So what are Hidden Gems, how to select potential Hidden Gems to make money. Let’s find out together! **I, What are Hidden Gems?** Hidden Gems is a term used to refer to tokens that are currently undervalued with the potential to explode in the future. Hidden gems are not known by many users by the media and small community. Hidden gems are sometimes old tokens that are trending sideways while the whole market is growing, but once it starts to go up, it’s very bullish. **II, Classification of Hidden Gems** Hidden Gems have 5 categories: Hidden Gems ICO/IEO, Hidden Gems low cap, Hidden Gems by Trend, Hidden Gems before the large list of floors, Hidden Gems are community and KOLs shill **1.1** **Hidden Gems IEO** IEO – Initial Exchange Offering, this is a form of issuing tokens on CEX exchanges such as Binance, Houbi, OKX,,…. Projects applying for IEO on the exchange will be carefully censored by a research team with strict criteria depending on the exchanges. Therefore, investing in IEO projects usually has a relatively lower level of risk compared to other types of issuance. IEO is for investors with average capital or more because to participate, it is necessary to hold that exchange’s coin. However, the disadvantage of this type is that investors have to hold the exchange token in the largest amount. and capital needs to be large if not holding exchange tokens. **1.2. Hidden Gems ICO** ICO – Initial Token Offering, this is a form of initial token issuance. The difference between ICO and IEO is that investors can participate from seed, private, public sale rounds with other large funds. However, when investing in private/seed sale, the investment amount in these two rounds is very large. In addition, ICO issuance platforms often do not have strict censorship like IEOs, so the ICO scam project is quite a lot. To invest in ICO, in addition to spending a large amount of capital, it is necessary to have experience in researching projects. project and accept high risk 2. **Hidden Gems lowcap** In these types of Hidden Gems are projects that have issued tokens that may be listed on the exchange but the capitalization is not high, usually ranging from a few tens of millions of dollars to several hundred thousand dollars. These projects have relatively small capitalization. Therefore, when there is cash flow, these projects will increase stronger than the common ground. Projects of this type are suitable in addition to having good research skills, they also need patience because this is a low cap coin that often follows the market’s money flow. 3. **Hidden Gems later became a trend** Hidden Gems later trended are tokens belonging to areas with the potential to become a development trend in the future. Famous trends in the market from 2020 to now include Defi, Play to earn, Move to earn, NFT, Metaverse. Depending on the stage of the market, the keywords will become hot trends, at this time the projects belonging to that trend will fly very strongly. The disadvantage of this type is that investors must have patience, the trend forming and the market responding is not easy and fast, in addition, the trend followers cannot hold for long and it is also very easy to “buy”. top selling bottom” **4. Hidden Gems thanks to the list of big CEX exchanges.** It means you buy a potential project in other small exchanges at a low price and then it is listed on big exchanges like Binance, Coinbase.

KOLs had to research carefully and buy together with the community. However, it is easy to encounter junk and scam projects because there are also many communities that specialize in shilling junk coins that specialize in snooping, On the other hand, reputable communities that share rafts are not 100% winning, it requires you to have patience and reasonable capital allocation when participating. Or sometimes, the hidden gems are not ready to fly, but you have lost your patience and sold it. Easy to meet junk shill, scam. Or sometimes the project is good and the hidden gem is really good, but you meet the fud released by the pig bird and lose patience. **III, Where to Find Hidden Gems** **On Social Networking Sites**: Telegram, Discord, Twitter are popular places for crypto players to exchange knowledge.
