How to Evaluate a Thesis
Step 1: Understand the "Why"
Before looking at metrics, read the thesis carefully:
Does the reasoning make sense?
Is there a clear catalyst?
What's the risk/reward?
A good thesis should help you understand the opportunity, not just tell you to buy.
Step 2: Check the Author's Track Record
Click on the author's profile:
Past calls: Are they consistently profitable?
Win rate: What percentage of calls work out?
Style: Do they call memes? DeFi? AI tokens?
A caller with a 70% win rate and 3X average return is more reliable than someone with one lucky 100X.
Step 3: Evaluate the Timing
Just posted (Live MC ≈ Called MC): You're early
Already up 2-3X: The thesis is working, but some upside captured
Up 10X+: Might be late, higher risk of pullback
Step 4: Assess Risk
Consider:
Market cap: Lower MC = higher volatility
Liquidity: Can you get out when you want to?
Conviction level: Even the caller might not be fully confident
Your portfolio: How much are you willing to risk?
Red Flags to Watch For
Vague thesis: "This is going to moon" without reasoning
No track record: First-time poster with a bold call
Underwater and silent: Call is down and author hasn't addressed it
Pump already happened: 20X gains with no thesis update
Shilling, not analysis: Reads like an ad, not research
Green Flags
Clear reasoning: Specific catalysts and bull case
Honest risk assessment: Acknowledges what could go wrong
Consistent track record: Author has history of good calls
Active discussion: Author engages with comments
Timely updates: Author posts follow-ups as thesis plays out
