1 Focus on mainstream runes
The characteristic of Rune is that it is a token on BTC, which is issued to institutions.
At present, the organization that has the clear cards and the ability to make things happen on runes is to deploy the "fathers" No. 0-9.
Therefore, the first direction is to focus on the most mainstream runes, the rune series 0-9.
Rune No. 3: DOG is undoubtedly the most powerful BTC meme. Its founder, Leonidas, is an Ordinals developer who is particularly good at marketing. He has brought great popularity to Runestone by airdropping Runestone to some core addresses. He also promised to airdrop the second rune this year in addition to DOG, and the third one when the Runestone project becomes a top MEME. Not only the DOG rune, but also the Runestone is very worthy of attention. A simple calculation shows that DOG has increased 4.53 times from the lowest point, 17 to 94, while the Runestone is 0.01-0.0175, and the BTC standard has increased by 75%, and the U standard has increased by about 1 times. There will be two more airdrops in the future, so there won’t be many more.
Rune No. 5: DOG•DOG•DOG•DOG•DOG. It took 7.6 BTC to deploy, so it should not be a mess. However, the project team is very patient and has not made any movement so far, and it is 100% pre-mined. It is neither the gameplay of pre-rune, nor the gameplay of mining on No. 4, nor the gameplay of letting everyone mint on No. 0 and No. 1. Moreover, it is not a project, but a MEME, so it can only be a future airdrop or IDO or ICO. There are rumors that No. 5 is also deployed by Rune No. 3 Leonidas. After all, there are still 2 runes that have not been released, so they are prepared here in advance. Logically, it is possible to infer, but the aesthetics of the two dogs do not seem to be the same. However, I think Rune No. 1 and Rune No. 5 are the most knowledgeable in naming, very easy to remember, with a lot of repetitions and familiar reduplications, whether it is ZZZZ or 5 DOGs, they are all catchy, easy to remember and spread. If it is to be airdropped, guess who it will be airdropped to, it must be the deep participants of No. 0-9.
Rune No. 8: RISC Rune was distributed with extremely high Gas cost at that time, and the airdrop rune alone cost 6 BTC. And his early RISC NFT was also given to the earliest batch of NFT players on oridinals, so this project is still very powerful, with money and traffic, and the follow-up is actually worth paying attention to.
I personally think RUNES X Rune from Xmonkey community is very good. Indeed, I noticed that the total amount of the project is 210 billion, 100% airdrop, no reservation, 260,000 coin holding addresses, and a market value of 45 million US dollars. It is the rune with the largest number of coin holders and the fifth largest total market value. The transaction volume has been ranked TOP1 on the OKX Rune platform for many consecutive days, and the total transaction volume exceeds 200 BTC. Their community's ability to bring goods is still very strong. The previous BTCs inscription should also be a project they did. It was silent for a long time at the beginning, and it was also very fierce when it took off later, so X Rune should also be worth paying attention to.
2 Low-cost mint runes with a hint
What would the profit be if you played 1,000 copies of each rune?
I did an article analyzing the top 20 runes by casting cost over the past week or so. Here are some interesting insights:
The rune that spent the most gas: MAGA•THE•DONALD•TRUMP spent $1.2 million in mining fees, but ultimately lost $394,000 (-33.26%).
The most profitable rune: BILLION•DOLLAR•CAT cost $120,200 to mint, but achieved a staggering profit of $3.3 million, a yield of 2738.52%.
What if you play 1,000 of each rune? Intuitively, you may think that you will lose money, but in fact you will make a profit! Although 70% of the runes will make you lose money, the remaining 30% will make you have excess returns. Thanks to the recovery of the rune market in the past period of time, 70% of the runes have suffered major losses, but 30% of the runes have made huge profits.
But in summary, we will find that compared to playing some celebrity runes, our early rune minting is more like buying lottery tickets. The cheaper the lottery ticket, the lower the cost, and the greater the chance of obtaining excess returns. At the same time, we should do a good job of screening based on the popularity. BTCtool is a good platform, and it also supports monitoring some popular rune projects on the chain. I hope the official can also DM me in the future. Our VIP3 platform also has good traffic and user resources. We can also talk about whether there is an opportunity to cooperate and bring users more favorable mint prices. It is also recommended to use bot robots such as btcbot, which can quickly mint runes. You can also enjoy good discounts through VIP3. If we have the opportunity to cooperate with BTCtool, we can also do some welfare activities for gold card empowerment. Dear listeners, you can also look forward to it.
3. Create more high-quality accounts
Try to make as many boutique BTC wallets as possible. Airdrops are an important way for a project to quickly increase its popularity and the number of addresses holding coins, because it is similar to web2 brand promotion, which is a large expense, but airdrops are a more web3 way, whether it is the rune stone, pizza rune airdrops, or the HODL project that I have been paying attention to recently. The Confederation National Airdrop, as well as the early Aidoge airdrop, these projects are all using this sunny way to increase their popularity, and we as users have real benefits. So from the user's perspective, boutique accounts still need to be prepared more, and prepare early while the gas on the chain is not particularly outrageous.
It cannot be considered a particularly fomo market at this stage. It can only be said that runes have gradually attracted people's attention due to the recent increase in value, so I think there are still many opportunities. In addition, it is still recommended that everyone go to centralized exchanges to trade runes.
