The easiest mistake for newcomers in the crypto world is to want to get rich quickly. But if you only have a superficial understanding of cross-chain assets and haven't grasped the basic concepts of blockchain, you'll just chase gains and sell in panic—this way, you simply won't make money. Building a solid foundation is the first step.



Avoiding pitfalls and practicing diligently are unavoidable. Ask fewer questions and accumulate experience more. There are 101 ways to say the same thing—speculators call investors fools, and investors say speculators are gamblers. Some say a project is a great innovation, others say it's just a shell concept, and some think neither side is reliable. In this market, 99% of people who have been playing for years might still be considered retail investors; don't trust any single voice too much.

Choosing the right circle is crucial. Most group chats are about small talk, with occasional profit screenshots as the only valuable content. Truly valuable communities can help you see the facts clearly.

Ultimately, investing is your own business. Others' analyses are just references; the key is to do your own in-depth research and develop your own investment framework. With a framework, you can have your own stance and ignore others' opinions. Learn more, summarize, and learn from others' strengths and weaknesses, but the decision-making power is in your hands.

Which is better: spot trading, contracts, or options? The one that suits you best is the best. Choose the most appropriate method based on market trends, provided you have a thorough understanding and analysis of the coin. Here’s a key point: do not touch contracts, do not touch contracts, do not touch contracts.

Regarding finding 100x coins, if you don't even understand the basic concepts, haven't grasped the logic of this market, and keep asking others, you'll never find a 100x coin. Instead, you'll be easily harvested. Making money isn't that easy; the easier the method, the less likely you are to make money.

Patience is the foundation of making money. You may need to learn for a long time. If you're exploring blindly, you'll step on many pits before understanding this market. It's okay—treat each pit as a lesson, these are all the tuition fees you have to pay.

Finally, follow basic rules. Admit when you're wrong, accept when you've taken the wrong path. Experts usually don't complain; only the weak like to blame others for harvesting retail investors or unfair rules. Before you have the ability to set rules, speak less.

Never touch contracts, I am a living example, I lost everything in a single all-in move. --- Laying a solid foundation is correct; I used to jump in without understanding anything. --- Honestly, most people in this circle are self-deceiving; those showing profits are only a few selected trades. --- Hundredfold coins? Wake up, that's a fairy tale, not reality. --- Hitting pitfalls is an inevitable part of the journey; no one can avoid it. Just accept it. --- Choosing the right community is really important; garbage group chats are a complete waste of time, all they do is brag. --- Blame yourself for being inexperienced, don’t blame the market. That’s the reality. --- Only by doing thorough research can you have a say; listening to others’ analysis is asking for trouble. --- Spot trading or contracts, that’s not the issue; the problem is you don’t understand coins at all. --- Patience... I lack that trait; rushing for quick gains is the fastest way to lose.

actually... the whole "don't touch futures" thing is valid but also kinda funny when you realize most people don't understand the cryptographic assumptions underlying these contracts anyway. they're just chasing volatility without grasping the trust model they're entering. that's like operating a zero-knowledge proof when you don't even know what information theoretic security means, ngl.

I took a quick look, and that's basically how it is. I laughed at those three contract attempts; what they said is indeed not wrong. To be honest, nine out of ten people who come in just want to get rich quick, and the remaining one hasn't even entered the market yet. I don't believe any of those guys bragging in the groups every day. Doing your own research is the right way.

Sounds good, but the on-chain data is outrageous... Those who shout "strengthen the fundamentals" every day, their own wallet addresses are already in the transfer tracks of some large dormant wallets. To put it plainly, they're just trying to profit off it.

It's the same old story again, sounds good, but those who really make money are quietly getting rich. As for contracts, it's not that you can't touch them; it depends on whether your bullets are strong enough. The village elder's comment is a bit harsh haha, but it's true. To put it simply, a hundredfold coin is just gambling on luck. Instead of asking around, it's better to study it thoroughly yourself. Whether the tuition is expensive or not depends on how big the pits you step into are. Some people spend 100,000 to learn something, while others only understand after spending a million. Frameworks are very important; people without frameworks can only be educated by the market. This article is a bit targeted at those who ask every day, "Is now a good time to enter?" Don't believe anyone's analysis, including the author of this article. Complaining that you'll never make money—there's no wrong in that.

Really, 99% of people are making the same mistakes. I calculated it—among the newcomers who entered last year, less than 12% are still profitless this year. The data is right here; don't believe those screenshots.
