Research + Due Diligence
4 promptsToken Deep-Dive Research
1/15✨ What it does
ChatGPT researches [token name/ticker] covering the problem and market, tokenomics, team, competitors, traction, red flags, plus a bull case, bear case, and verdict. Fill the ticker, then verify supply, audits, and lawsuits yourself before you treat the verdict as a decision.
Research [token name/ticker]. Include: problem solved + market size, tokenomics (supply, distribution, vesting schedules, inflation), team background + track record, competitors + moat, traction (TVL, users, revenue, partnerships), red flags (rugs, hacks, lawsuits, insider selling). Conclude: bull case, bear case, verdict.
Pro tip: Most tokens = vaporware with decent websites. Tokenomics + real users + revenue filter 95% of garbage. If you can't articulate problem solved in one sentence, skip.
Whitepaper Summary
2/15✨ What it does
ChatGPT summarizes a whitepaper from [paste or link]: problem, solution, tech, tokenomics, team, roadmap, team-stated risks, hype vs realism, and a legitimacy verdict. Paste the paper, then open the real PDF and check any claim that sounds too clean.
Summarize this whitepaper: [paste or link]. Extract: problem statement, proposed solution, technical approach (consensus, scalability, privacy), tokenomics, team, roadmap, risks highlighted by team, realistic vs. hyped claims, verdict on legitimacy.
Pro tip: Whitepapers = marketing documents written to attract money. Treat claims as hypotheses, not facts. Unique tech can still fail at execution.
Competitor Analysis
3/15✨ What it does
ChatGPT compares [Token A] vs [Token B] in [category - L1s, DeFi protocols, oracles, etc] on tech, TVL, moat, tokenomics, team, ecosystem, price history, and win / share / both-lose scenarios. Fill both tokens and the category, then decide with your own risk rules, not the winner line.
Compare [Token A] vs [Token B] in [category — L1s, DeFi protocols, oracles, etc]. Include: tech differentiation, TVL/users comparison, moat analysis, tokenomics differences, team/funding, ecosystem growth, price performance 1yr/3yr, winner scenario, sharing scenario, both-lose scenario.
Pro tip: Category winners often take 80%+ of value. Early-stage = multiple can coexist. Mature markets = winner-take-most. Know which stage you're investing in.
Narrative Analysis
4/15✨ What it does
ChatGPT analyzes a narrative such as [AI tokens, RWAs, restaking, gaming, etc]: why it is emerging, top 5 projects, likely winners and losers, realistic size, lifespan, entry risk, and exit signals. Name the narrative, then treat timing calls as opinion, not a clock.
Analyze crypto narrative: [AI tokens, RWAs, restaking, gaming, etc]. Include: why narrative emerging, top 5 projects in narrative, likely winners vs losers, realistic market size, narrative lifespan (hype, growth, maturity), entry timing risk, exit signals.
Pro tip: Narratives drive 70% of crypto returns. First-movers into narrative (early believers) capture most. Late movers buy tops. Narrative rotation = skill.

Portfolio + Allocation
4 promptsCrypto Portfolio Construction
5/15✨ What it does
ChatGPT builds a portfolio from [amount], [low/mid/high] risk, and a [years] horizon, with BTC/ETH, L1 alts, DeFi blue chips, small-cap ranges, rebalancing, and a max position size. Fill the three blanks, then size positions you can actually hold through a drawdown.
Build crypto portfolio from scratch. Budget: [amount]. Risk tolerance: [low/mid/high]. Time horizon: [years]. Include: % allocation to BTC/ETH (60-80% for conservative), L1 alts (10-20%), DeFi blue chips (5-15%), smaller caps (0-10% speculative). Rebalancing schedule, max single position size.
Pro tip: Most crypto portfolios fail by overweighting smaller caps. 80% BTC/ETH + 20% selective alts outperforms shotgun approach long-term. Concentration ≠ diversification.
Portfolio Review
6/15✨ What it does
ChatGPT reviews holdings [list] for concentration, narrative pile-up, alt correlation, missing sectors, hero-stock risk, rebalancing, and a tax-aware sell order. Paste the list, then rebalance only after you check current prices and tax lots.
Review my crypto portfolio. Holdings: [list]. Include: concentration risk analysis, narrative overexposure, correlation issues (many alts move together), missing sectors, hero-stock risks, rebalancing recommendations, tax-optimized selling order.
Pro tip: Crypto correlations spike in bear markets — your 20-coin "diversified" portfolio drops 90% together. True diversification includes stables + uncorrelated non-crypto assets.
DCA (Dollar-Cost Average) Plan
7/15✨ What it does
ChatGPT builds a DCA plan for monthly [amount], duration [months/years], and target [describe], including weekly vs monthly, fees, auto-buy, a 50%+ drawdown bump, and stop rules. Fill the blanks, then set the auto-buy on your exchange yourself.
Build DCA plan. Monthly budget: [amount]. Duration: [months/years]. Target allocation: [describe]. Include: weekly vs monthly schedule, exchange selection, fee minimization, auto-buy setup, when to increase DCA (50%+ drawdown), stopping triggers, long-term expected outcome.
Pro tip: DCA removes timing anxiety. Weekly small buys beat monthly large buys for dollar-cost efficiency. Consistent DCA beats 90% of active traders over multi-year cycles.
Profit-Taking Strategy
8/15✨ What it does
ChatGPT builds a tiered profit-taking plan from [list with cost basis] toward [goals - house, retirement, lifestyle], with sell rungs, rebalance lines, emergency cash, never-sell cores, and tax notes. Paste holdings and goals, then place only the sell orders you are willing to live with.
Build profit-taking strategy. Current holdings: [list with cost basis]. Targets: [goals — house, retirement, lifestyle]. Include: tiered sell orders (20% at 2x, 30% at 5x, etc), rebalancing thresholds, emergency cash need, never-sell core positions, tax considerations.
Pro tip: Most crypto holders never sell until bear market. Tiered selling at targets locks in gains + maintains upside. "I'll sell at top" = you won't. System > willpower.
DeFi + On-Chain
3 promptsDeFi Protocol Evaluation
9/15✨ What it does
ChatGPT evaluates DeFi protocol [name] on TVL trend, fees, token utility vs speculation, audits, governance, team allocation, exploit and depeg risk, and whether the APY can last. Name the protocol, then read the latest audit yourself before you deposit.
Evaluate DeFi protocol: [name]. Include: TVL trend, revenue + fees, token utility (vs speculation), smart contract audit history, governance structure, team + team token allocation, risks (exploits, depegs, impermanent loss), realistic APY sustainability.
Pro tip: DeFi APY: high = risky or unsustainable. Sustainable yield = 3-8% on blue chips. 50%+ APY = ponzinomics, rug risk, or temporary. Ask: where does yield come from?
Yield Farming Strategy
10/15✨ What it does
ChatGPT builds a yield-farm plan for [amount] at risk level [describe], across stables, blue-chip LPs, and exotic farms, with allocation, monitoring, and exits. Fill capital and risk, then start in the lowest-risk bucket and write your exit before you click deposit.
Build yield farming strategy. Capital: [amount]. Risk tolerance: [describe]. Include: stablecoin strategies (lower risk, 3-8%), blue-chip LPs (medium risk, impermanent loss), exotic farms (high risk, token farming), capital allocation per bucket, monitoring requirements, exit signals.
Pro tip: Yield farming = active management, not passive. If not checking daily, stick to set-and-forget stables. Exotic farms require 5+ hours/week monitoring to avoid exploits/rugs.
On-Chain Analytics Interpretation
11/15✨ What it does
ChatGPT interprets on-chain metric [describe - exchange flows, whale movements, active addresses] in [bull/bear/sideways] context: what it signals, history, contrarian vs confirming, actions, and noise vs signal. Name the metric and the market regime, then wait for a second source before you trade on it.
Interpret on-chain data. Metric: [describe — exchange flows, whale movements, active addresses]. Context: [bull/bear/sideways]. Include: what metric signals, historical parallels, contrarian vs confirming signal, action implications, noise vs signal filtering.
Pro tip: On-chain = evidence, not prophecy. Exchange outflows + stable coins + whale accumulation = bullish alignment. Single metric alone = noise. Layered signals = signal.

Risk + Tax + Security
4 promptsCrypto Security Audit
12/15✨ What it does
ChatGPT audits your setup [hardware wallet, hot wallet, exchange holdings, seed storage] for single-point failures, seed security, 2FA, phishing, tx checks, and beneficiary access. Describe the current setup, then fix the single-point failure first.
Audit my crypto security setup. Current: [hardware wallet, hot wallet, exchange holdings, seed storage]. Include: single-point failures, seed phrase security (metal storage, geographic separation), 2FA enhancement, phishing resistance, transaction verification workflow, beneficiary access plan.
Pro tip: Top risks: seed exposure, SIM swap, malicious transaction approval. Hardware wallet + metal seed + no phone 2FA = 99% of retail attacks stopped. Most self-custody done poorly.
Rug Pull / Scam Checker
13/15✨ What it does
ChatGPT checks [token/project] for rug and scam flags: mint and honeypot functions, locked liquidity, doxxed team, audit, Twitter age, Discord quality, copied site copy, roadmap, and fantasy APY. Name the project, then confirm contract and liquidity locks on-chain yourself.
Analyze [token/project] for red flags. Check: token contract (mint function, transfer fees, honeypot), liquidity locked?, team doxxed?, code audit?, Twitter account age, Discord activity quality, website copy originality, roadmap realistic?, unrealistic APY promises.
Pro tip: New tokens: 90%+ rug or fail. Red flags: anon teams with unrealistic promises, short token age, insider-heavy distribution, copy-paste whitepapers. Default no; exceptions win.
Crypto Tax Strategy
14/15✨ What it does
ChatGPT drafts a general crypto tax plan (not legal advice) from [summary] of this year's transactions: FIFO/LIFO/HIFO, harvesting, long vs short term, what to realize, and holding into 2027. Paste the summary, then have a tax pro review before you file.
Build crypto tax strategy (general — not legal advice). Transactions this year: [summary]. Include: cost basis tracking methods (FIFO vs LIFO vs HIFO), tax-loss harvesting opportunities, long-term vs short-term split, unrealized positions to realize strategically, holding period planning for 2027.
Pro tip: Crypto tax = every swap, every bridge, every LP = taxable event. Track with Koinly/CoinTracker from day 1. Retroactive reconstruction = painful + expensive.
Drawdown Response Plan
15/15✨ What it does
ChatGPT writes a response plan after a [X%] drop: do not check hourly, no panic selling, rebalance and DCA triggers, harvesting, which coins to cut or hold, and BTC drawdown history. Fill the percent, then follow the no-panic steps before you touch the sell button.
My portfolio dropped [X%]. Response plan. Include: emotional steps (don't check hourly, no panic selling), rebalancing opportunity analysis, DCA accelerator trigger, tax-loss harvesting, position evaluation (which coins to cut, which to hold), historical context (BTC had X% drawdowns Y times).
Pro tip: Bear market = accumulation phase. BTC history: 80%+ drawdowns every cycle; higher highs each cycle. Panic sellers at bottom = 90% of retail losses. Systematic buyers = generational wealth.
