Staying Ahead Of The Crypto Curve

By Sapphire Crypto | Sapphire Crypto | 16 Oct 2024


Relentless Innovation

Crypto is the most innovative and fast-paced industry on planet Earth. No other industry is advancing as fast, except for AI, which is aligned and incorporated into blockchain technology. When you think you are in step, new developments and innovations occur. Narratives are born daily, especially within memecoin circles. Being aware of every development is an impossibility.

This is how and why communities are formed. Crypto enthusiasts align themselves with projects and communities they identify with for whatever reason. This enables investors to concentrate and focus on key developments within particular ecosystems. Staying ahead of the curve can be equated with identifying alpha. When everyone knows about it and is positioned accordingly, the real gains are over.

Very seldom will such a scenario continue to produce alpha. Outperforming the altcoin benchmark is an altcoin investor’s primary objective. This will not be achieved by investing in blue chips as they are strongly correlated to the benchmark. Micro-caps and largely undiscovered gems are where it’s at. The next memecoin narrative is also a valuable form of investable data. Being ahead of the curve is non-negotiable.

Immersion

I have often spoken of immersion and the direct link to knowledge and efficiency. When you are immersed in the Crypto space and committed to research and extrapolation of data things start happening. This is when and where alpha is realized. Perusing Cointelegraph and other Crypto-related sites is not going to unlock alpha. These entities congratulate success, but they don’t point you in its direction.

Writers are merely highlighting what has already taken place. Staying ahead of the market and discovering alpha is a personal endeavor. Relying on crypto-related news sources will only keep you updated within the space. However, this level of data has little benefit for altcoin gem hunters. It would be a different story, had it been published weeks or months before.

Being ahead of the curve will also cause others to perceive you as out of touch with the market. However, being out of touch and ahead of are two very different scenarios. The latter is beneficial while the former is detrimental. The proof is in the pudding and when the broader market catches up what was initially seen as out of touch is now recognized as well-tuned and insightful.

The average Crypto investor buys into the wrong ideals time and again. They are bewitched by individuals with nothing to offer, thinking that a following base reflects substance. Crypto influencer accounts are often artificially hyped by giveaways and other financial incentives. I see this quite evidently in the Arena. Without a shift to quality, I don’t envision much of a future.

Final Thoughts

Those who have delivered valuable data over the years are the silent leaders very few follow or pay attention to. For many, the glamor is more alluring. However, it has no real benefits for the average investor. He is better off dedicating himself to research and disciplines that produce the goods, regarding future market moves and identifying alpha. All the best, see you next time!
