In the field of cryptocurrency investment, the concept of 'hundredfold coins' has always attracted attention and pursuit from investors. However, very few truly understand how to profit from hundredfold coins. This phenomenon is underpinned by complex market logic and investment psychology factors. A thorough analysis of the characteristics of hundredfold coins, as well as the behavioral patterns of investors when faced with such investment opportunities, is of great significance for formulating reasonable investment strategies.
I. Analysis of the Characteristics of Hundredfold Coins
(1) The Relationship Between Market Value and Potential
It should be made clear that hundredfold coins are not necessarily the most famous, mainstream, or high-quality cryptocurrencies in the market. Generally, large cryptocurrencies with a market value of over 100 billion RMB have limited growth potential; typically, achieving a 3-5 times increase is already quite difficult. Meanwhile, the top 30 cryptocurrencies with a market value between 10 billion and 100 billion RMB, while having relatively high growth potential, also find it rare to achieve a hundredfold increase, although the probability of a tenfold increase is relatively high.
True hundredfold coins are often hidden among those second-tier coins that have enormous industry development potential yet are seriously undervalued at current prices. From historical data and market rules, hundredfold coins are most likely to appear among tokens with a market value of 1-3 billion RMB and a unit price in the range of 0.01-3 RMB. This is because when such tokens have a relatively low market value, their price base is small; once the industry experiences explosive growth or the project itself achieves significant breakthroughs, the potential for an increase in market value and price will be substantial.
(2) The Impact of Unit Price Factors
When discussing hundredfold coins, in addition to market value, the unit price cannot be overlooked. Although market value can more accurately reflect the intrinsic value of a cryptocurrency, as it involves various factors such as circulation, psychological factors also play an important role in investment decisions. Through statistical analysis of market data, it can be found that cryptocurrencies like XRP, ADA, XEM, XLM, TRX, and DOGE, which have seen significant price increases this year, were mostly at a unit price of a few dollars before their sharp rise. A lower unit price creates a psychological expectation of cheapness and substantial upside potential, attracting more investors' attention and participation.
II. The Counterintuitive Characteristics of Hundredfold Coins
Cryptocurrency projects that are expected to increase in market value by 100 times often are not favored by the public at present and may even be overlooked. This is because such projects typically have counterintuitive or even anti-human characteristics and cannot be examined through conventional habitual thinking. If a project can easily be viewed positively by the public based on conventional thinking, its price will necessarily rise in advance, making it difficult for ordinary investors to acquire tokens at a low price.
For example, certain emerging cryptocurrency projects may have overly advanced technical concepts or their business models may not yet be widely recognized, leading to a low market value assessment. However, once breakthroughs occur in the technology of that field or the market environment changes favorably for the project, its value may explode instantly, and the coin price will soar as well. Yet, at the project's initial stage, due to its counterintuitive characteristics, very few investors can perceive its potential value.
III. Reasons Why Investors Find It Difficult to Obtain 100 Times Returns from Hundredfold Coins
(1) Investment Psychology and Selling Behavior
Even if investors are extremely lucky and purchase a hundredfold coin early, it is still incredibly difficult to truly obtain a 100 times return from the coin's hundredfold price increase. When the price of a cryptocurrency doubles, at least half of the investors will choose to sell their tokens due to concerns about price corrections or because they believe they have reached their pre-set profit target. When the price of the coin rises to five times, some of the remaining investors will also sell due to risk concerns. As the price of the coin continues to rise, the number of selling investors will inevitably increase. When the price reaches fifty times, it can be assumed that 99% of the initial investors have sold all their tokens. Therefore, in reality, only less than 1% of initial investors can truly hold on until the price increases by 100 times.
(2) Changes in Investor Structure and Differences in Returns
In the process of a cryptocurrency's price rising from its initial price to 100 times, initial investors will constantly choose to exit, while new investors will continuously enter due to the ongoing price surge. However, these new investors find it very difficult to achieve a 100 times return, and they are very likely to become the last buyers at a high price. This is because the purchase price for new investors is already high, leaving limited room for subsequent price increases. Moreover, during periods of excessive market enthusiasm, new investors often lack in-depth research on the project's fundamentals and are merely attracted by the rapid price surge, blindly following the trend and increasing investment risks.
IV. Types of Investors Who Can Obtain 100 Times Returns from Hundredfold Coins
(1) Forgetful Investors
Under normal circumstances, the people who can truly obtain a hundred times return from hundredfold coins are mainly of three types. The first type consists of investors who completely forget about their investment in cryptocurrency for various reasons after purchasing it. They inadvertently eliminate the temptation brought by the wealth effect during the price increase process, and thus do not sell their tokens due to short-term price fluctuations. This forgetfulness allows them to enjoy significant price growth over the long term.
(2) Insignificant Fund Investors
The second type is investors for whom the invested funds are trivial, even after a 100 times price increase, the investment returns seem negligible to them. Therefore, they maintain a very calm mindset during the holding process, and whether to sell or not does not greatly affect their financial situation; this calm mindset allows them to hold onto their tokens firmly until achieving hundredfold returns.
(3) Firmly Faithful Investors
The third type is investors who have an unshakable faith in the value of the project. They deeply research various factors such as the project's technology, team, and market prospects, firmly believing that the project will achieve great success in the future and that the coin price will rise significantly as a result. This strong faith supports them in holding tokens throughout price fluctuations without being swayed by external factors. However, this type of investor is not something that an average person can easily attain; it requires deep industry knowledge and strong psychological qualities.
V. Reasonable Choices for Ordinary Investors: Pursuing Tenfold Coins
In summary, for ordinary investors, instead of spending a great deal of time and energy to find hundredfold coins, it is better to lower the investment difficulty and pursue tenfold coins. From the feasibility and hit rate of investments, the strategy of pursuing tenfold coins is more realistic. On one hand, the probability of tenfold coins appearing is relatively high, and there are more cryptocurrency projects in the market with the potential for a tenfold increase; on the other hand, for ordinary investors, accurately judging whether a project has the potential for a tenfold increase is relatively less difficult, making it easier to filter potential investment targets through research on project fundamentals and market trend analysis. Therefore, setting investment targets at tenfold coins can, to some extent, increase the investment success rate and return level for ordinary investors in the cryptocurrency market.
