In the information explosion of the Web3 world, the easiest trap to fall into is blindly following the trend. KOL recommendations and community popularity should not be your only reasons. What do true investors do? They pick up data tools—check project liquidity and market performance through public platforms, analyze on-chain data to see actual activity, and carefully read whitepapers to understand project logic. These are basic skills.
Reverse thinking also works: when everyone is frantically buying a certain coin, be cautious; conversely, overlooked projects are worth spending time to research. The price fluctuations of top coins like XRP, SOL, and BNB all follow this rule. To survive longer in this market, independent judgment is a hundred times more important than chasing hot trends.

That's right, this is the real deal. No matter how aggressively KOLs hype it up, I won't move; data is the truth.
Following the trend has resulted in heavy losses, it pains me to watch.
Reverse operations have indeed made money before, but the execution is lacking, and the mindset is easily shattered.
The stuff in the white paper really needs to be read; otherwise, it's just gambling.
Coins that are despised by everyone tend to double in value more easily, but they can also go to zero. That's the difference between gamblers and investors.

That's true, but most people still can't control their hands. I've seen too many people who, when a KOL calls out, rush in without even reading the white paper, then come to ask me why they lost money...

Well said, but honestly most people will still follow the trend after reading
It's the same old story, data tools, on-chain data, whitepapers, sound simple but few people stick to it in practice
Counterintuitive thinking sounds impressive, but in actual operation, the mindset is still washed out by the market
KOL recommendations indeed do harm, but human nature is greedy, who can resist group FOMO
The question is how to distinguish whether overlooked projects are forgotten trash or truly undervalued
Independent judgment is easy to talk about, but after losing money once or twice, most people are still easily swayed
Coins with insufficient liquidity are useless no matter how good they are, slippage can crush your mentality
This cycle will kill off a batch of newcomers, but the next cycle will still bring new rookies
