So be careful and think twice before going 100% in! I discovered it earlier today and it was too good for me not to share it!</em></p> <p>&#x200B;</p> <p>The strategy is simple, invest in whatever project CoinMarketCap earns launches a campaign about. I will prove my point by giving you the analysis for EACH COIN, this took me hours to write! </p> <p>&#x200B;</p> <p>The approach is simple:</p> <ol> <li>Find the first mention of their <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/earn/">earn campaign</a> the project using the internet archive tool (i.e. wayback machine) and triangulate that with other mentions online (such as Reddit) to confirm the date, as they do not provide the dates themselves.</li> <li>See the price when the campaign was launched and how it performed since then</li> </ol> <p>&#x200B;</p> <p>We look at each project, first off: </p> <h2>Band Protocol, BAND</h2> <p>If we search the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200301000000*/https://coinmarketcap.com/earn/project/band-protocol">wayback machine for this campaign</a>, we see that the first mention is Aug 12, 2020.</p> <p>&#x200B;</p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/du7s9tmway381.png?width=1371&amp;format=png&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=872626fb6cf23d21f615fdbbb4320094a80071b9">https://preview.redd.it/du7s9tmway381.png?width=1371&amp;format=png&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=872626fb6cf23d21f615fdbbb4320094a80071b9</a></p> <p>We search on google to confirm this date, a simple search as &quot;<em>earn band coinmarketcap</em>&quot; shows this article on Medium </p> <p>&#x200B;</p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/o1gmdk46by381.png?width=1416&amp;format=png&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=0f78efa5b841479412255bd2921ddc618cb018af">https://preview.redd.it/o1gmdk46by381.png?width=1416&amp;format=png&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=0f78efa5b841479412255bd2921ddc618cb018af</a></p> <p>Also the same date!

<p>Even when you expand the results by click at <em>More results</em> at the bottom, we see that the first mention is indeed Aug 12, 2020!</p> <p>Now that we know the date, we check the price back then:</p> <p>it was about $15, and you had 3 moments where you could sell at a profit but overall it is pretty underwhelming as it has only achieve 1.5x, not impressive!</p> <p>&#x200B;</p> <p><a
