📌 Profit Cheat Sheet 2025 and What Investors Need to Read

1, Airdrop & Post-TGE Plays and How to Handle the “Unlock” Phase and Trading After Listing:

Sell Fast Strategy

• 75% of airdrop events often decline sharply in the first 1–3 weeks → should exit early unless demand data proves otherwise.

• Use a partial sell strategy to reduce slippage risk.

Disciplined Short Strategy

Conditions for applying short:

• High FDV, low circulating token supply but a large upcoming unlock, weak demand signals.

• Large collateral → reduce liquidation risk.

• Leverage: x3 – max x5.

• Trigger points: end of reward program, market maker exits the market, trading volume decreases.

2, Demand-First Filter:

Only allocate capital if token demand is linked to:

• Revenue from fees (buybacks/burns).

• Recurring demand (daily/weekly).

• Real network effect or deeply integrated hard to replace.

"Red flags" to avoid:

• Token inflation without usage growth.

• Token only has governance or staking utility without generating yield.

3. Shorter hype cycles:

Even top projects lose momentum just weeks after TGE.

• Avoid holding through the “liquidity abyss” without extremely strong conviction.

• Faster capital rotation, treat each narrative as a short-term campaign, not a long-term period.

4, Protocol’s Marketing Weakness = Opportunity:

• Identify teams that overspend before TGE to create hype but lack plans to retain users after TGE → likely to fall into a “traction cliff”.

• Enter early to exit quickly or short when signs of weakness appear.
