I've been building a cryptocurrency research platform for finding projects. Appreciate feedback!
The site is here: https://moonfactor.com
I've spent the last 6 months on and off building out a few features and recently pushed a major update which allows users to create their own customised tables (may expand to dashboards).
It was originally inspired by a subreddit (/r/CryptoMoonShots) which is a community of people looking for new crypto projects which have the potential to greatly increase in value. The MF community has slowly grown on Telegram (have 139 members) and I seem to be doing something right as the stats show 100+ users are on the site every day. I've had one of the largest crypto youtubers mention the site in a couple of videos (ReadySetCrypto).
I have a growing list of 200+ tickets, tasks and ideas and plenty of directions I could take the site. However, I am getting to a point where I need to start building some form of revenue or move onto the next idea. I have even had a small VC get in touch and offer to pay my income for a few months so I can stop contracting and focus on it full-time with the option for a larger cash injection down the line.
An obvious idea is to add "pro" features behind a premium subscription.. though unsure of what those features might look like. I have also been playing with the idea of building out a members-only forum (custom built to provide bespoke tools for crypto research).
Does anybody here have experience in crypto and have any suggestions? I feel so very close to materialising something tangible, it's been a long journey (3 years into my business with $0 revenue from other projects).

BTC isnt doing so bad
The vision for the application, and the existing subreddit (CryptoMoonShots), is more about cryptocurrencies with low market capitalisation. The reason is because many people are looking for much smaller projects with much higher upside potential. While BTC has increased greatly in value over the last 12 months, there were many other smaller projects which have increased in value way beyond the multiples seen in BTC.
There is clear risk to earlier currencies but that's part of the challenge -- the features I build from here will be to help discover which of these projects have legitimate, dedicated teams behind them with real-world use-cases and partnerships.
