Spotted a microcap token early when it was just sitting at 5k marketcap. The thing never gained traction though, stayed quiet even with potential behind it.
Honestly, the market's oversaturated now. Everyone's hunting alphas these days, but there's only so much attention to go around. The narrative power used to move prices hard, but nowadays it's different. Too many projects chasing the same liquidity pools, too many competing stories vying for investor focus.
What actually moves markets today isn't always the best story—it's capital concentration, timing, and frankly, luck. The dynamics have shifted. Narrative alone won't pump your bags anymore.

Discovered a 5k scam coin early on... but it still sank. Looking back, the story wasn't compelling enough.

No matter how good the story is, it can't withstand the dump of the market. Now, it's all about what the capital says.

Early on, I found a coin with a 5k market cap, and it just didn't move at all... Now I realize that the storytelling approach has long been outdated.

I've heard many stories of early bottom-fishing... The key is to catch that wave of mainstream narrative, otherwise all potential is wasted.

Missing out on a 5k MC, it shows that none of us are truly chosen ones.
