Adrian Pape's Linkedin Analytics

I didn’t come to crypto for the gains. What fascinated me from the very beginning was the idea of money without intermediaries. A system anyone could use which is open, decentralized, and fair. But like most newcomers, I got swept up in the hype. I invested in vaporware projects, held bags of tokens that went to zero, and learned the hard way that “number go up” isn’t a strategy. My aha moment came when I realized something simple: Quality projects with real fundamentals, strong adoption curves, and sustainable tokenomics are the only niche that consistently makes sense. Hype fades. Fundamentals last. That realization shaped my philosophy: • Invest in quality first, avoid noise. • Be active when it matters most, because the market rewards those who secure gains, not those who round-trip them. • Use rules and data, not emotions, to decide when to enter and when to exit. Over the past 5+ years, I’ve gone deep into token analysis, DeFi strategies, and on-chain signals. I’ve built a repeatable system that helps me — and now my readers — trade smarter, avoid bagholding, and actually compound capital across cycles. Without a framework, most investors lose. 👉 That’s why I write Adrian’s DeFi Alpha Newsletter — fundamentally driven, no fluff, and always actionable. 👉 Join me here → https://adriandefi.substack.com/
