Almost every day fans ask: which alts can be bought? Today I will explain the selection criteria for alts all at once. Next time you decide to buy an altcoin, first check whether the altcoin you want to buy meets these selection criteria:

1. Choosing an old coin that has gone through at least one round of cycle washing is correct 99% of the time (I put this as the first point because it goes against the common sense of most people. If you want to speculate on a new narrative this round, go to the primary market, don't look for it in the secondary exchanges. The probability of finding alpha among new coins in the secondary market is even lower than casually picking a shady altcoin in the primary market and going all in.
2. Choose coins that have income, whether it's protocol income or service income. Being able to sustain the team with its own cash flow means it doesn't need to sell off tokens from time to time to cash out. Ideally, if its income can be linked to the coin price, that's the best, whether through buybacks or dividends (this is why Aave is awesome).
3. Reject air coins and choose coins that have business and also experience natural growth. The subjective strategy of the secondary institutions that can survive this round actually has a consensus; everyone is already fed up with air coins that only tell stories.
4. Do not touch any Meme coins that are not born from the top tier, including all Meme coins on the TON chain.
5. New alts with VC chip prices more than 5 times that of retail investors should not be touched at all; at least wait until the price drops to that level before considering, especially in this round of VC, everyone is actually in the mindset of "breaking even would be nice."
6. Listen less to others' calls, and before buying a coin, use the product yourself and ask whether you will continue to use it. Check the user base and the actual business situation, look at the FDV and compare it with the valuation from the previous cycle to determine whether the current price is expensive or not, rather than judging based on the price chart that has dropped 80%. Control your hands and only buy what you understand and believe in. If you can do these points, you will already be able to outperform at least 90% of people.
