Top 10 tips
-
1) Start with a simple thesis
Write one sentence: “This project wins because…”. If you can’t explain it plainly, you don’t understand it enough to risk money.
-
2) Check the team, track record, and incentives
Look for credible builders, clear roles, and incentives aligned with long-term execution—not just marketing.
-
3) Understand tokenomics before you buy
Supply, unlock schedules, emissions, and who owns what matter. A great product can still be a bad token.
-
4) Look for real usage signals
Users, transactions, revenue/fees, active devs, integrations—pick 2–3 metrics that match the project’s purpose and monitor them.
-
5) Verify security and risk
Audits help but don’t guarantee safety. Prefer projects with multiple audits, bug bounties, and a history of handling incidents responsibly.
-
6) Beware liquidity traps
Thin liquidity can make entries/exits painful. Check exchange availability, depth, and spreads—especially for smaller caps.
-
7) Use position sizing as your superpower
Don’t treat every idea equally. Size positions based on conviction and risk; keep “moonshots” small enough to survive being wrong.
-
8) Prefer a plan over a prediction
Define entries, invalidation, and exits. Decide what would make you reduce or close the position before emotions kick in.
-
9) Avoid information overload
Pick a small set of trusted sources and a weekly review routine. More content rarely means better decisions.
-
10) Respect cycles and take profits
Have a profit-taking plan. In altcoins, “up only” doesn’t last forever—protect wins so one dump doesn’t erase months of gains.
