*Editor’s note: As a well-known overseas encryption KOL, Ansem’s influence not only comes from his ability to capture early alpha information, but also from his strong communication skills and affinity, Odaily Planet Daily will explore with you in today’s article sharing to understand how he captured longest alpha information including SOL, BONK, and WIF, and started his own encryption journey. *

Proven track record: CATCH SOL, BONK, WIF

Looking back at Ansem’s past operations, he grasped 3 opportunities for large phenomenal coins:

170x SOL

On January 1, 2021, before SOL was still unknown to the long, Ansem started SOL Build a Position for $1.5 and shared it publicly on social media platforms. At that time, he was referring to the SOL/BTC exchange ratio.

Eleven months later, on November 26, 2021, the price of SOL broke through a new high (ATH) and reached a staggering $260, a pump of around 170 times.

80 TIMES THE BONK

On October 30, 2023, Ansem posted a tweet on social media platforms shouting: “bonk great coin”, at that time, as a Memecoin, the price of BONK was only $0.0000005618, and then BONK big pump, causing a lot of attention in the market.

Four months later, in March 2024, with the Memecoin craze coming again, the price of BONK once exceeded $0.000045, pumping more than 80 times.

520x WIF

On December 12, 2023, in response to a tweet from another encryption KOL @blockgraze asking “who is the next SHIB”, Ansem replied in the comment section that only WIF has the potential to SHIB. He also posted a tweet on December 16, 2023, saying, “WIF = SHIB” with a Shiba Inu internet memes with a beanie, and then, in just a few months, the price of WIF big pump from $0.09 to an all-time high of $4.85, a pump of more than 520 times.

Below, let’s learn how he did these amazing things.

From penniless to well-known encryption: Ansem’s growth history

We can learn a thing or two about Ansem’s past from his past public tweets.

How to start your encryption journey?

Back in October 2017, Ansem published a Thread post detailing how he learned Crypto Assets trading and gave his learning materials as a reference.

In 2021, he quit his job and started his full-time trading career. At that time, he also published a post about alt trading and investment operations based on time nodes, telling people how to judge the time and point to buy altcoins, and how to focus only on holding Bitcoin at the right time and not distracting others.

In an interview last December, Ansem also gave a brief overview of his trading strategy, which will be mentioned later. Interestingly, in this video interview, Ansem also gives a brief overview of his past background, according to himself, he first studied computer science at Georgia Tech and later became a software engineer. At that time, his mentor was a Crypto Assets fanatic, which led to the story of his subsequent Crypto Assets trading journey.

How to use Twitter as your own encryption toolbox?

Ansem believes that as a gathering place for encryption information, Twitter is crucial for those in the encryption industry, and for specific usage methods, he mainly mentioned the following considerations:

Always-on: Learn by watching and following the top traders on Twitter. Make good use of tools: Use lists and tools to manage your feed, such as using TweetDeck to browse information efficiently. Expand your sources: Listen to podcast sharing as long as possible to learn new knowledge and information.

Ansem’s trading style sharing

Ansem divides his portfolio into 2 parts:

• Some are long-term holdings (about 70% of the total Position)
• The other part is more speculative short-term trading (about 30% of the total Position)

In his opinion, the main trait of a successful trader is the ability to accept mistakes and remain humble, and the ability to control emotions during market fluctuations.

How to make investment decisions?

His sharing in this regard is somewhat clichéd, presumably: take the time to research a project and determine the main reason for holding its Token. When assessing the potential success of a project, it is important to consider its long-term investment direction and technological advancements.

In addition, he also mentioned a few precautions in a previous video interview:

• It is most important to record transactions and follow the trading rules set in advance.
• Don’t break the rules you set yourself in trading.
• You can understand your emotions and market conditions by recording transactions.

What are some common trading mistakes?

Excessive heavy position and full position are common mistakes in investing that can lead to significant losses if the forecast is not accurate.

Without proper risk management, trading with margin trading and holding large alt positions can lead to huge losses.

It is worth mentioning that Ansem mentioned in previous interviews that some traders make the obvious mistake of trading only according to their own views and ideas, rather than trading according to market conditions; holding longest different types of assets can be more sustainable in the long term.

In addition, Ansem believes that TA (Technical Analysis) is very important for traders, more important than FA (Fundamental Analysis); combining FA (Fundamental Analysis) and TA (Technical Analysis) allows for better trading.

Next hundredfold opportunity: Bitcoin rune ecology

On April 16th, Ansem tweeted again that the Bitcoin next 10 0x opp is runes on Bitcoin, and 95% of encryption on Twitter may not be paying attention to this at all. “Compare the volume of Solana memecoins with the current unisat volume and consider what the wealth effect would be if Bitcoin users had their own native alt to buy,” he said. At present, this tweet has reached an astonishing nearly 800,000 views, and it has also sparked heated discussions among longest overseas encryption people.

As for whether his judgment can be said again, on this Bitcoin Halving, Casey’s rune project is about to be released, so let time tell us the answer. **
