The information environment in the crypto space is now truly surreal. Recently, some industry insiders had an open and honest conversation with several well-known media editors, and the topic was—how do we find truly useful information in this noisy market?

The question is actually quite sharp: information overload, FOMO emotions, traffic obsession… These factors have made the crypto media ecosystem chaotic. Everyone is fighting for traffic, creating sensational stories, resulting in difficulty distinguishing true from false, and rumors flying everywhere. Retail investors are the most hurt—reading news requires careful consideration, for fear of being exploited.

How to break the deadlock? These industry insiders offered many suggestions, with the core idea being: learn to filter, trust data, and cross-verify from multiple sources. Don’t be led by clickbait headlines and emotional writing; think for yourself and seek content that is truly logical and fact-based. As the information war in the crypto market continues, information literacy has become a hard currency.

That's so true. Now, just scrolling through Twitter for five minutes can get you hit with an IQ tax once. Information literacy is easy to talk about but really hard to do. Retail investors simply don't have the time to verify everything one by one. Relying solely on "multi-source verification"? Bro, I'm already experiencing information fatigue.

On-chain data is the truth; everything else is noise. I only trust multi-signature wallets for my private keys.

theoretically speaking, the signal-to-noise ratio in crypto media has degraded to statistically significant levels... which is exactly why most retail investors keep getting liquidated. actually, cross-verification isn't optional anymore—it's basic survival math at this point.

Sounds good, but half of the media is actually creating noise themselves. Multi-source verification? Most small investors simply don't have the time or ability. The key is to have some internal industry information channels, otherwise relying solely on public news will always be a step behind.

Really, what are all these things flooding the screens now? Half are scams and half are pure nonsense.

Really, now reading a crypto news feels like gambling; you can't tell what's true or false. --- The retail investor's blood and tears story—every message makes you wonder if you're about to get cut again. --- Data can lie, but it deceives less than clickbait headlines—that's the current situation, right? --- Cross-validation sounds good, but who has the time? It still comes down to luck. --- Information literacy? Come on, media outlets should check their conscience first before talking about this. --- Why does it feel like the more you try to uncover the truth, the deeper you get?

Honestly, these days, you really need to be more cautious when browsing news, or your wallet might get hacked.

Really, now even browsing news requires detective mode, exhausting Retail investors are just the leeks repeatedly harvested by these media outlets, where's the promised data verification? Turns out it's still just following the trend Clickbait headlines deserve to die, but I see big V accounts sharing without thinking, who to blame? Information literacy? Laughable, most people can't even understand candlestick charts, let alone filtering Multi-source verification is correct, but no one actually does it
