Wanted to expand on a tweet i made earlier this week about how difficult it is for low port trenchers in these conditions. This tweet was geared towards the casual trencher, guys with a 9-5 who can’t afford to sit on the scope & twitter trackers 24/7
This was me this past year, thought i’d share some tips & the rules I followed to turn a lot into a little as a guy who had a full time job & maintained a regular social life.
I started with 1k in January and ran it to 1.2m at port ath’s*
1. Steer clear of new pairs. My most important rule was don’t ape coins that were less than 15-24hrs old. Of course there were some exceptions, but this eliminated a lot of garbage and increased my odds of success quite dramatically imo. If a coin was still alive after a day & the community was active, more often than not, entries were presented sub 100k. Not only that, it gave you time to do some further DD.
2. Forget tweet coins/quick catalyst plays, just ignore them entirely. If you don’t have a twitter tracker, you are competing against guys who are terminally online & are much quicker and skilled than you. Not worth the risk with a small port
3. Rather than sit on the scope, I would try to find memes myself on different social platforms. I’d set up a fresh TT account and scroll without bias, the feed would just feed me the most viral stuff.
-Few things to look for: New vids with a couple of hundred k likes. If multiple people post the same meme/event with that level of engagement, it’s a good sign that it’s going viral.
- Once you identify a good meme, then go to x or whatever app you use and search to see if a coin has been made
- When you find these memes yourself rather than relying on others or just seeing a random new coin on memescope, it’s so much easier to build conviction and hold longer
4. If you find something early and think it will continue to build, hold. Ignore chasing other stuff. 1k can buy you % of a sub 100k coin. 1% of a coin can change your life. Stop thinking you need to make the money TODAY, let it cook. Can’t tell you how many times i’ve cut positions to try to buy back and got burnt.
Social trading has definitely changed the game, and discovery is much easier, but I feel like the tips listed above gave me a good opportunity of success in such a highly competitive space.
That’s all, hope some find it useful. Again this is aimed towards people just entering the space or those who can’t be chronically online. GL
right around the time ethereum became unusable for the average person in peak 2021 era, the first cohort of users on solana were simply enjoying trading nft’s almost trustlessly in a discord server, meaning there were no third party exchanges facilitating sales. we had middle men we’d tip to handle sales, it was a really fun time
shift to solana happened when tech was fundamentally broken elsewhere and people had something to believe in (a better future). from there a community was born
people log on bird app and say the most outlandish shit when their bags are filled
novel games/hobbies become good investments because most times the early users do not have a ton of money. they’re doing it for the love of the game
they’re ~enjoying~
it just so happens that in this industry when people have fun they usually make money
now the little guys… the people who no one heard of somehow turned nothing into something all of a sudden and have a voice, they get a bunch of followers, they become the greatest marketers to onboard new users
i promise you the only thing you can compare early solana vibes to right now in crypto is @PlayKintara
if you do not have a bag, you’re simply not a serious investor or you got way too complacent
watch this clip of haaland
that’s how you should trade to actually make money, preserve capital, energy and time
relax and chill
when the ball comes to you, score
I just aped 100k into solana:Tqj8yFmagrg7oorpQkVGYR52r96RFTamvWfth9bpump
I’ve played the game after being pressed by so many friends, and i get it now, it’s genuinely fun, sticky and addictive. but more importantly, and why i blasted. a lot of people are already playing because they’re making money.
my biggest trade in 2021 was $AXS. It did 1000x+, and what really pushed it into the mainstream wasn’t that it was an amazing game. honestly, it wasnt even fun, you’d get bored of it after a couple of days.
what made @AxieInfinity explode was how well the play-to-earn economy was designed. people in developing countries (philippines, thailand,african countries etc) were earning 5-10x their monthly salary by playing through scholarship guilds that lent them NFTs for free.
If $KINS can replicate even a fraction of that, (and it’s already showing early signs), it could become one of crypto’s biggest mainstream onboarding apps, just like Axie did.
also the difference is that $KINS is actually fun, and addictive on top of having a compelling play-to-earn loop.
currently Axie sits around a 250M market cap despite having zero of its former player base and activity. $KINS should at least reaches that valuation and flip $AXS. that’s roughly a 10x from here.
to me, that’s the conservative case. If it keeps growing while people genuinely enjoy playing and earning, it has the potential to go much higher.
