Any upcoming gems like Celestia?

[Damage_Dealer]

Hey everyone, haven't posted here in a long long time. As I've been looking at the rising crypto markets lately, I started looking for some new promising projects to invest in. And since I am doing my own research now, I've also decided to ask around for opinions here as bitcointalk usually has a great amount of super knowledgeable users.

My whole investing strategy for the previous bull cycles was always pretty dumb simple and straightforward - I buy an alt on an exhcange, hold it for a year or two and sell at OR near the top. I got really lucky in 2017 with buying Verge (XVG) and in 2019 with buying Telcoin (TEL), sold it couple years later for huge gains. And that's pretty much all I did in crypto. Of course I had my fair share of poor decisions too, but they were always offset by big gains made from "lucky" crypto picks.

I've never involved myself in defi/staking/airdrops etc etc. but now as I look at how crypto has evolved, I am trying to broaden my horizons and not just buy and hold a shitcoin hoping it will 100x.

So anyway, at the end of 2023 I've come across a great project called Celestia (TIA). I've been watching its price action for months, researching it and came to the conclusion that it ticks almost all the boxes I'm looking for:

1. It got listed like 4 months ago and already 10x-ed in price
2. As far as I've understood, you can stake it to be eligible for Celestia native airdrops as well as airdrops in upcoming projects like Eigenlayer, Stride, Pryzm, LightLink, Plume etc etc etc, essentially making TIA a golden goose for airdrop staking/farming.

Now, I don't think I'm gonna buy TIA now as it's value has gone through the roof with its current MC over 3B. My question, what new crypto projects would you recommend to buy in the coming months to get something similar to TIA? So basically, a) fresh/new technology, great fundamentals b) market cap not too big (FDV is another story) c) can be used to potentially qualify you for new airdrops, etc?

At this point, I am looking at projects like Starknet, Polyhedra, Blast, Taiko, Eigenlayer, Wormhole, Mode, Drift Protocol, zkSync. Your thoughts? Sorry for the wall of text lol..

All of these aren't bad investments as per see but still, you need to be careful.  I didn't give my full investment on altcoins or new projects, it's very risky and I can't afford it.

TIA is a good project and seems there's a potential to hold for a long term.
Aside from TIA I also have these.

• Arbitrum
• Chainlink

Why not give a large allocation on Bitcoin to less worry?

[Adbitco]

Currently sourcing for a recommendation isn't the right option the best is stick on your portfolio and invest with only amount that is cool for you to lose because I have heard numerous stories about investment due to some people ideas he went on using his school fee ( tuition fee) to invest in crypto with the mindset to recover it in Hundred folds but he instinct was wrong or do i say he reasoning was wrong since he ended wasting the money on crypto. Like I will always you stick to bitcoin or just buy few of top 30 altcoins and hold during bull run instead of jumping from one token to another.

You know, I usually don't invest in Bitcoin due to its market cap size. Too big. I sticked to alts through all these years and it worked well for me. You should just know when to exit lol. Arbitrum is a great project, but I feel I could be late for it just as with TIA, it has gone up already. Chainlink is also a great pick, but it's a top-10 coin, and as I said, I try to go for way smaller caps, under 1B is what I'm looking for.

[CK485]

I rarely invest in new projects. But lately I am accumulating Worldcoins after I saw a post in the local altcoins section shared by my local users. So I started to be interested in researching further and finally I decided to accumulate it from then on. Because the price has not yet increased quite high enough. And his ranking is still not in the top 100 of CMC. So I hope I'm not too late to the party. Because maybe this will also be one of my initial investments in new project altcoins.

[Bazzu]

I had time to invest in TIA but only for the short term. So I have sold it now after making some profits. Because I was also starting to think that Tia might already find it difficult to climb back any further. But the ecosystem that exists in Tia still looks potential. So I will probably wait for a correction and go back in.

I also monitor IMX but I haven't bought it yet because the price has gone up while I was still analyzing. So I'm still looking for something else at the moment. And hopefully someone will share good projects here. Any information, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated.

Well if you have extra fund then theres no harm on staking some tia for a lot will definitely absorbed tia hype on modular for potential airdrop.

My suggestion that currently mid to low valuation is pyth and dym. These two have common with tia in terms of tech and marketcap when tia still on early stage. I am currently doing some of your mentioned projects but not all like some whose got endef like worm, not sure if Im gonna get eliigible with that as Ive only done few trasanctions and they already did the snapshot.

Dont also sleep on some dapp projects that utilize eigenlayer points. Like puffer and renzo, also the good thing is you needed eth for this which unlikely to go down due to lsdfi activity.

This is the kind of answer I was looking for. You're right, I am exactly looking for projects like DYM and PYTH which are not only rising in price but also giving you possibilities to get free money from airdrops/staking /what have you.

2. As far as I've understood, you can stake it to be eligible for Celestia native airdrops as well as airdrops in upcoming projects like Eigenlayer, Stride, Pryzm, LightLink, Plume etc etc etc, essentially making TIA a golden goose for airdrop staking/farming.

That will be interesting, really. On what app or platform can that be staked? I would like to peep into that to see how liable such is.

Now, I don't think I'm gonna buy TIA now as it's value has gone through the roof with its current MC over 3B.

Well, while I wouldn't say your observation is wrong regarding that it has been stretched already in price and may not expand more, I think it's use-case should be factored in too. Look at its ATH of $20+ for a token whose max supply is infinite but with over one billion in supply already. Yet it did over $20+. It can still surpass its current ATH. Celestia is a good project.

My question, what new crypto projects would you recommend to buy in the coming months to get something similar to TIA?

Truth is that we don't know for certain a token that will do what multiples in ROI. We can only speculate and then take the risk. Even those that invested in Celestia didn't expect it would go this far in price. If you want a token to take a look at that can do similar to what TIA has done with staking and earning airdrops, you may want to check out Pyth Network. But first do your research to know about the project before investing in it.

There's a Youtuber called Krypto Cove who makes daily videos on airdrop farming, check out his channel, he talks a lot about Celestia strategies too.

I totally agree with you, but even if TIA makes it to $100 from it's current price (which is totally possible), it's only a 5x, so not that much in my opinion. As I said, the time to get into TIA was at $2-3 price, and I missed the opportunity. So I guess I am better off looking for something new with a similar nature to TIA.

Thanks, I am very well aware of PYTH, it's a great project, but then again, it's already in top-100 on CMC, so I'm debating whether it's going to be a lucrative opportunity. May consider investing in it after all.

Nowadays, Starknet is a highly trending coin. It is a layer 2 solution project that has garnered significant hype. I believe this project operates similarly to the Matic coin project. Just as Celestia provided good profits to its investors and early supporters, Starknet is also expected to yield substantial profits for its users and investors.

Tia is a gem but not everyone was able to benefit from it. The issue is not finding a gem to buy/farm but be able to recognise its worth and actually hold to benefit from it.

I bet 70% of those who got the tia airdrop have long sold at $2 or slightly higher. Only a few can actually consider tia as a gem because they were patient enough to hold.

There are several others that can be consider a gem even though they may not perform exactly as tia, all you need is to search deep and have patience. See the performance of zeta in just few weeks of launch.

[poodle63]

I think Blast and zksync could be great, but the thing is that its not exactly the same L1 project like celestia if im not mistaken its L2 which means just side chain for ethereum, probably couldn't reach that much gain like tia.
but im betting my money big time Eigenlayer though, staked my eth with puffer finance also, i got both points eigenpoint and pufferpoint its gonna be great hitting two bird with one stone.
aside from that i will be waiting for Taiko listing maybe it will turn out like zeta chain where there was no fuss around the project or at least the fuss was minimal but when it got listing it suddenly went up really high even until today it still retain its value probably because the minimal total circulating supply or the fact that the airdrop wasn't that significant that motivates the whale to buy it.

Speaking of popularity, the projects you mentioned are quite familiar and not the same as the GEM term that I understand. But no matter if in the future they will be leading projects in space, I a little bit thinking about L1 being speculative like TIA, and I still feel there is no need for newness because we also have ATOM.

I have also heard about many L1, but the competition and potential of new projects must be very high to be able to gain market share in the space.

If you are looking for a project that's considered new, maybe you can research Dymension.

I don't know if I'm correct, but I think they're the first project to implement "Roll-Apps" which is kind of another version of Dapps. The token started as an airdrop at the price of 4$, and currently sitting at 7$. I got airdrop tokens so I'm just happy that I got some tokens, and I immediately staked it all because I'm thinking that those apps that will be created under Dymension blockchain might have an airdrop to DYM stakers.

Nevertheless, projects like the ones you said are just projects that haven't launched yet so it's hard to know if they will be like Celestia in the future or not. I think just a few hours ago, Starknet already made an article regarding the airdrop requirements. Some might be qualified here, but I'm not. Nevertheless, projects like Eigenlayer, Wormhole, Starknet, zKSync, and Layerzero might be entering the top 100 in terms of market cap anytime soon. We don't know.

quite easy for L1 to get massive market cap honestly, just getting supported by binance labs and coinbase already putting it ahead, from my opinion, the easiest is deploying L1 project, simply because doesn't matter if we are reinventing the wheel people would still flock into it, because many people are hoping they invested into the next ethereum or anything like that.
just wait until other L1 releasing like Taiko and so on,they will definitely become hits the first time they are listed into the exchange.
just like how zeta are climbing up in price instead of getting massive dumping because its l1 and people want to repeat the same history of ethereum again and they surely want to be among the first one
to invest and then make some good profit out it.

I am very well aware of Dymension, thanks. MC too large for me already, I guess.

And yeah, Eigenlayer, Wormhole, Starknet, zKSync, and Layerzero will probably enter not even top-100, but top-30 or 20 with their huge market cap. You really got to have a lot of capital to buy them off an exchange and make significant gains.

As you can see this is from Coingecko categories for module blockchain and Celestia is the rank 1, no doubt, they are the first successful module blockchain right now.
But I believe there are already a lot of projects that are under development and will launch very soon, like Celestia, a modular blockchain.
