Think about this scenario: what if you caught a layer-1 blockchain token in its infancy, say below 300k market cap? Those early entry points can be absolute game-changers for patient investors. The spread between ground-floor prices and where projects eventually land is exactly why people dig into launch phases. Of course, it's high-risk territory—but that's where the asymmetric bets live.

Wow, 300k MC to bottom out Layer 1? How lucky do you have to be for that?

ngl this whole "ground floor" narrative is exactly how the dark forest works... devs + insiders already know the playbook before retail even sees the launch. where's the transparency on token allocation? who's getting sandwiched at entry? that's the real game-changer nobody talks about.

L1 with a 300k market cap? Forget it, I've already dug out 3 from on-chain data, but each one is worse than the last... The risk factor is off the charts.

I missed all my early coins, now I'm just a bagholder at high prices.

That's correct, but the problem is how to distinguish which one is real gold and silver and which one is just air.

L1 with a market cap of 300k? The distribution chart of chips? I haven't seen it. Usually, projects of this size have a significantly higher risk of failure than success. What is your win rate model?

According to research, early L1 token return curves indeed exhibit significant asymmetry, but there is a key issue—projects with a market cap below 300k have survival rates often below 15%, and the risks are seriously underestimated.
