The ultimate guide on how to make it in crypto.
One thread with all my secrets & strategies on how to find & invest in low-cap gems.

You can literally turn everything into a bullish argument in crypto:

‘Real yield’ is not a narrative.
It’s the result of a natural evolution of the industry towards sustainability and will become the norm in the future.

Restake - $RSTK -
@restakefi
:
Very bullish on this one:
- The first restaking project with a token
- The first token powered by EigenLayer
Current at $9M which seems low for a first mover within a new narrative.
10% of EigenLayer's rewards will flow back to $RSTK.

"What's happening to Crown? What's happening to EMP"?
What is happening is that all these new Fjord LBP launches are sucking the limited liquidity out of all of the other plays.
I suggest you either find a way to make money out of it, or stop whining.
This is how the game is
$PERPS is at range lows.
I think it's a very good buying opportunity here.

I took a position in a promising micro-cap AI-project:
-

- $AIRI - from the Oraichain team
- AI-based NFT Authenticity Verifying Service - narrative play
- 480K market cap - 680K volume - 430K liquidity
- Very little sell pressure

✅Layer 1
✅Only 130 mil. market cap

The conclusion of my research:
Proton is heavily undervalued❗️

I've been adding $HMX on the way down in the past couple of days.
I think it's undervalued for it's market cap vs $GMX & $GNS for example.
Market cap:
$HMX: $13 million
$GMX: $330 million
$GNS: 115 million
A comparison:

This is the fun part of the cycle.
I'm a partypooper here but many of you won't be able to keep the gains you make.
Everything goes up, everyone is making money and everyone is convinced they picked the right project.

Ran the numba's on $INS and picked up a bag:
Presale bought at 0,03$, up 20X but with 30% released so up 5-6X.
8 million tokens sold at $0,03 so with 30% released this should give a potential selling pressure of $1 million dollar.
Total selling volume since launch was $8
Billions of dollars are going to flow into DeFi post-Shanghai upgrade in the form of ETH-derivates.
Many call it a second LSD-narrative.
I call for a new DeFi-primitive, that of LSDfi.

You can frontrun the market by buying before them.

- 40% increase in TVL since early January.

$GUISE to my portfolio.

@MapProtocol

Someone asked me if I didn't think this was one the high side.
This requires context, it's a Bitcoin L2.
It's direct competitor, STX is valued at $1,6 billion, 16X higher.
So, definitely not.
The playbook for first movers is always the same.
Pump - Everyone thinks they're late
Retrace - No one wants to buy anymore

A scammer created a fake website, drained people's $MUBI and market sold them for about $100 000.
This has nothing to do with $MUBI or the Mubi contract.
Just a hacker draining a wallet from someone that clicked a phising link.
Mubi is still the only & first bridge between

It's tiring sometimes, but there are no free lunches in this game.
These are the buys on $CROWN.
There's a lot of similar sized buys, all between $100 - $2000 dollar.
The reason for that is cause it's on SOL + Liquidity is low.
The good news is that it won't stay like that forever.
I'm bullish on $AQTIS because it's one of the few project that actually uses A.I. & Machine Learning.

99% of people buying DeFi-tokens will never use DeFi.
99% of people buying gaming-tokens will never play blockchain games.
Crypto is driven by news, hype & narratives.
Once you understand how to play the narrative game, you'll start making proper money.
All the rest is noise.
