To make money in the crypto space, the key is twofold: position management and coin selection.
The methods of position management I briefly mentioned in my previous articles will not be elaborated here. Next, I will talk about the coins I have positions in, as well as potential projects we have filtered based on certain standards.
Considering that the Federal Reserve's rate hikes are about to end and the market is stabilizing, we plan to replicate the successful experience of the zero fund by picking some altcoins that can survive the bear market and potentially increase by dozens or even hundreds of times.
The main screening criteria are as follows:
Technically, the decline from the peak exceeds 90%, with a market cap around the 100th to 1000th rank.
The fundamentals must be stable, with updates still occurring on GitHub, and communities are operational.
The chips need to be exchanged adequately, with the main market makers also in place.
There must also be new concepts; prioritize projects that launch new coins during bear markets.
Liquidity must be good, allowing trading on compliant exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, and OKX.
I. Field of DeFi
Decentralized derivatives could be the main battlefield for future DeFi. As speculative demand rises in bull markets, layer-two scalability solutions are also becoming more robust, increasing the playability of the DeFi ecosystem.
For example, GRAIL, a leading DEX on the ARB chain, is a standout in the new offering platform.
JOE, the leader in DEX on both AVAX and ARB chains, makes bribery selections based on price ranges.
MCB, a contract platform aggregator on the ARB chain.
GNS, a DEX for synthetic asset derivatives, can trade anything, including crypto, forex, and stocks.
There are several others, like LYRA, RDNT, GMD, PENDLE, SSV, SD, UNIBOT, all top players in the DeFi field.
II. Chain Games and the Metaverse
Chain games break the traditional business logic of gaming, allowing players to truly benefit. Although current game innovation and playability are average, platform-type projects may have brighter prospects.
For example, MAGIC, a leading chain game platform on the ARB chain, I have high hopes for.
AGLD, developing the LOOT chain, aims to create a complete chain game.
YGG, a decentralized gaming guild, has now transitioned into a gaming investment fund.
There are also several others, like HALO and MANA, which are popular projects in the metaverse.
III. Field of NFTs
NFT collectibles clarify the attributes and ownership of digital assets. As the demand for on-chain assets increases, NFT collectibles will continue to grow, forming a new ecological industry.
For example, SUDO, an NFT trading platform using the AMM protocol.
BEND, a leader in NFT collateral lending.
OPUL, a music NFT royalty investment platform, allows musicians to use DeFi for collateralized loans.
There is also BLUR, a trading platform and aggregator for the NFT market, which is also quite good.
IV. Field of Social Media
According to the development rules of the internet, the Web3 social graph may experience an explosion once it has a large user base. However, most projects in the decentralized social track currently imitate traditional internet models; a new paradigm has yet to emerge.
For example, GAL, a Web3 credential data network aiming to build a DID system to help project parties better build products and communities.
RLY, which can provide economic support to online creators, such as issuing fan coins.
V. Field of Artificial Intelligence
The combination of AI and blockchain is still in exploration but may bring new business models and opportunities.
For example, AGIX, an AI service platform, creates payment and registration systems using Ethereum and has also established an IDO launch platform.
FET, a public chain deeply integrated with AI, can write smart contracts for AI models.
There are also several others, like ALI, RNDR, OCEAN, all potential projects in the field of artificial intelligence.
VI. Meme Coins
In the last bull market, Meme coins like DOGE and SHIB surged tens of thousands of times; emotional narratives also have value.
For example, XEN, POP mining mechanism, the ecosystem has already been established.
BITCOIN (Note, this has nothing to do with Bitcoin), Harry Potter Bitcoin, the leader in Meme coins.
There are several others, like AIDOGE, PEOPLE, TSUKA, all popular players in the world of Meme coins.
VII. Field of Payments
As more institutions adopt crypto payments, there will be a longer-term demand for crypto payment providers.
For example, ACH, a decentralized open-source payment protocol offering mixed payment solutions for cryptocurrencies and fiat.
VIII. Field of Infrastructure
Decentralized infrastructure allows more people to join the Web3 world.
For example, DAO, Daomaker is a Web3 community incubator that can help projects with financing.
RAD, a decentralized GitHub code collaboration infrastructure, Web3 developer DAO.
There are several others, like POND, CTSI, STG, AXL, SIS, which are all potential projects in the infrastructure field.
IX. Public Chain Field
Building a public chain is like laying down railway tracks; the initial investment is high, but it can continue to generate profits in the long run, and the more prosperous the ecosystem, the stronger the innovative power.
For example, CANTO, a DeFi public chain on Cosmos, collaborates with Polygon on ZK technology.
KAS, a POW public chain ranking in the top three for mining power, uses DAG technology.
CFX, the only compliant public chain in China, collaborates with mainstream domestic apps, leading the Hong Kong concept.
These are the potential projects we have filtered out. Of course, investment carries risks, and one must be cautious when entering the market. When selecting investment coins, it is essential to consider your own risk tolerance and investment objectives to make decisions.

Standards for hundred-fold coins: A deep analysis of coin hoarding and bottom-fishing strategies (please be patient as the text is lengthy).
In the world of cryptocurrency, every investor longs to discover that 'unicorn' project that can yield a hundred-fold return. But how can one sift through the multitude of projects to find the real potential stocks? How to avoid falling into investment traps? This article will reveal the true standards for hundred-fold coins, helping you achieve substantial returns in the crypto investment space.
I. Team and Execution Ability
First, we need to pay attention to the team behind the project. An excellent team means they have the ability to turn ideas into actual products and services. Examining the background, experience, and public communication of team members helps us assess their execution ability. The team's development roadmap and planning are also key factors in evaluating their execution capability.
II. Technological Leadership and Innovation
In the blockchain industry, technology is the core competitiveness. Examining whether a project has a technological edge, whether it holds intellectual property, and whether it innovatively addresses practical problems are crucial criteria for assessing its long-term value. Additionally, we should pay attention to the project's degree of decentralization, security, scalability, and other aspects.
III. Market Demand and Competitive Landscape
A good project must meet market needs. We need to analyze whether the project's target market has growth potential, whether the project's positioning is clear, and what its competitive advantages are. Additionally, we should pay attention to the competitors in the market to understand their strengths and weaknesses, thus judging the competitive landscape of the project.
IV. Economic Model and Deflation Mechanism
A reasonable economic model and deflation mechanism are guarantees for the long-term stable development of a project. We need to focus on the token issuance situation, distribution mechanisms, and consumption methods of the project to assess whether its economic model is reasonable and whether the deflation mechanism is effective. This helps us predict the project's future value and price trends.
V. Community and Ecological Construction
Finally, we should pay attention to the project's community building and ecological development. A healthy community means more users, developers, and use cases. Meanwhile, the project's partners and ecological construction are also important factors in assessing its development potential.
The standards are divided into two parts: threshold standards and advanced standards.
1) Threshold standards must all be met; otherwise, it will not be considered for hundred-fold standard research.
2) Advanced standards must meet at least three criteria.
If this project does not meet the threshold standards for hundred-fold coins or meets the necessary conditions but does not reach three advanced standards, yet preliminary research suggests it is a decent project, it might be a potential ten-fold coin and should still be closely monitored.
I. Threshold Conditions
1. Current or estimated market cap range - between 2 million USD and 200 million USD.
If the market cap is below 2 million USD, it is hard to gain market consensus and difficult to acquire much analytical information online and offline. Projects in the fog should be approached with caution unless the founder is your close confidant.
However, if the market cap is above 200 million USD, it doesn't mean there are no opportunities. Projects that can grow 100 times to 20 billion USD so 'blatantly' are not ones you can research easily. A quick Google search will yield plenty of research.
2. Is it a new coin - A new project that has not experienced a complete bull-bear cycle.
There are too few examples of old coins being reborn; it is better to talk about time travel. The last bull market saw Bitcoin and others surpass their previous highs, while BCH, LTC, and XRP are like dead fish, not to say they haven't surged a few times.
In a bull market, if the percentage increase can't surpass that of Bitcoin, it's better just to buy Bitcoin or Ethereum; why chase after hundred-fold gains?
On the surface, people feel there are trapped investors, making it hard to rally. The essential reason is that most early crypto projects revolve around the story of a hand reaching out to a wolf, essentially lacking fundamentals, primarily telling stories. Therefore, instead of listening to old stories, it’s better to hear new stories and see hundred-fold coins rise from the ground.
3. Track innovation - Has it created a new track?
No innovation, no hundred-fold, it's that simple. Based on an old project's old story, whether it is a gradual improvement or a feeble reiteration of previously unachieved dreams, it is hard to create a myth of flipping the situation a hundred-fold.
You might argue that some projects, like FIL's decentralized storage dream, cannot be realized yet due to the immaturity of encapsulation technology.
For example, HNT's IoT dream cannot be achieved yet because distributed IoT devices are not widespread enough; for example, the metaverse story is hindered by issues like VR, network latency, token economic systems, transmission, and storage.
As long as these projects fundamentally solve problems, telling an old story again or creating some small innovations for speculation, is it impossible to achieve a hundred-fold increase?
I still believe that without substantial innovation, even a 'necessity' from first principles will struggle to stir up market FOMO for hundred-fold gains; perhaps it's better to switch to new projects in a different track.
II. Advanced Conditions
1. Difficulty in mass communication
Projects with clear logic and defined scenarios in the initial stages are like brilliant stars on the sea's surface, captivating but often quickly discovered and captured by brave explorers. Their value is rapidly recognized and absorbed by the market, limiting their appreciation potential.
A true hundred-fold coin is like a mysterious treasure at the bottom of the deep sea, initially unnoticed, even misunderstood and ignored. They come with a layer of intimidating mystery, warning that the journey to explore them will be full of challenges. Due to these issues and doubts, their value is often underestimated in the early stages. However, this low initial value leaves endless possibilities for their future 'reversal' and explosive growth.
In this deep-sea adventure, few know and even fewer believe. These hidden treasures maintain their low value until discovered by the masses. However, once discovered, they could become legendary treasures of the sea, offering incredible returns to brave explorers.
2. Luxurious financing - Is there investment from well-known institutions?
Having benefactors, crabs can walk sideways. Whether early on favored by Sequoia Capital like MATIC, born in luxury like the AXS child of the BN family, or later favored by A16Z like SOL, their successes need no elaboration. However, I personally prefer moderate early investments to avoid over-reliance on huge investments from well-known institutions. Small investments can lead to greater opportunities and growth.
3. Strong team and supporters - The composition of the team, the energy and influence of the founders or behind-the-scenes supporters.
Similar to the previous point, especially for tokens from non-fair issued projects, their centralization tendencies are obvious. If they can rely on other powerful forces, they can more easily exert centralizing influence. If their own strength is substantial, the halo effect will be even more pronounced.
4. High market cap ceiling - Benchmarking against leading projects of the same type, predicting the upper limit of market cap growth.
Trading coins is not just a digital game; it is also a pursuit of dreams. Since you harbor dreams of a hundred-fold return, why not benchmark it against the leading projects? Of course, while chasing dreams, besides L1, we also need to maintain a clear mind and temporarily avoid fantasizing that our targets can surpass Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Of course, it is also possible that this track may rise in the later stages of this bull market, and the overall market cap may increase across all tracks, so comprehensive analysis is necessary.
5. Excellent economic model - Does it have a unique economic model and circulation mechanism, institutional investor seed round pricing, and distribution ratio (dual-token model, unlock time, etc.)?
If the first four points are standards from a macro perspective, the next two will delve into micro-level aspects. After establishing a narrative framework, the core question we face is the supply-demand relationship of the tokens. An excellent economic model needs to find a balance based on the project's characteristics and the timing of the coin issuance. This way, we can alleviate sell-off pressure through the passage of time and market enthusiasm, thus achieving long-term space.
From the perspective of investing in cryptocurrencies, we must praise FIL's outstanding performance in its early years. For those keen on trading coins, this is undoubtedly a rare opportunity. High prices persisted for a considerable period, largely due to its unique economic model that effectively resisted market sell-off pressure through mechanisms like staking and lock-ups. However, if you view it from a mining perspective, the situation may not be as optimistic. But please note, the focus of this article is to analyze from the perspective of trading coins, so we won't delve into other issues.
6. Sufficient token empowerment - Can the token capture the value generated by the project (staking, burning, usage, governance)?
Regarding the topics of empowerment, destruction, and continuous issuance, I have mentioned them multiple times in previous programs. For those in the know, this is no secret. However, when it comes to gaming projects, the potential risks become particularly prominent. Few projects can withstand the pressure of continuous issuance and large token unlocks, which is concerning.
7. Active community engagement - Community atmosphere, cohesion, and activity (including retail investors and developers), reflecting crypto fundamentalism.
The last point is highly consistent with various Fair Mint tokens led by BRC20 in the past six months, especially in the project's early stage, where the importance of engaging the community surpasses previous standards.
Rats is a project that entirely relies on community speculation. The next potential project might be AMB, while the previously criticized Pi may have found its most suitable development path through BRC20.
Having covered the basic standards, there's also a simple, safe, and efficient method: directly focus on exclusive projects from the top exchanges.
This concludes the trading experience shared by Zihao today. Often, your doubts lead to lost opportunities; if you do not dare to try, engage, or understand, how will you know the pros and cons? You must take the first step to know what the next step is, a cup of warm tea, a word of advice, I am both a teacher and a talkative friend.
Meeting is fate, knowing is destiny. The instructor firmly believes that those destined to meet will eventually do so, while those without fate will pass by. The journey of investment is long; temporary gains and losses are just the tip of the iceberg. It's important to know that even the wisest can make mistakes, and even the foolish may gain something. Regardless of emotions, time will not stop for you. Pick up your worries and stand up to move forward.
