What I think Crypto Projects Can Learn From TradFi

We're preparing, not shillin' and chillin'

I'm tired of seeing listed projects attempt to pump their tokens or hold their prices through staking. So my hedge funds background brought me back to the fundamentals of TradFi stock analysis.

"There's gotta be a better way" - Mr Wonderful

Here's what I found from Zacks.com

1. Technical Analysis

2. P/E Ratio

3. Earnings Per Share

4. PEG Ratio

5. Book Value

6. Return on Equity

7. Analyst Recommendations

I think that most projects are run by good builders and operators. But many are lost after their TGE.

Because most project teams just copy their predecessors:

1. TGE

2. Introducing staking

3. Pray that token doesn't tank

4. Core team cashes out via OTC

Summarising the 7 ways in my first post above, I think listed projects have to be hyper-focused on 2 things after TGE:

1. Earnings

2. Book Value

Without either of these figures, there is no fundamental reason why a token should be priced at $X.

There is more liquidity coming into the crypto space, and most of it is coming from TradFi.

If projects want to attract this liquidity, they have to focus on how TradeFi traders/investors analyse their positions.

They do not understand #LFG or #WAGMI.

Only P/E and BV.

Imagine if a project's Earnings and/or Book Value (both is best) is clearly defined... Teams no longer have to:

• Manage shit-posts in TG groups (read: wen moon ser?)

• Worry about price & liquidity

• Do 100 different things to make it look like there is progress

Taking away the bad stress, let's the team focus on more positive objectives:

• Building and shipping products

• Striking more meaningful partnerships

• Growing and nurturing employees

• Improve revenue numbers

• Make longer-term investment decisions

Staking seems to be the EOL for most listed projects. But that shouldn't be the main driver for token prices. Certainly not @SaladVentures (when we list).

I have taken a contrarian view from the start of Salad when I see something that could be done better.

And in preparation for our TGE, we are determined to be value-driven to give the ultimate upside (sustainably) to our token holders.
