The bull is back. That’s what you are hearing everywhere including here on our channel. Everything is up from 6 months ago. Right? WRONG. Many projects are up from bear market lows.
Yet many GREAT projects are still 90% or MORE off of their all-time highs from the last bull market. We are looking at 3 great crypto gems today and going bargain-hunting. Are you looking for tokens available at a discount? Then come join us!
1) PARSIQ (PRQ)
Imagine this. A GREAT Web3 infrastructure project. A leader in the industry. What it provides only a few other projects do. The #1 in the industry is a great project. One of our favorites. But the super competitive #2 project in this sector is ONE HUNDRED TIMES cheaper by market value.
Do you know who I am talking about? I am talking about PARSIQ being 100x cheaper right now than The Graph. Again, we love both projects. But knowing this, which sounds like a better value to you?
We love infrastructure projects. The part of Web3 infrastructure that PARSIQ does is the indexing and querying of blockchain data. They do it through APIs, which let apps talk to each other. With more flexibility than others in this sector, if you need:
- Regular standard API calls between 2 apps, then the Tsunami API does that.
- More customized APIs, than PARSIQ’s Data Lakes service does that.
There’s so much flexibility and customization going on that even an end user like you or I could customize an API. Then we can get exactly the data we need like for a tax accountant or investment adviser.
By The Numbers
And unbelievably, with all these great products and project growth, the price seems to not be reflecting the value.
The all-time high of the PRQ token was $2.62 in April of 2021 during the last bull market. Right now, the $PRQ token is down 97% from that high to ~8 cents. It’s almost a 30X just to get back to the old high.
⚡️ Big news! Introducing Reactive Network by PARSIQ, a groundbreaking decentralized layer for cross-chain #EVM interactivity! 🚀

Yet, they’ve done so much more since then, like all these new use cases for developers building out new apps. Plus, as I said at the top, PARSIQ’s current market value is $14.4 million. And The Graph, by comparison, is $1.32 billion. Just under 100x more valuable.
You can love The Graph. We like it here. But this gap is way too large. We expect PARSIQ to grow faster than The Graph in the coming months even as the whole sector of indexing blockchain data grows.
By the way, one of the best places to buy PARSIQ tokens is BYDFi. Because you can get it without doing KYC. You can find the link in the description below.

2) Polkadot (DOT)
We see interoperability as a big narrative that will continue into this new bull market. So when we saw that DOT was down 90% from its all-time high, we were surprised. But it is. Its ATH is $54.98 and its current price is $5.02. That means it’s 90.5% off its current all-time high.
Crypto investors don’t LOVE DOT mostly due to impatience. They build a little slower and publicize their work a little less often and are less hype-y than other networks. But don’t let that fool you. They are doing A LOT.

Including Polkadot 2.0 coming early next year. Among the big chains will be DOT getting rid of the parachain model. Instead, new chains will be buying the blockspace they need. It’s a big, big deal. We already have projects we like in the Polkadot ecosystem or using Substrate like:
- Polkadex.
- Centrifuge.
- Aleph Zero.
- Axelar.
All of whom we’ve given coverage recently because we like what they are doing. The bottom line is Polkadot is making TONS of moves. And these moves are not yet reflected in the price of the DOT token. It’s as simple as that. Which interoperability network is your favorite at the moment? Let us know in the comments below.

3) Filecoin (FIL)
Another surprise entry in the down 90% club is Filecoin. Filecoin hits on Web3 infrastructure generally, and DePIN specifically. And we LOVE this sector. Put simply, this sector provides the tools that all blockchain projects need. All of them. This is the whole “picks and shovels” theory of investing.
Filecoin has rapidly emerged as the world's largest decentralized storage network. 🌐 This success is partly due to Filecoin's visionary tokenomics.

Filecoin is one of the oldest in decentralized file storage. Plus, they work closely with IPFS to help secure NFT metadata and cloud data across the industry. So this is a good way (and lower risk) of going long the NFT market.
Looking at the numbers, FIL hit its ATH of $236 in April 2021 during the last bull market. And it has quite simply fallen off the table since then. Down 98% to $4.40 and only $1.80 above its all-time LOW of $2.64 from last December.
Most of the downside risk is out of this when we look at the charts. And look at how active their network is. Over 14,000 contributors on GitHub and 3,050 projects currently using Filecoin. And like the others, all this network growth is not reflected in the price. AT ALL.
#Filecoin is a crypto-powered storage network whose mission is to create a decentralized, efficient, and robust foundation for humanity's information.
