If you're looking for some hype, then buying early is a great strategy.
But make sure you’re investing in the right project. Just because there’s hype doesn’t mean it’s legit, if the project turns out to be a scam, the latecomers will be the ones left holding the bag. And if that happens, what you're investing in is basically just another Ponzi scheme.
You're actually right. Buying early is key but only with the right projects so proper DYOR is needed, but I think what OP means is some exchanges(Bitget) gives more opportunities for a better ROI by listing projects early than most. Saw a thread on Twitter last year about Binance listing being a sell signal these days. It was an eye opener analysis though. I'll look for it and revert.. what do you think?.
