Investing in New Chains: One Man’s Shitcoin is Another Man’s Alpha!
Share

In 2022, there are at least 1000 blockchains. 

Blockchain and cryptocurrencies have evolved in use over the last decade and gone are the days when Bitcoin was the only known cryptocurrency. 

We now have many blockchain projects that have been created since the first blockchain application was introduced more than a decade ago. 

How can one spot a new project, invest it and make good returns? We have seen projects whose price has grown with 100X while others have suffered a natural death. 

As new ecosystems are built out, it can be difficult to create a strategy to capture Alpha throughout the development of each ecosystem.

At Momentum 6 through our article; Investing in New Chains: One Man’s Shitcoin is Another Man’s Alpha!, we have analyzed the process that new chains follow to determine how to capture the Alpha.
