Can You Turn $10,000 Into $100,000 With This Crypto Project?

After getting repeatedly kicked in the nuts by DeFi gone wrong, I'm planting my flag on this project for the next bull run.

Three years ago, I was driving home from Las Vegas and played with the idea of investing $50,000 in Cardano. At the time, Cardano was trading for around $0.12-$0.13. I ended up deciding not to do it. Instead, I wrote my first social media post on Reddit about why I was investing in Cardano: https://www.reddit.com/r/cardano/comments/i0q8s3/why_im_investing_in_cardano/. Yes, I bought some ADA tokens, but nowhere near $50K worth.

Had I gone through with the purchase and managed to sell at the last cycle's peak, my $50K would have been worth nearly $1.25 million. I wouldn't have sold at the peak. I never do. But looking back, it's incredible how had I pulled the trigger and timed an exit properly, I could have at least made a 10X on my money and have $500K.

I'm not going to make the same mistake again. The crypto landscape has changed a lot in three years. DeFi has gone from millions in total value locked to billions. Blackrock and other institutions are jumping into the space. The SEC embarrassingly lost to Ripple, and Alex Mashinsky is finally getting charged for the crimes he flagrantly committed.

However, even with all these changes, the upside in this next bull run will eclipse what we saw in the last one. And, while I have steadily been stacking Bitcoin, I want a high alpha play that can make me life-changing money. Unfortunately, I don't have $50K to invest this time. But I do have $10K. And I'm planting my flag on Houdiniswap ($POOF), a project I discovered and wrote about in March, Why I'm Buying This $1 Crypto for $0.12.

I'm increasing my allocation in POOF, and, like my prescient Cardano post, I will share ten reasons why I think it can outperform in the next couple of years and five concerns about the project. Behind BTC and ETH, this is my highest conviction play, and it may be something worth exploring for yourself.

10 Reasons I'm Buying and holding more POOF

  1. Houdiniswap provides a service applicable to every investor of every size. It allows investors to transfer crypto assets anonymously in-chain and across different chains. This provides users with privacy and security.

  2. Houdiniswap is simple and doesn't require users to connect their wallets to any application or platform. I've used Houdiniswap several times, and it's worked seamlessly. I have had delays a couple of times (one hour instead of ten minutes), and their customer service is responsive and professional.

  3. The valuation, revenue growth, and increasing trading volume indicate the future for Houdiniswap may be extremely bright. The team shares a Swap Report weekly, updating investors on the platform's metrics. Here's the most recent Swap Report.

  • Swap $ volume is growing= more revenue for the platform

  • Swap trade volume is increasing= more users for the platform

  • Swap Revenue was nearly $23K in one week! The circulating market cap is around $9M. This equates to $1 million in annual revenue, and the bull market isn't even starting.

4. The team is English-speaking and credible. No "sers" in the Telegram. No incorrect grammar on the whitepaper. This team created relationships with dozens of centralized exchanges. Every week they have an investor Twitter Space, and they communicate where the project is heading.

5. The POOF token is an Ethereum-based token. Ethereum has the most liquidity of any DeFi chain by a large margin. There are only 1,039 POOF investors today. Imagine what the token price would do if this increases to 5,000 holders or more.

6. A new marketing campaign is launching with Mario Nawfal, a social media influencer with 922K Twitter followers: https://twitter.com/MarioNawfal. Oh yeah, he's also the world's #1 Twitter Space host. I wrote about the value and importance of this partnership in Why Did This Sub-$10 Million Crypto Pop 35% in a Red Market?

7. Splinterlands, a blockchain game with over 250,000 daily active users, will incorporate Houdiniswap into its platform.

8. The platform uses its profits to buy back the POOF token on the open market. Since February, the Houdiniswap buyback wallet https://etherscan.io/address/hotwallet.buybacks.locked.houdiniswap.eth has accumulated 2.3 million POOF representing nearly 5% of the circulating supply.

The buybacks provide constant buy-side pressure on the POOF token and reduce the floating supply. The community will choose what the tokens in the buyback wallet will be used for.

9. It took the team over one year to develop the Houdiniswap platform, and, as stated earlier, they created invaluable relationships within the crypto industry. This gives Houdiniswap a gigantic moat where a competitor can't just come in and copy code and change the name.

10. It's a sub-$10 million (circulating market cap) crypto asset. PEPE reached a $2 billion peak valuation while serving no utility. Meanwhile, Houdiniswap is a project that every crypto user can find utility in and benefit from. Another thing, you can stake it and earn up to a 20% APR in POOF tokens. I'm already doing this :)

5 Concerns about the project

  1. The privacy space is competitive. Another project could build a better mousetrap. Houdiniswap is one of the easiest and most pleasant crypto user experiences, but it doesn't mean a competitor couldn't offer something that works faster or with lower fees.

  2. Demand for privacy and security may be limited. As stated in buying reason #10, PEPE hit a $2 billion market cap. There is plenty of dumb money in crypto, and they may not understand the value of privacy and security. Just because something makes a lot of sense doesn't mean it will always be successful.

  3. Government regulations could hamper Monero ($XMR). Houdiniswap is reliant on the privacy coin, Monero. This is an area of weakness because if something happens to Monero, Houdiniswap must find an alternative quickly. Luckily, Monero is one of the oldest crypto assets and is extremely decentralized since it's a mining coin.

  4. Revenue and growth could plateau. While I don't see a high likelihood of this happening, the POOF token has only been live since the end of January. Can we safely assume the explosive growth trajectory will continue?

  5. Typical risks associated with all crypto projects: what happens if a valuable team member leaves? Is the platform exploitable? I'm not worried about a rug, but I (unfortunately) bought a Multichain token, and things happen in crypto.

Why I'm Not Falling For My Headfake

Aside from the weird tongue/teeth thing, this is how I feel when reflecting on my missed Cardano opportunity. I'm not going to repeat the same mistake with Houdiniswap. Could it 10X? I believe so. Can it 20X? It's possible because that would put its circulating market cap at $180M. Could it do even more? Anything can happen in a crypto bull market.

Lately, the only sure thing in crypto is that the space is ridden with scum and scammers. Luckily, the Houdiniswap team is on the opposite side of the spectrum by building a successful project supporting the tenets of crypto: sovereignty, privacy, and honesty.

Additionally, if the overall crypto market cap increases, this should bode extremely well for Houdiniswap because trade sizes can organically increase. This will increase revenues and buybacks. There are many ways I can see this investment going right.

Key Takeaways

I'm going to leave you with one last graph. It shows the POOF token compared with Ethereum over the past 90 days. You will notice that POOF has outperformed ETH by over 200%!

This says a lot because the altcoin market has been hot garbage over the past 90 days. If you don't believe me, check your portfolio (minus XRP).

I'm not certain I will look back in three years with an extra six digits in my portfolio, but I'm confident this is one of my best opportunities for getting there. And when considering the risk versus the potential reward, I am highly optimistic about POOF and Houdiniswap.

I am invested and staked in this project. I have high convictions and look forward to watching the Houdiniswap platform and community benefit from the next bull run.
