When evaluating potential investments, I apply a straightforward filter to immediately rule out problematic assets:
Red flags that disqualify a token instantly: - Heavily bundled or low-utility tokens bundled into questionable packages - Derivative tokens riding on established projects without independent value - Severely concentrated holder distribution (single wallets controlling 3%+ of supply)
These warning signs typically indicate poor tokenomics or unsustainable holder structures that create unnecessary risk exposure. Starting with this trash filter helps eliminate obvious pitfalls before deeper analysis.

NGL, this filtering logic is a bit strict, but it does filter out quite a few junk coins... Is the 3% concentration red line a bit too strict?

NGL, this screening method is too basic. The real pitfalls are hidden in the details... Those 3% of wallets have already dispersed their accounts.

Damn it, another flashy filtering method, but the key question is how many people can really stick to implementing it.

Nah, this filtering logic should have been popularized long ago. How many people are still bottom-fishing on those trash coins controlled by a single wallet with 30%?
