Coins You Ignored – A Costly Pattern?
From 2017 to 2024, here’s a list of one coin each year that many ignored — and where they stand today:
2017 – $BNB: Ignored at $0.10, now over $600
2018 – $ADA: Thought dead, now a top 10 coin
2019 – $LINK : Missed at $0.50, now powering DeFi
2020 – $DOT : Overshadowed, but became a layer-0 star
2021 – $SOL: Skipped early, now revived post-FTX
2022 – $MATIC: Bear market darling, massive adoption
2023 – $INJ : Quiet buildup, then explosive growth
2024 – $AI Coins?: Are you ignoring the next big thing?
Every year, ignoring one underdog cost many dearly.

Potential Mistake in 2025
A mistake I might make in 2025 is overlooking a promising but under-the-radar project due to market noise or bias toward established coins. For example, I could underestimate a new Layer 1 or AI-driven token like **Solaxy (SOLX)**, a Solana Layer 2 solution launched in December 2024. With over $4 million raised in its presale and a 50% price surge in a week, SOLX shows strong early traction but may be ignored due to meme coin hype or skepticism about new Layer 2s. Ignoring such projects risks missing significant gains, as seen with past coins like Solana or BOME.
