I’ve experienced 20 30–50x returns, and some even saw the next potential. Hunting for hidden gems is a thin line between walking away with a life-changing amount of money and losing your entire investment. This is how I made most of my money with crypto in 2017: a $2,000 investment 45x’d up to $90,000. Then, in 2021, a $5,000 investment ballooned to over $300,000.
Here’s the thing: all billion-dollar blockchain projects started here. I’ve seen XRP and Cardano at a penny, and even Bitcoin itself was considered a hidden gem once upon a time. However, finding these projects early is the real challenge. Being at the start of the next crypto bull run, the time to find these hidden gems is growing smaller by the day.
Even though this is my favorite area of crypto, there’s a high probability that, regardless of who you listen to — myself included — the money invested here may result in nothing, or at best, a loss. What if we could increase the odds of that not happening? What if we could peek into the portfolios of crypto millionaires and billionaires who invested in XRP at less than a penny or Ethereum at five bucks? Most won’t come out and tell you exactly what they’re investing in, but there are clues left on the blockchain that will tell that story for us.
Today, I’ll be sharing seven small-cap altcoins in my portfolio that I found using this method. I’ll also share the price predictions and exit strategy for each project.
Some of the altcoins in this sector have done nothing for me so far, while others have almost tripled since I first bought them. I don’t always provide up-to-date articles on this, but if you want to stay current with my research and what I’m buying, I have a free group called the Side Hustle Society; check it out. While you’re down there, hit the like button — I’d really appreciate it.
Now, let’s define my idea of a hidden gem. My definition, when investing in crypto projects, is anything with a market cap less…
