P1. How to research

Image
  Researching is hard; I couldn’t even find a joke about it. Learning how to properly research a project is challenging, especially in the wild west of crypto. Most of us will laugh at the meme above, but you have probably done about every one of the jokes on it. Today we will cover how to research projects and filter out the bad ones, 10x here we come baby! how to manage your time how to skim projects how to deep dive final thoughts How to manage your time We will cover how to use your time correctly since these rules can easily be adjusted to your preferences. For this info I will be taking inspiration from other writers and Twitter accounts I deem trustworthy. 1.       Smaller circles Divide your research into topics; when I start my research, I always look for key factors, such as holders, supply, price, emissions and FDV. This way, you get a general idea about the token structure of a project. It's also wise to focus on 1 topic in crypto if you're sti...

Arbitrum gems

This won't be a project that I'm putting any research into but I'm looking for some $ARBI smallcaps that might boom when the odyssey starts again. This will more be focused on the chance of success. I think we should have a closer look at arbi small caps since their potential is huge and I'm sure that if you look at them for 15 mins and invest from there you can make some quick $$. This is from Twitter and lurking on defilama so this won't be alpha that you can't find yourself if you look. Don't spill your drink, but I'm talking about $LIQUID Liquid Finance is using frax mechanics to peg lqETH to eth and the pair is paying out 200% apr rn. A nice way to earn some good short-term gains on your eth. This 200% won't stay for long but ~40% of supply is locked so I can see the rewards stay for quite some time, def worth checking out. This one was already mentioned by someone but I can't remember who it was. We are talking about $FOREX. M...

Fort Knoxter

What do you call a fort made out of doors? fort knocks! Personal bias: None. Chance of success: 2. Performance: 6.5 Another project from Kayos, this time I don't know anything about the project to start so this is going to be fun. The project itself is really interesting, I recommend watching this vid:  https://youtu.be/s6ncgcKdYBE  What I can't figure out is why you would want to hold this token, the only buy pressure is that their services are paid in $FKX  à  $FKX tokenomics ( Our tokenomics and FKX ecosystem design: All paid plans features are charged in FKX. In other words, paid users will have to buy FKX on the exchanges, thereby creating the perfect utility ecosystem and FKX demand. (FKX has a total supply and circulating supply of 150 Million FKX). I think it's an interesting protocol that is needed in the crypto space but I don't see a good reason to invest in their token. There doesn't seem to be enough buying power from their services.

Loaded Nodes

'Bro I'm loaded on this node research' Personal bias: Med negative. Chance of success: 2. Performance: 5 First of I am biased about this project in a negative way. The project uses horde mechanics and I just don’t like their system. I’m (briefly) looking into it since one of my friends is involved with the project. So I’m going to guess you have heard of Horde, they pay out 1% a day and have been really successful for investors. I don’t see how they would sustain their model, which is my biggest problem with this project. Just as a note, not all this info will be 100% since that’s not figured out yet, so keep that in mind. They will have 3 different tiers of NFTs which will pay out greater rewards the more expensive the nft/node becomes. 3 other nfts will do extra things to your nodes, 1 lowers the selling tax, 1 increases the profit per node you’ll make and the last one decreases the wait time for selling your coins. There isn’t much info out about the project currentl...

TON (toncoin)

Researching a TON of coins today Personal bias: None. Chance of success: 4. Performance: 3. Kayos gave me a short shill as to why he was invested into ton, here are my thoughts. Starting with some basic info, currently,  2,032 holders w the top 100 holders holding ~92% of the total supply, 51.4% of this is held by ftx exchange but that still leaves a big chunk of supply in the hands of a few holders. Price: $1.48, current price is a bit high for me, id start dcaing in at around $1 if you are planning on buying into this project. Current supply is  5,047,558,528 (CMC) with a total supply of  20,662,983,653.3 if we go of reported info on CMC. The current supply will 4x after full emissions, keeping in mind that this is a POS coin its all about their distribution plan. I wasn’t able to find this information. Now, why would you buy ton? First of all, telegram is behind toncoin and they have big plans, they want to implement apps on their chain and ton is the main coin beh...

Scoring factors

There are 3 scoring factors to account for my possible bias, chance of success and performance. Bias will be scaled  qualitatively, chance of success and performance will be scaled 1-10 with 1 being the lowest and 10 the highest.  1. Bias, this is so you know how much I like a project already, this way you can form your own opinion about my research. 2. Chance of success, this is mostly regarding price movement, this doesn’t mean I believe in the vision of a certain project just that I think there is a good or bad risk reward if you were to buy in at prices I list below. 3. Performance, this is to rank how well I think the project will do as a vision, meaning that I like the team and their vision/plan. This doesn’t go into how the price will perform since there are a lot of factors, you can have the best team in the world and still not gain any traction.
