TehMoonWalker AMA Recap
CryptoDiffer team
Hello, everyone!😁
We are glad to meet here:
tehMoonwalkeR (@tehMoonwalkeR)
tehMoonwalkeR
Wow thanks for having me !
CryptoDiffer team
Please introduce yourself to our community! Let us know how did you enter crypto and when did it happen?
tehMoonwalkeR
Hey guys thanks for hosting me here, im deeply honored.
im known as tehMoonwalkeR.
I started to look into crypto late 2016, just browsing boards like bitcointalk.org
I remember the feeling to this day, it was like I found a whole new world, I didn’t understand much of it, but I wanted to learn all about it.
initially, I never thought this would become my profession & life, I just wanted to know what these people were talking about, a bunch of random new words I didn’t understand at that time.
2017 I started to get a basic understanding and also started my first trades.
the twitter presence came naturally, I just shared my experiences and picks right from the start. and grew and it evolved a lot.
CryptoDiffer team
What was your first altcoin? Do you regret this purchase now?
tehMoonwalkeR
My first altcoin was ETH at about 10$ so no I don’t regret it haha
but I made many many mistakes after that, and no I don’t regret any of them, they helped me to learn & grow
Though it was quite painful at times I must say haha
CryptoDiffer team
You are famous for your MoonRanking, can you tell us more about it?
tehMoonwalkeR
well, crypto is a vast space of various projects:
there are open source tech/community-driven projects
fun projects
scams ofc
and business generating companies
for a beginner it’s pretty hard to differentiate between them, my vision is to break down complicated aspects of crypto so everyone can understand it.
I want to protect investors from scams and break down my research, to make crypto more approachable.
For this I someday came up with the idea of my #moonranking
it is very hard to evaluate projects, market cap and volume are insufficient stats. so im still working on different parameters on how to make it more detailed.
but the basics are :
Silver is the lowest and the basic rank of mine, it essentially means “on my radar”. While silver ranks already made it to a smaller selection, it still is a very early and risky pick.
Gold picks are already pretty excellent, I only accept either very good performing test nets or at least a usable beta product.
The Team has to have a proven track record over many achieved milestones and token metrics, ideas, business use cases, and even better partners are needed.
Now, what makes a Diamond pick?
Unique Blockchain
To achieve the highest rating a project must be an ecosystem itself, meaning not an issued token on a different chain, but the chain itself.
Why? simply cause there is no higher value than enabling ecosystems for others or define a custom build ecosystem for yourself.
Business partners and use case
While there are many interesting science projects and use cases, to achieve Diamond a project needs huge business partners, major funding, and multiple dapps or products.
Solid ecosystem and tokenmetrics
while it is near impossible to achieve the above without having a superb ecosystem and tokenmetrics its still very very important.
CryptoDiffer team
Not everybody knows that you wrote two very interesting guides on Medium explaining your views on Market Caps and Trading Strategies. Can you do a concise summary on each article for our audience?
Link to guides for those who are interested:
https://medium.com/@tehMoonwalker/what-about-market-caps-though-a9194c6aa9cb
https://medium.com/@tehMoonwalker/how-to-take-profit-a-deep-dive-into-my-trading-strategies-44a00a0f6d7f
tehMoonwalkeR
I wrote those guides because they answer the 2 most frequent questions I receive.
when to take a profit?
why I hunt low caps and what does low cap even mean?
profit-taking is a hard topic, everyone needs to understand it, but mostly you get stoned out of the “hodl groups” if you start talking about it.
you need to understand that every move you make in crypto is a business decision and not a sign of loyalty or friendship.
u put your money on the line, so take care of it.
there are 4 different market cap stages where a project can be in
microcap (100–900k)
low-cap (1m-15m)
midcap (15m-50m)
high-cap (50m+)
each has different benefits and risks, its important to understand them.
also, there are sadly still many beginners who only look about token price and therefore think coins like xrp, doge or Tron are “cheap”
CryptoDiffer team
Bio of your channel says: “longterm crypto investing”
But a lot of people perceive altcoins as short term speculative assets and buy them only for short-term speculation, what are your thoughts about this? How frequently do you buy for long-term (2-3 years eg)?
tehMoonwalkeR
it depends on various factors, 2-3 years might be extreme, but holding 6 months is for some already longterm.
there is nothing more powerful than the market, a lesson I’ve learned in 2017.
so selling pre Bullrun or holding through the bear market can get you rekt.
you always need to adapt, you must know, crypto is the technology of tomorrow, so it will need some time to spread and become efficient and stable enough to power mainstream.
the best strategy is a mix of both, in my profit-taking guide I also explained how to buy and sell “slow”.
meaning taking average down buys and selling on the way up. both in batches
I recommend splitting your bag into a moonbag for the future, and a playbag for swing trades.
CryptoDiffer team
Who are your favorite crypto influencers/personalities and why?
tehMoonwalkeR
https://twitter.com/SecretsOfCrypto showed me the potential of low-cap altcoins, a solid bag in a low cap held through the right times can change your life.
when I started https://twitter.com/crypto_rand was all I ever wanted to be. legendary, living the dream, endless followers, making bank. I kept my head down and worked hard. now I get praise from this legend himself.
he showed me to run crypto as a business, being professional, staying out of drama & hate, and making gains.
but i respect each and everyone doing the work, staying out of drama, its not as easy as it looks, many started accounts in the 2017 bullrun, very few kept at it.
CryptoDiffer team
What are your advices for a newbie entering crypto?
tehMoonwalkeR
Understand the tech. work hard, it will be worth it, learn that shit, read WPs, try to understand the tech, talk to the teams, ask them questions.
DYOR literally don’t follow ANYONE blindly, everyone can mess up. But also don’t become ignorant to advise, try to absorb all the info you can and then make your own plan. I always think about knowledge like walking to a buffet, you will probably browse around see what you like, maybe try something new. but you won’t go to the food you don’t like and waste ur energy on it, just ignore the things that don’t impress you.
Never give into your emotions, every buy or sell should be a conscious choice and not fear or greed (hardest to master)
apply a positive mindset, trust me it works. if you believe in a positive future, the future will seek you out 🙂
CryptoDiffer team
Thank you for your answers! Awesome stuff! Let`s give community members time to ask questions:)
Cryptodiffer Community
1 What conditions do you take into consideration when picking gems ?
2 Recently you were announced as one of top 5 in the global influencer nominations, Tell us why you deserve to win this, why should we vote for you ?
tehMoonwalkeR
1. looking constantly for the diamond in the rough, the skill is to find a project very cheap with very little flaws
2. sadly i didnt win, but i think i put alot of time and energy to bring projects and investors closer together and i love crypto
Cryptodiffer Community
1) As a newbie just coming to crypto with the goal of making profit, what would you tell me to do, especially between trading and hodling?
2) For many people that wish to invest but have little capital, what can you advise such persons to do? Should such person supplement with margin trading?
tehMoonwalkeR
1. first step should always be learning, as said, try to give it all, understand the basics, then start to buy projects
2. problem most people have, dont spend money on useless things like cars or jewelry (i dont own any of it btw)
invest all u can, but dont put urself in a bad spot. for the start i would suggest swing trading to increase ur net worth
Cryptodiffer Community
Q. Of all the Blockchain use cases, which one do you consider as the best use case? Also, can we know your take on the Decentralized Finance movement, and the usage of dApps? Thank you!
tehMoonwalkeR
very nice Q
i think the genius of succesful projects is to find a niche they can fill out, in 2017 everyone tried to be the next ETH now everyone tries to be the next LINK
dont try to replace existing ecosystems, find a spot that no one thought about like $orn does with liquidity for example
#defi is def a hype, be careful out there, ETH is not scalable, so im probably most bulliush on projects expanding ETH capabilities without trying to replace them like $ALEPH or $STAKE
Cryptodiffer Community
According to you which major milestones are necessary in any crypto project for survive in crypto market?
tehMoonwalkeR
revenue
no useless expendures
use case
smart team
dedication
Cryptodiffer Community
As a crypto OG with vast experience in Fundamental analysis, What do you think are the biggest obstacles for mainstream adoption of crypto and what are the possible ways of addressing/overcoming them?
tehMoonwalkeR
i think the main issue is perception, in 2017 we thought crypto is gonna replace fiat
it wont happen that way, blockchain will linger in the back, but power everything
ask normies if they no how the web works, ofc they dont, that doesnt mean they dont use it
adoption is imo inevitable, i see no issues

The recent twitter hacks of major crypto influencers feels like 2020 is becoming one big dejavu of 2017(wannacry exploits). Does that mean we should expect a mega bull run in the coming months?
What do you think would fuel the 2020 bull run?

Today, DeFi is a new trend and DeFi projects are booming development. However, how do you rate the rapid development of Defi projects? Is there any potential risk?
tehMoonwalkeR
alot of risk
decentral means no central authority, means basically anyone can do whatever he wants
i think we need to be very careful with it, even though it is the clear future

put in the work, dont expect richness, just be happy if you can sustain urself, but remember if you want freedom or slavery
Cryptodiffer Community
How did You survive from the bearish market?. And how you control your emotion when loss in trading?
tehMoonwalkeR
bear market is great for swing trading, find ranges where a coin is jumping around and constantly buy/sell
i suggest to master your fears, ask urself, whats the worst that can happen? mostly its not so bad or irational fear
Cryptodiffer Community

tehMoonwalkeR
look at volume, when a coin starts from 0 and now has high volume, let it fly abit, dont fomo into anything
also be careful when shillers dont talk about fundamentals
Cryptodiffer Community
We see, Top traders so-called whales are able to fluctuate the price of any token when they want. Do you think its good for the market & new traders?
tehMoonwalkeR
no its not good, but we cant do much about it, thats why i love lowcaps, whales havent arrived yet, mostly
Cryptodiffer Community
What does tehMoonwalkeR think about the power of Community supporters?
How does tehMoonwalkeR support projects in reaching larger audiences?
tehMoonwalkeR
its all about community isnt it?
but it can also be a harsh place, community can elevate a person or a project, but it can also bring it down.
i think most important is communication , AMAs and active chats

What do you have to say about the Twitter hack of yesterday, Do you think this will have any negative effect on the price Bitcoin ?

Mainstream media spent months trying to criminalize #bitcoin
Few months later the biggest #bullrun in history was launched
Cryptodiffer Community
Can You talk about the trading Journey so that newbies like us can get some type of Knowledge/motivation? How did you become so successful?
What advice would you give to someone who wants to learn to trade? Or which educational material they should read first?
tehMoonwalkeR
i failed in many things in my life, i think the main part in crypto for me was i never aimed to make money
no everyone wants money, no one wants to learn & evolve
learn+evolve stay positive, money will come trust me
Cryptodiffer Community
What are the Current major issues in Businesses in crypto market . So any project should be trying to solve these issues?
tehMoonwalkeR
issue is that some are science projects
some community
some businesses
projects need to be open & transparent about what they are, and not try to be everything
Cryptodiffer Community
Can you share your risk management? I have some doubts, because sometimes they said risk management is about the funds, and some said it’s about leverage.
