Pick-of-the-Month Reports

The Pick of the Month reports are deep dives on promising early stage token projects. These are projects that the Crypto Briefing research team has identified as having strong long-term fundamentals and lean on trending narratives which could result in market-beating returns in the near-term.

How it works

The Crypto Briefing investing methodology uses principles from the venture capital industry to construct a winning portfolio. We expect one or two big wins to carry the portfolio in any given 24-month timespan. The remainder will either have middling performance or underperform the market. The target is a 10/50/40 percent split between winners, middling performers, and underperformers.

The key principles to constructing such a portfolio are consistency and breadth. As an example, say one has $12,000 to invest over the course of the year. Regardless of market conditions, the goal is to invest $1,000 per month into each month’s Pick of the Month.

It is not uncommon for many of these recommendations to lose 50% or more of their value, nor is it rare for an exceptional token to gain 2000% or more over the course of a few months.

To illustrate the strategy with the target split, assume 5 of these $1,000 investments break even with an ROI ranging from a gain of 150% to a loss of 50%. Then 6 of these investments would lose 80% of their value. While a single investment returns 2000%. Even though many of these investments were losers, that single winner creates a portfolio with overall gains of 218%.
To put that into dollar figures, investing $12,000 over the course of the year would yield roughly $26,200 in this hypothetical example.

Furthermore, what makes the crypto market unique from the equities market is that there is no upper limit to how much that single big winner could yield in the span of a few years. In the past, the Crypto Briefing research team has found projects that have increased by more than 50-times the initial purchase price. Finding these winning projects is a matter of discipline and consistency.

When and where

These reports are released on the second Tuesday of every month, Pick of the Month reports can be found by clicking on “Reports” in the top right navigation here. You will also receive an email notification as soon as it is published.

We will provide a “Buy up to Price” in the “Quick Facts” section (first page) of the report. This price, in our opinion, is the highest price per coin that would still make the project an attractive investment.

Depending on market conditions, there are times where we think it makes sense to take profits from winning investments. You can find recent trade alerts here.

At the bottom of every Pick of the Month report you will find a “How to Buy” section. This will give you step-by-step instructions on how to acquire the coin discussed in the report.

Alphaverse

The Alphaverse newsletter contains investing tactics which are more skill and time intensive. Although these tactics require more work than long-term buy-and-hold investing, they are usually more effective at generating high returns with lower capital requirements.

Remember, when it comes to crypto investing difficulty isn’t necessarily bad. More difficult investment ideas have fewer investors competing for them, meaning you can reap more of the rewards.

These investment ideas span many different tactics, including airdrop hunting, watching the on-chain activity of market-movers, free and low-cost NFT mints, and farming high-yield contracts.

If any of these terms sound intimidating to you, don’t worry it's a lot simpler than it sounds and each report will explain how it works.

Alphaverse is also one of the fastest ways to become a crypto expert. Hone your tactical investing skills by interacting with bots, smart contracts, and on-chain data by following the comprehensive tutorials in each Alphaverse newsletter. These are crucial skills to becoming a profitable participant in the crypto market over the long run.

When and where

Alphaverse is usually released every first and third Thursday of the month by email. To see previous editions of Alphaverse, go to the “Latest” tab in your account here.

The ideas in Alphaverse are time-sensitive, so go check out this week’s edition now.

Follow the Whale

FTW is the latest addition to Sapphire, where our team identifies and tracks influential wallets to see where the smart money is flowing on-chain.

Whales have the potential to move markets and have a knack for spotting early token opportunities, including memecoins and other high-risk high-potential projects. We put together a database of the most influential whale wallets so we can share these insights with you when we see interesting movements.

Keep in mind that many of these coins are hyper-risky short-term plays. Many of these coins have zero fundamental value. When it comes to memecoins, it is important to remember that most never make it past a market capitalization of $50 million before they crash.

Remember, these are NOT investment recommendations and are simply for informational purposes. We'll share a few of these weekly and see what you think of this new feature.

When and where

We will share a few whale sightings on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month via email.

Radar

Since our Pick-of-the-Month report only comes out once a month, many of our more active subscribers have requested for more investment ideas throughout the month as we come across them. This was the inspiration behind Radar.

How it works

Radar is a comprehensive list of projects that we find unique and interesting but do not yet have high conviction in their fundamentals. As soon as we discover something new and exciting, we immediately add it to Radar⁠. They are often ultra high risk, super early stage coins that have not been thoroughly vetted by our research team, so you will need to do your own research and tread carefully.

It is worth noting, however, that over time as more data and information become available, some of these Radar additions have eventually gone on to become Pick-of-the-Month candidates.

These coins are highly risky and there is a significant chance you lose most or all of your investment. However, if you perform your own due diligence you will likely be some of the earliest investors in these projects, giving you the potential for incredible returns. Proceed with caution.

When and where

All new projects are posted to the Radar section here. You can also navigate to this section by logging into your Sapphire account and clicking on “Radar” in the top right navigation menu.

As soon as a new project is added you will also get an email notification.

Portfolio Digest

We released our first Pick-of-the-Month report on July 9th 2019. Month after month over the last 4 years we have issued over 70 picks in total by now and our portfolio list is starting to become difficult to keep up with. This is especially true for those who have been with us from the start.

Crypto moves fast and new projects can overtake incumbent leaders in a matter of weeks. So it's important to keep track of the latest developments of each project in our portfolio and regularly assess if anything has changed in our conviction.

Our research team keeps their pulse on all of the projects in our portfolio and gives regular monthly updates to let you know if recent developments are bullish, bearish, or neutral. Is it time to cut bait or stay the course.

When and where

The portfolio digest email along with a video recap is released on the 4th Friday of each month.
