People often ask me about my views on a certain cryptocurrency, who the project team members are, or what the prospects look like.

Honestly, I have nothing much to say.

This is my entire understanding — it’s the same no matter when. Are you optimistic about a project? It’s better to ask yourself how much you really know. Team background, technical details, market prospects... These things are not easy to figure out. Most of the time, we buy coins based on intuition and blame our losses on information gaps. Instead of pretending to be knowledgeable, it’s better to admit your limitations. That’s the reliable approach.

Oh, well said. Self-awareness is the first step to making money. --- There are too many people pretending to understand, and in the end, they all end up as retail investors. --- Really, most people start bragging without even reading the white paper. --- I respect this view. Don’t always talk about information asymmetry; first ask yourself, what is a technical analysis? --- So, as I always say, if you don’t understand, don’t touch it, or just treat it as gambling. --- I also dislike those who analyze seriously; they’re just gambling. --- Admitting you don’t understand is better than pretending to be knowledgeable and making money. --- Now, many people just follow their instincts, and when they lose, they blame others. It’s hilarious.

You're absolutely right; you have to admit you don't understand anything to live comfortably.

You're so right. I really like honest people like that. I'm truly tired of listening to those overly confident analysts talk nonsense.

honestly the mempool doesn't lie but your conviction usually does... most people asking about "which coin" should really be asking "how much have i actually analyzed" instead. gas fees tell better stories than any project narrative ever could ngl

Haha, well said. I'm the kind of person who goes all-in on instinct and then regrets it. Ultimately, it's greed. I always think others know some insider information, and as a result, I end up losing even my underwear. This time, the analysis is very clear-headed, much more reliable than those who shout signals every day. I just want to know how many people have really studied the project team, or if they just read the white paper and jumped in. Pretending to understand is the most embarrassing; admitting you're clueless can actually make you money. It's really about admitting you're not good at this, so you can lose less.

lmao yeah, honestly most people don't even audit the contract code before aping in. then they're shocked when the gas optimization is absolute dogshit and they're hemorrhaging bps on every txn. classic ngmi behavior.

Haha, really, I often get asked this kind of question. To be honest, I can't really give an answer. Basically, I just go all-in based on intuition, and if I lose, I blame the information gap. Pretending to understand is really pointless; it's more comfortable to just admit I don't know.
