Searching for Diamonds in the Rough

The cryptocurrency market is a trillion-dollar industry with literally tens of thousands of cryptocurrencies traded daily. Every day new projects enter the market and as these projects grow and develop, I am always on the lookout for the next *diamond in the rough*.

These low-cap gems are generally found trading under [micro](https://altcoininvestor.com/market-capitalization/) and [nano market capitalization](https://altcoininvestor.com/market-capitalization/) ($1M-$100M) and have yet to mature into their full potential.
