How to Find the Next Small Cap Gem?

"Small-cap gems" are the holy grail in the cryptocurrency world and are highly sought after for their potential for massive growth.

Small Cap gems are those cryptocurrencies with a relatively small market capitalization but are considered to have massive potential for growth and investment return.

Think of Dogecoin when it was trading at $0.002 and then four months later hit its all-time high of $0.33 (16,400% increase).

It's during the run-up phase of the market where we typically see the greatest growth within the cryptocurrency market, with small-caps often appreciating the most.

Over the next few months, we anticipate the market will move into the run-up phase, with the largest catalyst for this being the approval of Spot Bitcoin ETFs, which is anticipated to take place in early 2024.

In preparation for this shift in the market, I thought now would be a good time to cover how to find the next small-cap gems.

When looking for the next small-cap gem, in my experience it's best to start with finding sectors within the cryptocurrency market that are performing very well. CoinMarketCap has a category page, which shows the trending categories within the cryptocurrency space which offers a great starting position.

Currently, the biggest trending category is BRC-20.

What is the BRC-20 Protocol?

Introduced in March of this year, BRC-20 (Bitcoin Request for Comment 20), named after the Ethereum ERC-20 protocol (Ethereum Request for Comment 20) is basically Bitcoin's version of Ethereums ERC-20 (excluding smart contracts), which allows the use of ordinal inscription.

What is Ordinal Inscription?

Ordinals inscribe a serial number onto 'a satoshi' - the smallest currency unit of bitcoin. This serial number, along with the ordinal data, is inserted into a part of the Bitcoin transaction called the witness signature field, allowing data to be linked to a single satoshi.

An easy way to think of this is Ordinals = NFTs on Bitcoin.

Just like we saw the NFT craze in 2020-2021, we may just be at the beginning of an Ordinal craze, with "animal-named" ordinals already making record growth.

Of course, there are even well-known meme coins with their ordinals too...

There will always be chaff you need to weed through when searching for the next small-cap gem, as we have already seen with NFTs, Meme Coins, and now Ordinals.

But within the ordinal space, there are some solid projects.

One project worth looking into is Multibit (MUBI)

Ordinals - The Next Big Thing in Crypto?

Ordinals are just one of the many sectors within the crypto space that have the potential to perform very well, especially during the run-up phase in 2024. The key is to get into the market before the FOMO hits. If you would like to know what we are buying now, consider becoming a member.
