Crypto Prompts for Research, Risk, and Strategy

20 copy-paste prompts

20 ChatGPT prompts for coin research, portfolio analysis, DeFi strategies, risk management, tax compliance, and the on-chain thinking that separates informed investors from gamblers.

Research + Due Diligence

4 prompts

Token Deep-Dive Research

1/20

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.

Deep-dives a crypto token with tokenomics, team, traction, and red flags.

💡

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

2/20

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.

Summarizes whitepapers with legitimacy verdict.

💡

Pro tip: Whitepapers = marketing documents written to attract money. Treat claims as hypotheses, not facts. Unique tech can still fail at execution.

Competitor Analysis

3/20

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.

Compares crypto projects with scenario analysis.

💡

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

4/20

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.

Analyzes crypto narratives with lifecycle and timing.

💡

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 prompts

Crypto Portfolio Construction

5/20

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.

Builds crypto portfolio with risk-based allocation.

💡

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

6/20

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.

Reviews crypto portfolios for concentration, correlation, and rebalancing.

💡

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

7/20

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.

Builds DCA plans with schedule, execution, and adjustment rules.

💡

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

8/20

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.

Builds tiered profit-taking plans with targets and rebalancing.

💡

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 prompts

DeFi Protocol Evaluation

9/20

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.

Evaluates DeFi protocols for fundamentals and risks.

💡

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

10/20

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.

Builds yield farming strategies across risk buckets.

💡

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

11/20

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.

Interprets on-chain metrics in market context.

💡

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 prompts

Crypto Security Audit

12/20

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.

Audits crypto security with single-point-of-failure analysis.

💡

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

13/20

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.

Checks projects against rug pull and scam indicators.

💡

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

14/20

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.

Builds crypto tax strategies across cost basis, harvesting, and holding.

💡

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

15/20

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).

Builds drawdown response plans with emotional and tactical steps.

💡

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Depends on age + risk tolerance. Young aggressive: 5-15%. Moderate: 1-5%. Conservative: 0-2%. Over 20% = concentration risk. Under 1% = won't move needle. Between = reasonable exposure for most.
Conservative: 70% BTC, 20% ETH, 10% alts. Moderate: 50/30/20. Aggressive: 40/30/30. BTC = digital gold (lowest risk). ETH = tech play. Alts = high variance speculation. Scale by tolerance.
Self-custody for long-term holdings (hardware wallet). Exchange for active trading / small amounts. FTX taught: not your keys, not your coins. Rule of thumb: if over 6 months holding, self-custody.
BTC/ETH have 10+ year track records as assets. Both survived multiple 80%+ drawdowns + recovered. Volatility ≠ uninvestable; it means requires conviction + long timeline. 99% of altcoins won't survive next cycle.
Defaults: anon teams = high risk, unrealistic APY = scam, "guaranteed returns" = scam, unsolicited DMs = 100% scam, urgency pressure = scam, no audit = high risk. If in doubt, skip. Good opportunities re-occur.
