The report below was a detailed analysis we put out calling the start of this current bull market.
While the analysis in this report is irrelevant now, it will give some insight into what sort of analysis you should be looking for (or doing yourself) moving forward.

Crypto Business Models and Fundamentals đ°
The 4 pieces below will help you understand core investing concepts in technology and crypto. Everything from how value flows onchain to how tokenomics works.
Macroeconomics đ
Macro is what controls the liquidity cycles that impact all assets, crypto included.
If you want to time the crypto cycles, you need to understand macro. Iâll warn you, this is NOT an easy task. However, below is a 2-part Masterclass I put together to help you wrap your head around the basics.
PRO members get ongoing updates on the state of macro inside the weekly reports we send out.
Unless you want to become a macro analyst yourself, I suggest you join the hundreds of PRO members that get these insights regularly with a 7-day Free Trial. đ€·

Token Analysis đ”
Whether youâre looking to invest in a token long-term or do so as a short term trade, you need to build a thesis around the token.
That thesis should look at tokenomics, economics, narratives and other factors which might drive price action.
Below is a random list of tokens that we have done in depth analysis on. The reports are older, so donât invest based on these, but use them to understand how to build a thesis and construct deep analysis on a token:
Optimism & Arbitrum â How do L2 governance tokens work? Are they sustainable? Do they have strong fundamentals?
Polygon & Immutable â Learn how Immutable has built a fascinating tokenomic structure and how Polygon aims to use $POL to power a massive network of blockchains.
Explore $POL & $IMX Tokenomics
GMX â One of the only DeFi products with both product market fit and sustainable tokenomics.
RocketPool â How do liquid stake derivative tokens work? Do they have value? Are they sustainable? Should you invest in them?
Maker â One of the most important profitable protocols in crypto! But how does its token reflect that?
Explore $MKR Tokenomics & Fundamentals
Unibot â An application thatâs very appealing to traders because it provides a superior crypto trading experience. Also, Unibot has built a fascinating token economy that holders benefit massively from.
But is it sustainable?
THORChain â One of the most useful applications in crypto right now, allowing for cross-chain swaps. But how do they make money? And do $RUNE holders benefit at all?
