders growth
- Catalysts

I found a powerful dashboard that simplifies this for me.

Also, these strategies are aimed at discovering potential memecoins, there is a need for proper due diligence before you ape in.

However, it has some limitations affecting it's efficiency.

This includes;

Oh! What a painful week we just survived again in Crypto.

Here are a few things you need to know about the whole market meltdown driven by Alameda/FTX insolvency.

Disclaimer!!: Everything here is based on FACTS and REASONABLE ASSUMPTIONS. If you're new or you haven't gotten the time to check Twitter, last week a venture capitalist and crypto exchange filed for bankruptcy (chapter 11).

I checked the words of the CEOs of various huge institutions that filed for bankruptcy this year.

One thing was common;

They didn't expect such a thing to happen hence it took them unaware.

I picked up a lesson which you I will hold unto dearly. It's easy to say things and point hands at them, but most of us build our future like that.

The fact we are at the climax and everyone is clapping hands for us doesn't make us a success.

One costly mistake, everything goes down and the same people that applauded leaves you.

I have read a lot of whitepapers talking about using vaults to maximize yields for users but what could these vaults be?

Let me break it down in a way newbies will understand easily.

P.S: NEWBIE'S EDITION ❕❕❕ A vault can be thought of literally as a box holding assets that are held for a specific purpose.

In tradfi, assets like gold, paper money, diamonds and stuffs could be stored in vaults to be used in the future or kept safely.
