Launchpads — Bull Market Money Printers

The right launchpads will be your golden tickets to life changing wealth, and potential 1000X returns.

In the last bull cycle, launchpads were printing absurd returns relatively frequently. It was not uncommon to see 50x, 100x and even 1000X returns on your investment in the right launchpad deals.

Many of these launchpads are being ignored entirely in the latest mini-bull run as the focus has shifted to other narratives including AI, Asian coins, Perpetual DEX’s and more. But the smart money is accumulating those launchpads now while the coins are still relatively cheap and significantly undervalued with the intent of securing access to some of the hottest deals when the time is right.

A Brief Launchpad History

For those of you who are not familiar, Launchpads are effectively crowdfunding platforms that allow anyone (with some geographic restrictions) to invest in crypto Private and Seed level deals BEFORE they hit the open markets.

When I first began dipping my toes in the Launchpad realm back in 2020, they were very new and only a few existed, and even those were very primative and onerous to use. They quickly gained huge traction, often devolving into first come first serve (FCFS) gas wars and races to get into the sales as fast as possible.

Now they are a dime a dozen, and finding the right ones is key. This article will endeavor to present some options that I am accumulating in the expectation that the sales will provide returns that pay back the cost of the memberships many times over.

Launchpad Strategy:

Depending on your warchest, your strategy may differ and need some adjustments. The idea for most, however, is to get an entry level access tier in your launchpads of choice, leave some free cash for upcoming sales, and recycle profits 50/50 into new sales and the launchpad token itself. The idea here is to continue to climb the Launchpad tier ladder, while continuing to generate increasing income from successful sales.

At some point as the bull run progresses to it’s FOMO stages (I’m not expecting the real bull run until 2024, ending in late 2025 ish), you will want to modify you reinvestment allocation to cash and new sales, rather than the launchpad token, in order to begin booking profits.

Launchpads to Accumulate:

This is by no means financial advice, and I highly recommend you research these Altcoins in depth on your own. The following is a list of launchpads that I have accumulated, and continue to accumulate, in preparation for the next bull run.

Keep in mind, Launchpads are a high risk high reward venture, and you should only enter into them if you can stomach the risk.

Launchpad Altcoin #1: Trustswap ($SWAP) TrustSwap2

This is perhaps my launchpad of choice. The beauty of this project is that it has a real crypto as a service business that generates yield, which is rewarded back to stakers, while also allowing you access to sales.

• $23M M/C, 100M/100M tokens circulating/total,
• $SWAP at $0.30, ATH $5.00
• Tiers start at 4,000 SWAP SCORE, which can be achieve by locking 400 SWAP ($120) for 5 years. You earn yield on it (approx 20% APY), and a guaranteed allocation ($108 allocation on the last sale)
• Their last sale did a 32X within a couple days of launch ($CSIX). A $108 allocation would have netted over $3,200. Yes, there is a vesting schedule and so this is theoretical until fully realized. You can imagine the returns with a larger allocation.
• One of the first launchpads to enter the scene in mid 2020, with multiple huge successes including a 70x, 100X, 150X and many more.

• Trustswap also owns TheCryptoApp, with over 4M downloads, and soon to integrate DEX swaps and SWAP as the exclusive utility token.
• Allocations are guaranteed, and generally give 24 hours to contribute. Low stress, high returns.
• Upcoming highly anticipated sale for PodFast, and AI platform that condenses content into short summary clips/videos.

Launchpad Altcoin #2: Duck Dao ($DDIM) DuckDao

This is also one of the OG launchpads that hit the scene in early 2020. It has 5 tiers of membership, and gets access to some fairly high profile deals. This one is not guaranteed allocations in the lower tiers, but does give fairly high allocations in the mid and higher tiers.

• $3M M/C, fully circulating, new tokenomics in the works
• $DDIM at $2.31, ATH $103.
• Tiers are 10 DDIM, 200 DDIM, 2,500 DDIM and 10,000 DDIM. Allocations are FCFS, but generally easily secured unless in the midst of the bullrun, in which case you want to have upgraded to the Gentlemen’s Club (2,500 DDIM) for large and easily secured allocations.
• Duck Dao operates a private/seed sale division, as well as an IDO division.
• Sales are automated, which makes things simple and more easily tracked.
• Contributions are on BSC, which makes them cheaper and easier to contribute on smaller deals.
• New tokenomics model should be beneficial to current holders.
• Previous hits included Blocktopia (1,400x at ATH), Base (1,000X at ATH), Poolz and Paid (50X at ATH), and many more.

Launchpad Altcoin #3: XBORG (X Borg)

This is a phenomenal GameFi project that is better run than any other project I have invested in. The team here is in a league of it’s own, and for disclosure I do sit on their content council.

This is a newer project, having been hosting sales for only a few months.

• No Token Yet, Prometheus NFTs provide access to the sales, and will also yield an $XBorg token airdrop in the near future.
• Current NFT floor price is 0.51ETH
• Guaranteed allocations typically in the $200–300 per NFT range, with several days to complete your contribution.
• Generally SEED sales, providing early access and best token prices.
• Soon to provide access to Initial Team Offerings (ITO’s), which are a revolutionary concept in Esports 3.0. These will allow you to participate in Esports Team funding rounds.
• Sales are GameFi oriented, backed by Swissborg.
• Huge partnership with Brave browser as the sponsor of their first Esports Tournament sponsor.
• Upcoming sale for their own XBorg token.

Launchpad Altcoin #4: BSCPad BSCpad

This is a project which is a bit more capital intensive to get into. Their ability to market is unmatched, and their sales are typically heavily underpriced and do very well at launch.

Caveat here is that they often launch “branches’ of their own launchpad for other chains, such as ETHPad, ADAPad, and more … this effectively fractures and silos some of the value. That said, the sales continue to do quite well for the most part. This one has taken a bit of a run lately, and I would wait for a pullback before buying.

• $29M M/C, 79M/175M circulating vs total supply
• BSCPad at $0.37, ATH $7.45
• Lower tiers require social participation, higher tiers are expensive but guaranteed allocation.
• Investment allocations are typically low, but this is countered by often huge returns.
• Multiple 50X & 100X sales in the previous bull run.
• Most sales are IDOs, rather than private or seed rounds.

Conclusion

The above Launchpads are my Altcoins of choice, particularly given that I prefer good teams, solid marketing and a history of success in the previous bull run. There are however many other options out there, and a dive into the launchpad market is well worth the time.

The advantage of investing in Launchpads vs specific industry altcoins is that they continue to offer outsized returns from exclusive deals that only membership holders can get access to . The real Alpha, however, is buying these memberships before they start to cost in the $100,000 + range, as they did with projects like Duck Dao. When we do finally hit the next bull run, and we will, these projects will hand out returns you would not believe, and which could launch your portfolio into six and seven figure status on a single sale. The key is taking profits, spreading the risk on multiple sales, and not risking more than you can affor to lose.

Good luck out there, and see you on the next one.
