When investing in the cryptocurrency market, some people may make certain mistakes, such as:
1. **Chasing trendy new projects**: Some may rush to enter the market at the early stages of a new project, believing that the project concept is excellent and that it can't possibly peak with just a $5 million market cap. However, the project's price may then drop by 99%, and after the developers sell off their tokens, investors get deeply trapped.
2. **Participating in dubious projects**: Some projects may have non-transparent teams (scam projects), yet investors mistakenly believe they can participate like early investors (CTOs). As a result, once the project community is established, the team may dump the project, leading to a drastic drop in value.
3. **Following trend traders in hot projects**: In some projects, traders may have already laid out their positions and are discussing selling off. Meanwhile, someone might only hear about the project the next evening, mistakenly thinking that there is a whale pushing up the price, leading to buying at a high point and subsequently suffering losses.
4. **Ambushing in old projects**: Some may rush to enter an old project with a market cap of only $10,000 without seeing clear signs of team involvement, thinking they have obtained a large number of tokens at a low price. Ultimately, due to the concentration of tokens, the new team may choose to abandon the project and start a new one, causing early investors to suffer losses.
5. **Blindly following conspiracy theory projects**: Some projects may have opaque operations; if investors do not understand the past actions of the team and do not track the addresses of the whales, merely believing in others' promotions and hype, they might chase in at a high point and ultimately get harvested.
In summary, whether it's buying late, selling early, or being washed out of the market, these are not the biggest issues. The key is for investors to be clear about the nature of the projects they are involved in and whose money they are making. Reflecting on these questions may not necessarily lead to making more money, but at least it can save time and financial waste. I hope these insights help investors to be more cautious and wise in their trading process.
