Benjamin Graham's "The Intelligent Investor" remains a cornerstone for anyone navigating volatile markets. His principles—margin of safety, fundamental analysis, long-term thinking—aren't just dated wisdom. They're essential guardrails in crypto investing, where emotional decision-making destroys more wealth than market downturns ever could.



Graham taught us to invest in value, not hype. To do homework before deploying capital. To fear when others are greedy, be greedy when others fear. Sound familiar? That's because these rules work across asset classes—whether you're picking stocks or evaluating blockchain projects. The difference: crypto moves faster, volatility amplifies both gains and losses, and DYOR (do your own research) isn't optional—it's survival.

The book's central thesis still holds: the best returns come from patient investors with discipline, not traders chasing pumps. In 2025's market environment, that message hits harder than ever.

That's true, but the reality is that most people after reading Graham will still go all in on some shitcoin, then cry and cut their losses.

Graham's theory is not wrong, but honestly, DYOR (Do Your Own Research) is rarely truly practiced in the crypto circle. It sounds like a cliché, but after a bull and bear cycle, the difference becomes clear. The concept of margin of safety has really saved me several times, much more reliable than blindly chasing rallies. I should have listened to Graham earlier, then I wouldn't have been so badly cut in the last wave. To put it nicely, very few people can stick to this discipline, and I am an exception.

DYOR is not an option; it's a life-and-death line. That's right, those following the trend in the crypto circle will eventually suffer losses.

That's true, but how many people can really stick with it? Most are still blinded by FOMO. Graham's theory is more of a luxury in the crypto world; people hear DYOR (Do Your Own Research) often but do less. The concept of margin of safety is good, but I'm afraid a sudden crash could wipe it out to zero.

Graham's theory is actually a joke when applied to crypto... Where's the promised margin of safety? Forgetting all about it when encountering a new narrative. Most of those who truly die from emotional decisions are eight out of ten being cut by governance tokens.

To be honest, Graham's theory is constantly being beaten down in the crypto world. DYOR sounds easy, but how many people can truly sit down and research projects? Most are just following the hype and price increases. The concept of margin of safety is really excellent, but unfortunately, too many people can't cut their losses in time.
