The idea

Never in a million years did I think I'd build something that could actually solve problems. Would Love feedback on an investing tool I made.

Show original source text →
Hi everyone, I 28M have been in the crypto space for about 4-5 years now and honestly could never crack the code. Would see people 20x-50x and just like everyone else I would try to chase that anomaly. After loosing money, by either buying the wrong coin by getting influenced by these "crypto gurus" or just buying into the hype. I started looking in more on what some of the most successful traders do. I came across this concept of setting buying and selling tiers. For those who don't know (like me at some point ) it's basically a target price you set to either buy or sell a certain coin. In essence making sure you harvest as your profits grow so you're not just standing there holding the bag, or to strategically buy the dip. I would suggest everyone do their own research. But anyways, I use to struggle on how to actually calculate these tiers, and understand how much to take out, when to harvest etc. I tried watching videos and getting help from AI but tbh AI doesn't really get my financial situation and just basic human nature. And to be fair at times I just forgot that I needed to buy or sell. Missed out on some real moon shots. So after a lot of calculations I made on my phone and countless hour I made a tool which helps calculate your portfolio value, set and calculate tiers with percentages, and has the ability to send email notifications when you reach those tiers. (I'm still working on building the datebase to be able to send those notifications) so will add an update if anyone's interested. I honestly made it because I thought I'm sure there are many people who are in similar boats as me and who knows it could help someone. I'm not here to advertise that because I know it probably still has a lot of work to be done. I am just asking if people in this community can please just check it out, maybe use it or not and just provide feedback on what you think? What could be better? Or why you would or wouldn't use it. Any feedback would be appreciated🙏🏻 Just a simple guy trying to learn. Its called [https://takemyprofits.com/](https://takemyprofits.com/) thank you!

Synthesis verdict
**Pivot**: The idea has a functional prototype and solves a real pain point for retail crypto traders, but it lacks differentiation, scalability, and a clear monetization strategy. The market is crowded, and the current offering lacks integration with exchanges, mobile app support, or social features. The real opportunity lies in embedding AI-driven tier suggestions and evolving into a hybrid advisor. However, the regulatory uncertainty and platform dependency pose significant risks. To pivot, the founder should focus on developing a unique value proposition, integrating with exchanges and other tools, and establishing a clear pricing and acquisition strategy.

Strengths

  • - Functional prototype already built
  • - Solves a real pain point for retail crypto traders
  • - Strong emotional resonance with early feedback

Weaknesses

  • - Lacks differentiation in a crowded market
  • - No clear monetization strategy or pricing structure
  • - Regulatory uncertainty and platform dependency pose significant risks

Best angle

Evolve into a hybrid advisor with AI-driven tier suggestions and integrate with exchanges to capture a niche of 'disciplined but overwhelmed' traders.

“The creator has already built a functional prototype, demonstrating that the core idea is technically feasible and can be further developed by a small team within a relatively short timeframe.”

The idea is a cryptocurrency portfolio management tool that allows users to set and calculate buying and selling tiers, track portfolio value, and receive email notifications. The creator has already built a basic version, indicating that the core functionality is feasible. The technical complexity is moderate, as it involves calculations, data storage, and email notifications. The creator has already implemented the core calculations and tier setting features. The remaining work involves completing the database setup for email notifications, which is a relatively straightforward task. The tool's UI is already available at takemyprofits.com, suggesting that the creator has some front-end development skills. A solo or 2-person team can likely complete the remaining work within 4-12 weeks, depending on the scope of the remaining features and the team's expertise. The main challenge lies in polishing the UI, testing, and ensuring the reliability of the email notification system.

“Retail crypto traders don't need more data - they need automated, emotionally intelligent systems to override their own behavioral biases when it matters most.”

There is a real, underserved audience of retail crypto traders - particularly those with 1-5 years of experience - who have been burned by emotional trading, FOMO, and lack of discipline. These individuals are tech-savvy, actively use tools (Telegram, TradingView, CoinGecko), and have disposable income to allocate to crypto, but lack structured systems to execute profit-taking and dollar-cost averaging strategies. The core problem - forgetting to rebalance, missing tiers, overholding - has high emotional and financial stakes. The product solves a tangible, recurring pain point with a simple, focused MVP: tier-based profit harvesting + email alerts. However, the market is crowded with trading bots, portfolio trackers, and DeFi yield tools; differentiation is critical. The current offering lacks integration with exchanges (APIs), mobile app support, or social features, limiting scalability. Monetization is untested - will users pay $5-10/month for email alerts when free alternatives (like TradingView alerts) exist? The real opportunity lies in embedding AI-driven tier suggestions based on historical volatility, user risk profile, and market cycles - not just static calculations. Early feedback suggests strong emotional resonance, but adoption hinges on proving reliability and reducing friction. If the tool evolves into a hybrid advisor (automated tiers + behavioral nudges + portfolio analytics), it could capture a niche of 'disciplined but overwhelmed' traders. As-is, it's a promising prototype with clear user empathy but insufficient product depth for a scalable business.

Risk

2.0

“Regulatory action against crypto trading tools is the most immediate and lethal threat within the next 6-12 months.”

The venture faces severe challenges due to regulatory uncertainty in crypto, high platform dependency on third-party data feeds and email services, and a user base likely to churn due to the volatile nature of crypto investments. Specifically, regulatory crackdowns on crypto tools (e.g., SEC actions against similar platforms) could immediately halt operations. Dependence on accurate, real-time crypto data feeds and reliable email notification services poses significant platform risk; outages or changes in these services could render the tool useless. Lastly, the target market's propensity for churn is high due to the emotional and financially volatile environment of crypto trading, where users often blame tools for their losses.

Monetization

“A clear, detailed pricing and acquisition strategy is essential to turn this functional crypto tool into a viable high - margin SaaS business.”

The proposal describes a niche SaaS tool for crypto traders that automates tiered buy - sell calculations and sends email alerts. While the technical concept is clear, the revenue model is vague. No pricing tiers, subscription frequency, or one - time fee is mentioned, leaving the primary monetization path undefined. Potential channels such as crypto forums, Discord groups, or influencer partnerships are hinted at only by the request for community feedback, but there is no concrete acquisition strategy, paid advertising budget, or partnership plan. Gross margin assumptions are absent; although software delivery typically yields high margins, the lack of cost - to - serve estimates (e.g., hosting, email delivery, customer support) prevents any realistic margin calculation. The founder's focus on building the product and gathering user feedback is appropriate for early validation, yet investors need a clear conversion funnel: how free users become paid, pricing elasticity, churn expectations, and lifetime value. Without a defined pricing structure (e.g., $9.99/month, tiered plans, freemium with premium alerts), the unit economics cannot be assessed. Moreover, the reliance on email notifications suggests a low - cost channel, but scaling to a larger user base may require push notifications, mobile apps, or API integrations, each adding cost. In summary, the idea has a plausible high - margin SaaS foundation, but the absence of concrete pricing, acquisition channels, and cost - to - serve details makes the revenue path speculative, resulting in a low evaluation score.
