There's a question that always comes up in every bull market: Where are the thousandfold coins?

The simple and straightforward answer is—yes, they exist, but not quite as you imagine.

In each wave of the market, some people turn their fortunes around with a single coin, but at the same time, many others get cut to shreds by the words "thousand times." So the question becomes: Do thousandfold coins really exist in the crypto market? The answer is yes, but they are extremely rare, and the patterns are actually traceable.

Let's first talk about the first trap—thousandfold coins are never "news coins." Truly capable of rising a thousand times rarely get wildly promoted right after launch, nor do they have a bunch of KOLs shouting buy-in simultaneously, and they certainly don't have groups constantly saying "It's about to take off." By the time you hear about them, you've usually missed 90% of the gains. That's the cruel part.

Looking at the history of those genuine thousandfold coins—Bitcoin, Ethereum, SOL, Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and even recent ones like PEPE—they all share some common secrets.

The first secret: Very early stage, extremely obscure. No one discussed them back then, liquidity was scarce, and even the interfaces were poorly made. Sounds unappealing, right? But this is precisely where the true believers are filtered out.

The second secret: Simple narratives that can spread. Bitcoin claims to be decentralized money, Ethereum boasts smart contracts, Meme coins ferment through culture and consensus—all simple stories, but good stories to tell. Complex narratives tend to die quickly.

The third secret: Hitting the big cycles. When new public chains explode, new narratives (AI, Meme, RWA, L2, etc.) emerge, liquidity expands—thousandfold coins are never contrarian monsters; they are always the trendsetters riding the wave.

So if you're looking now, focus only on these three areas.

First, early-stage native assets of new public chains. When they just go live, the ecosystem is just starting, and users are few. For example, SOL in its early days, ecosystem tokens, certain DEXs, or foundational layer protocols.

Second, very early Meme coins, but not chasing after peaks. Those with a market cap under $5 million, organic community growth, and no VC footprints.

Third, overlooked infrastructure—wallets, data layers, middleware, foundational protocols. In the late bull market, money will definitely flow back into these areas.

Why do most people never encounter thousandfold coins? It's not because they're not smart enough, but because of psychological issues. Lack of patience, inability to withstand pullbacks, wanting to sell after a 5x rise, fearing a 50% drop—that's the real killer. Essentially, thousandfold gains are a psychological battle; you're not losing because of choosing the wrong coin, but because you can't hold on.

Final honest truth: When you find a true thousandfold coin, you'll doubt yourself when buying. If you think "This coin is stable, everyone is talking about it," then it probably only has a few times of upside left.
