Let’s get started!


Why “Cheap” Coins Aren’t Always Good Investments

“Wait… it’s under a penny — why wouldn’t I buy it?”

We’ve all been there.

You see a coin trading at $0.001 and your brain instantly goes:

“If it hits just $1, I’ll be RICH.”

Sounds logical.
But in most cases, that logic is dead wrong.

Let’s break down the illusion — and show you what actually matters.

Price is cheap. But is the market cap?

This is where most people get wrecked.

Let me ask you this:
Would you rather buy a coin at $0.001 with a $5B market cap
or a coin at $100 with a $50M market cap?

You’d be shocked how often people pick the cheaper-looking one — and ignore the upside.

Here’s the real formula:

Market Cap = Price × Circulating Supply

A low price means nothing if the supply is huge.

$SHIB is fractions of a cent — but already worth billions.
It’s not going to $1 unless the entire planet buys in (twice).

So what should I actually look at?

Ignore the coin’s price.

Instead, look at:

  • Market cap → Is there room to grow 5x, 10x, 50x?

  • Token supply → Is it deflationary or inflating like crazy?

  • Narrative fit → Does it have a compelling use case now, not 5 years from now?

  • Dev activity → Is anyone even building?

A $0.001 coin with no utility, no roadmap, and $3B market cap?
You're just buying a hope poster.

But what about coins that did 100x?

Great question.

Yes, some low-price coins exploded — but not because they were cheap.

They pumped because:

  • They had timing (e.g., meme season, AI hype, etc.)

  • They had community and momentum

  • They had tiny market caps and big narratives

The trick isn’t to look for low price.
It’s to find low market cap with high potential energy.

That’s what smart money hunts.

Want a quick test? Try this filter next time you DYOR.

Next time a $0.001 coin catches your eye, run it through this 5-second checklist:

✅ Market cap under $100M?
✅ Actual utility or active devs?
✅ Tokenomics make sense?
✅ Backed by any major VCs or influencers?
✅ Doesn’t rely only on hype?

If it fails 2+ of these… pass.
You’re not early — you’re bait.

Final Words

The idea that cheap = undervalued is one of the oldest traps in crypto.

It works because it feels right.

But you’re not here to feel smart — you’re here to build real wealth.

So next time someone says “It’s only $0.001, imagine when it hits $1…”
Just smile and say:

“Tell me the market cap first.”


Bitcoin Holds Above $100K Despite Short-Term Pressure — Is the Bottom In?

Since breaching $100,000 on May 8, Bitcoin has managed to close every day above this psychological level, holding strong even during temporary deviations like the dip to $98,300 on June 22.

Now trading at $108,815, BTC remains within striking distance of new highs ($111,800+), and the data is building a compelling case that $100K–$110K may be the new structural bottom before the next parabolic move.

Key Metric Flashes: “Accumulation Phase Confirmed”

The Exchange Outflow/ Inflow Ratio (30-day) from CryptoQuant has dropped to 0.9, a level not seen since late 2022, just before Bitcoin’s macro bottom at $15,500.

  • Below 1.0 = net outflows dominate → bullish accumulation behavior

  • Above 1.05 = net inflows dominate → bearish sell pressure

👉 This drop mirrors past cycle pivots where long-term holders absorbed supply and set the stage for extended rallies.

Despite Shorting, Bitcoin Refuses to Break Down

Shorts have aggressively attacked the $100K–$110K range for over 45 days, as shown by Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) data from Binance derivatives. Yet BTC remains resilient, showing that smart money is absorbing sell-side pressure.
