Want to catch early opportunities in memecoins? Here are a few tricks you need to know.



When playing with microcap coins, the biggest fear is being a step behind—by the time you see the news, others have already taken their profits. So what should you do?

First, let's talk about how to spot opportunities: chain scanning and Twitter scanning are basic skills. When a hot trend emerges, many projects with the same name will pop up, so you need to know how to filter them. Also, keep an eye on those sharp-sensed KOLs; it's not too late to follow after they make a move.

If you miss the leader, don’t panic. The second mover often provides more opportunities for retail investors. When the market heats up, the tokens that follow the upward trend are actually easier to time.

The most crucial trick: learn to track smart wallets. The on-chain moves of those top whales are more reliable than any news. Watch what they buy and when they exit—your win rate will improve significantly.

These strategies aren't complicated, but you need practice. On-chain data doesn’t lie; once you’re familiar with the tools, your reaction speed will naturally increase.

The second runner-up is where the real money-making opportunities are; the leaders have already been eaten up by the big players. Since I can't keep up with the speed of the news, I've given up and just copy the smart money's trades. Scanning posts takes too much time; it's still more reliable to honestly look at on-chain data. It's the same old rhetoric— in the end, it's us retail investors who end up losing. No matter how many tools you have or how fast you react, it’s useless; ultimately, it all comes down to information asymmetry.

Dragon 2 is what retail investors really go for, that's so true. Following smart money is the real way; don't foolishly wait for KOLs to tweet. People have been playing this way for a long time, but now you just can't outcompete those bots.

That No.2 Dragon strategy is indeed prone to failure; smart wallet tracking is the real way to go.

The second-in-command is truly the best; I can't afford even a taste of what the top leader offers.

Dragon No. 2 is the real sniping point; the leader has already been eaten up by the whales. I've tried this trick with the smart wallet, and it's really nice—win rate does go up. By the way, everyone is using chain-scanning tools now. Is there still any advantage? Starting to play memecoins again—be careful not to get rekt this time. Being a step behind is real; by the time you see the news on Twitter, it's already too late. You have to rely on the data.

Dragon No. 2 is actually the cash machine for retail investors, that's spot on.

The second-in-command is actually easier to follow; let those big players play with the leader.

Dragon No. 2 really is the retail investors' last salvation, but the thing is, you have to be quick. Tracking wallets is indeed a ruthless move, but you need good tools for it, otherwise you’ll still miss out. Scanning Twitter and chains sounds simple, but when you actually do it, it really burns brain cells. Early opportunities, to be honest, still come down to reaction speed and willingness to take risks.

Dragon #2 is actually the real sniping point; the leader has already been locked up by big players. On-chain wallets really don't lie, but scanning Twitter and the chain is brilliant—you have to make it a habit. Instead of chasing hot trends, it's better to track smart money. When they pull out, that's when you should run. Reacting half a second faster really can get you an extra bite, but most people are still too slow. There are so many projects with the same name. If you pick the wrong one, it's gg—you really need to double-check.

You can't lose if you follow smart money, the only worry is not being able to react quickly enough.
