Key Takeaways

Market Outlook and Altseason Prediction

  • Continued Bull Cycle: Despite recent downturns, the report suggests that the current bull cycle in the cryptocurrency market is not over. Factors such as the stock market being at all-time highs, expected FED rate cuts, and the increasing total stablecoin supply are cited as indicators of this.
  • Altseason Expectation: The author predicts an altseason later this year, where altcoins (cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin) will see significant price increases. This prediction is based on historical trends and upcoming events such as US elections and FED rate cuts.

Token Selection and Investment Strategy

  • Token Selection Criteria: The report outlines several factors to consider when selecting tokens for investment, including the presence of a charismatic founder, an innovative product, partnerships with web2 and/or web3 giants, decent token utility, and low token emissions. The report also emphasizes the importance of major upcoming catalysts.
  • Investment Strategy: The author’s strategy involves holding up to 10 coins that meet the outlined criteria, arguing against over-diversification. The report also discusses the importance of having a realistic exit plan and suggests using a Reverse Dollar-Cost Averaging strategy for long-term positions.

Airdrop Farming

  • Airdrop Farming Challenges: The report notes that airdrop farming, the practice of earning tokens through participation in a network, has become more challenging due to the appearance of industrial farmers. This has led to most airdrops having a linear distribution to avoid rewarding these farmers.
  • Criteria for Tokenless Protocols: For tokenless protocols, the report suggests looking for a strong community, VC funding, and a low TVL / Total Money Raised ratio. The report also advises farming the airdrops of protocols that people find genuinely useful.

Actionable Insights

  • Consider Market Indicators: Investors should pay attention to market indicators such as the stock market performance, FED rate cuts, and the total stablecoin supply when assessing the potential for a continued bull cycle in the cryptocurrency market.
  • Apply Token Selection Criteria: When selecting tokens for investment, consider factors such as the presence of a charismatic founder, an innovative product, partnerships with web2 and/or web3 giants, decent token utility, and low token emissions.
  • Develop a Realistic Exit Plan: It’s crucial to have a realistic exit plan for long-term positions. Consider using a Reverse Dollar-Cost Averaging strategy, which involves selling the same amount of tokens at regular time intervals.
  • Assess Airdrop Opportunities: When considering airdrop farming, look for tokenless protocols with a strong community, VC funding, and a low TVL / Total Money Raised ratio. Also, consider the usefulness of the protocol beyond airdrop farming.
