People ask this after a token gets attention on social media, and the question assumes someone can see the next one coming.
Can you predict the next crypto?
No method names the next cryptocurrency to blow up. A small token can move on a rumor or one large buyer, and calling a coin the next Bitcoin is marketing.
How do you screen a new token?
New tokens are announced on launchpads, exchanges and project social channels. The initial coin offerings of 2017 were an early version of the same pattern.
How do meme coins differ from major coins?
Meme coins and microcaps usually trade with far less liquidity than major cryptocurrencies and publish far less information. Bitcoin and Ether trade on many venues and have long public histories.
What US rules apply to token sales?
US securities laws can apply to a token sale and to paid promotions of a token. The SEC applies the Howey test to a transaction, and paid promoters may have to disclose who paid them.
