🧵 Alpha Zeroing Coin Deep Dive: Among 437 projects, 27% turned into “a few-cents” trash paper!
Many people review Alpha by only looking at the “wealth-creation myth” of how many ten-thousands of dollars they made, but today I want to show you the other side of these coins—those 【zeroing tragedies】 we’ve forgotten.
After pulling the complete data from 437 episodes, I was deeply shocked by these zeroing numbers 👇
🪦【Harsh Reality: 27% of projects are worth less than $3】
• Completely zeroed / no liquidity: 39 projects
• Current value < $1.00 (true “penny stock”): 35 projects
• Current value $1.00 ~ $3.00 (severe bloodcut): 44 projects
👉 That means 118 projects in total (27%): if you didn’t sell in the very first moments after opening, now you won’t even have enough to pay for a withdrawal Gas fee once!
😱【A Sad “Two Cents Club”】
• Giants Protocol (G): received 88,000 coins; together, they’re now worth only $0.20 (two cents)!
• Nubila (NB): 250 coins; current value $0.20.
• Hyperbotai (BOT): 2,000 coins; current value $0.30, with market cap left at only $110k.
• Puffverse (PFVS): 875 coins; current value $0.30.
📉【Even “star big projects” weren’t spared】
This isn’t just about random dog coins and worthless air tokens—back when they looked like big fundraising / big institution projects, it’s now just a pile of mess:
• Former privacy king
$ALEO : 165 tokens now worth only $2.70
• BTC L2 leader
$MERL : 126 tokens now worth only $2.60
• Well-known cross-chain bridge $Owlto: 667 tokens now worth only $0.60
• ZK star Polyhedra (ZKJ): 50 tokens now worth only $0.40
💡【3 Life-Saving Lessons from the Zeroing Data】
① 【Don’t fall in love with non-core assets】: 90% of Web3 projects are essentially “consumables.” The most reliable capital-protection strategy is to sell based on the TGE opening price.
② 【Watch out for high FDV + concept packaging】: Especially small-cap coins in AI and GameFi that ride hype—their listing is often the peak of their lifecycle.
③ 【Big-picture thinking needs extremely high thresholds】: Historically, the ones that truly can rise from a few hundred bucks to over a thousand (like BTW, AKE) must have real heavy control/whale management or an irreplaceable niche in the ecosystem. For ordinary projects, treat them as “zeroing air.”
