So here's a curated list of useful crypto research tools for two types of long-term hodlers: fundamental and quantitative analyzers.</p> <h1>Set it and forget it hodlers</h1> <p>As a <em>set it and forget it hodler</em> your best friend is fundamental research and crypto news. You also want to avoid the 'noise' of the daily market to make it easier to hold. </p> <p>​</p> <p><strong>Messari</strong></p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/o3ugjki9lvb71.png?width=2556&format=png&auto=webp&s=2801663de7532701b308473fb1d1c33f86a7f60a">Bitcoin research page in Messari</a></p> <p><a href="https://messari.io/">Messari</a> is the king of crypto research tools. While it may look a bit intimidating at first, it makes crypto research incredibly easy once you're able to navigate the site. They have a crypto profile that shows you things like type (currency, privacy coin, smart-contract platform, etc.), consensus algorithm, inception, and a clear and concise description. They also have links to communities, white papers, codes, and research articles. </p> <p>It's not something you have to check all the time. It's particularly useful whenever you have to do some deep-dive research. There is a paid version but the free version suffices.</p> <p>​</p> <p><strong>Kraken Daily Hash Newsletter</strong></p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/qz6erl44nvb71.png?width=1206&format=png&auto=webp&s=138324bf68393cdf0b4e184cd3b2bc9ae144fa81">Sample of Kraken newsletter, the Daily Hash.</a></p> <p>Again, as a long-term hodler, you want to focus on the big news instead of what X billionaire has to say about crypto. You're talking regulations, milestones, and adoption. Kraken has a daily newsletter (Mondays-Fridays), the Daily Hash, that aggregates the most relevant crypto headlines. They also have research reports about market recaps and other big events once a month or so. </p> <p>You can subscribe to them <a href="https://www.kraken.com/en-us/subscribe/intelligence">here</a> or visit their website. For this section, only the Daily Hash and the Research reports are recommended. I also subscribe to the OTC report but that's for more technical discussions that may or may not be suited for long-term hodling. </p> <h1>Data-oriented Investors</h1> <p>Despite crypto being an incredibly young market, there's a lot to love about crypto market data. In my opinion, the data-oriented aspect of crypto is underrated. We have tons of models and theories backed by a sufficient number of years, that make the cryptoverse a unique investing environment. For example, there's always been one long-term bull and bear market per halvening and each of them having less ROI and longer runs than the prior cycle, this follows the <em>diminishing returns</em> and <em>lengthening cycles theory</em>, respectively. So here's where you can find all the important indicators.</p> <p>​</p> <p><strong>Altcoin Season Index</strong> </p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/bfz70qcdrvb71.png?width=2200&format=png&auto=webp&s=c6563a8bacc36016d67cdd91985249e92e3d2d41">Altcoin Index Chart indicating Alt Season and Bitcoin Season</a></p> <p>One of the most important concepts to understand in the current market environment is <em>Bitcoin Dominance</em> and how this relates to the price action of alts. In summary, when Bitcoin falls, alts fall faster; when Bitcoin rises, alts rise faster. Because of this, lots of people like to move to Bitoin, a crypto 'safe haven' during bear markets and times of uncertainty, aka <em>Bitcoin Season</em>, and move into other coins during bull markets, aka <em>Altcoin Season</em>.</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmlpcW5zUW5GZ0g2dnFiRnZsQUdMN3VDQVQ0QXxBQ3Jtc0trZEZXOXU3bzhZT1p6RHVUTnRvWk8yR09mQlFyTUoxcEJPMGxkQ2NpTWN1UzVSZkdIV0p6U01MYzRmT1dNbG5SUHdxRjhReFN3cTA5WmowQ1JvZVJhQzV0VnlCRTNWWlNtb3ZrbkRiZkJWR3ZscUxDTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blockchaincenter.net%2Faltcoin-season-index%2F">The Altcoin Season Index</a> shows you when it is an optimal time to invest in altcoins and when you might want to be in BTC.
