The List Post

Master Guide

Why Lists Work (Psychology)

🧠
Cognitive ease

Brain processes structured info easier

✅
Promise of completion

"I'll get 5 things" = finite investment

👁️
Scannable

Can skim, decide to read deeper

📤
Shareable

"5 things" = easy to explain to others

List Post Formulas

Formula 1: The Numbered Insight

[Number] [things/lessons/mistakes] I learned [doing X]:

1. [Point + brief explanation]
2. [Point + brief explanation]
3. [Point + brief explanation]
...

[CTA]

Formula 2: The Comparison List

[Thing A] vs [Thing B]:

[Thing A]:
• Point 1
• Point 2
• Point 3

[Thing B]:
• Point 1
• Point 2
• Point 3

Winner: [Your take]

What would you pick?

Formula 3: The Tier List

My [category] tier list:

S: [Best]
A: [Great]
B: [Good]
C: [Okay]
D: [Avoid]

[Controversial placement] will start fights. Ready.

Formula 4: The Checklist

[Topic] checklist before you [action]:

□ [Check 1]
□ [Check 2]
□ [Check 3]
□ [Check 4]
□ [Check 5]

Pass all 5? You're good.
Fail any? Think twice.

Save this.

List Post Best Practices

Do Don't
Odd numbers (3, 5, 7) Even numbers (4, 6, 8)
Specific numbers Vague ("several")
Parallel structure Mixed formats
One idea per point Multiple ideas crammed in
Strong first point Weak opener
Surprising last point Predictable ending

CT List Post Examples

5 signs a project will rug:

1. Anonymous team won't doxx even to VCs
2. Liquidity locked for <6 months
3. Tokenomics >20% to "marketing"
4. Telegram mutes questions about tech
5. They're DMing you

If you see 3+, run.
My altcoin research checklist:

□ Team is public and has shipped before
□ Token unlocks won't dump for 12+ months
□ Working product, not just promises
□ Community exists beyond price chat
□ I can explain what it does in one sentence

5/5 = I'll look closer
<5 = Pass

The Contrarian Take

Master Guide

Why Contrarian Works (Psychology)

⚡
Pattern interrupt

Stops the scroll

🏴
Tribal activation

Agree/disagree = identity expression

💬
Discussion fuel

Controversy = comments

🧠
Memory formation

Unexpected = memorable

Contrarian Post Formulas

Formula 1: The "Actually"

[Common belief] is wrong.

Actually, [your contrarian take].

Here's why:
[Evidence/reasoning]

[Invitation to debate]

Formula 2: The "Everyone Says"

Everyone says [popular opinion].

But the data shows [contradicting evidence].

[Explanation]

[Your position]

Formula 3: The Confession

Unpopular opinion: [contrarian take]

I know this will get me destroyed in the replies.

But here's why I believe it:
[Reasoning]

[Softening: "Change my mind" or "I might be wrong"]

Formula 4: The Myth Buster

[Category] myths that need to die:

Myth 1: [Common belief]
Truth: [Your counter]

Myth 2: [Common belief]
Truth: [Your counter]

Myth 3: [Common belief]
Truth: [Your counter]

Which myth bothers you most?

Contrarian Calibration

Too Safe (No engagement)
"ETH is good"
OPTIMAL ZONE
"ETH might not hit 10K this cycle"
Too Extreme (Gets you canceled)
"ETH is a scam and everyone holding it is an idiot"

The Contrarian Sweet Spot

✓

Disagree with mainstream opinion, not facts

✓

Attack ideas, not people

✓

Leave room to be wrong

✓

Have evidence, not just vibes

CT Contrarian Examples

Unpopular opinion: Most "alpha" on CT is just recycled Dune queries.

The real alpha?
• Talk to founders
• Read code
• Watch wallets, not tweets

CT optimizes for impressions. Alpha requires work nobody wants to do.

Change my mind.
Everyone says "just DCA and chill."

Reality: DCA through a bear market into a project that dies = 100% loss.

DCA is not a strategy. It's cope for not having a thesis.

If you can't explain WHY you're buying, you shouldn't be buying.

Harsh but true.

The Story Hook

Master Guide

Why Stories Work (Psychology)

🔗
Neural coupling

Listener's brain syncs with storyteller's

💕
Oxytocin release

Emotional stories build trust

🧠
Memory encoding

Stories are 22x more memorable than facts

🚀
Transportation

Readers "enter" the story, lowering resistance

Story Elements Checklist

□ Tension/conflict (struggle against something)
□ Transformation (before → after)
□ Universal lesson (reader can apply)
□ Vulnerability (honest about mistakes)

CT Story Examples

I mass sold everything March 2020.

BTC was $6K. ETH was $200.
I was convinced crypto was dead.

2 days later, the Fed printed.

I watched from the sidelines as everything I sold did 10-20x.

Lesson: The best opportunities come when
you're most convinced they won't.

Never selling into max fear again.
Thread: How I almost got rugged for $40K 🧵

I found a "gem" no one was talking about.
Low cap, great website, "doxxed" team.

I aped $40K. My biggest single bet ever.

24 hours later, I noticed something weird...

1/ The "doxxed" team LinkedIn profiles? Stock photos.
2/ The contract? Identical to a known rug
3/ The Telegram? Bought followers

I panic sold. Lost $800 to slippage.

12 hours later: Rug pulled. $0.

The $800 loss was the best money I ever spent.

Lesson: If you can't verify it, don't buy it.

The Curiosity Gap

Master Guide

Why Curiosity Gaps Work (Psychology)

🧩
Information gap theory

Brain treats unknown info like unfinished tasks

🎯
Dopamine anticipation

The wanting > the having

📈
Commitment escalation

Once invested, must see through

🏆
Social currency

"I know something you don't"

Curiosity Gap Formulas

Formula 1: The Tease → Reveal

[Tease: What you know/found]
↓
[Build anticipation]
↓
[Partial reveal (hook deeper)]
↓
[Full reveal]
↓
[CTA]

Formula 2: The Question Stack

What if [intriguing possibility]?

And what if [builds on it]?

And what if [takes it further]?

Here's what I've found:
[Reveal]

Formula 3: The "One Thing"

There's one [thing] that [impressive result].

Most people overlook it.

It's not [obvious answer 1].
It's not [obvious answer 2].

It's [reveal].

Here's why it works:
[Explanation]

Formula 4: The Countdown

[Big claim]

But first, let me explain [context].

[Point 1]

[Point 2]

[Point 3]

Now here's the [reveal]:
[Payoff]

Curiosity Gap Calibration

Too Weak Optimal Too Clickbaity
"Here's a trade idea" "The setup I'm watching that's worked 8/10 times" "THIS COIN WILL 1000X (SECRET ALPHA)"
"I like this coin" "I found something in the contract nobody's talking about" "DEVS DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW THIS"

The Payoff Principle

Curiosity Gap Strength ≤ Payoff Quality
❌

If you overpromise → disappointment → unfollows

✓

If you underpromise → surprise → trust

CT Curiosity Gap Examples

There's one metric that predicted the last 3 alt season tops.

It's not RSI.
It's not social sentiment.
It's not Google trends.

It's [metric].

And right now? It's at [current level].

Here's what that means 👇
[Thread]
I found an on-chain pattern that's only happened 4 times in BTC's history.

Every time → massive move within 30 days.

It just triggered again.

Thread on what I'm seeing and how I'm positioning:
