My procedure in case I want to buy coins before listing:
1. Analyze trends. Based on the analysis of the news, we understand that it can be successful.
2. We output the necessary search keys, and we are already looking for them. Any serious project will inevitably have at least one mention on the web. The beauty is that SEO is not fast, and you can often get to sales at ridiculous prices.
On a practical example
We see news about the TOR hack, with a data leak. We see news about data leaks to the FBI from WhatsApp, Viber, Signal.
We draw conclusions: in the future, the market will need a product that will technically exclude the possibility of transferring keys and information in general. In our example, these are peer-to-peer messengers.
Starting to search for: p2p messenger +with coins
Search results: Utopia Ecosystem, Briar, FireChat.
We look at whether they have coins and an offer on the market, evaluate the organization, make a purchase decision or move on.
The beauty of the method is that it allows you to take something really worthwhile in the future, and not just any garbage.
Also, based on the analysis of trends in meme coins, you can take famous characters and look for coins with their mention. The method is also quite a working one.
