Don't think about getting rich overnight: this is not heaven, it's a casino.
The temptation of the crypto world is everywhere: someone bought Bitcoin years ago and is now financially free; a certain 'new project' just launched and its returns have multiplied tenfold. But the truth is: 99% of people only see others' glory, not the shadow of themselves being harvested.
Fantasy of becoming rich = actively courting death: every time someone shouts 'hundredfold coin', ask yourself why the news reaches your novice ears first.
Greed is a good friend of the reaper: wealth growth in the crypto world is for the few, while the majority end up losing more the more they chase.
Don't trust flashy KOLs: they are not gods, they are salespeople.
Do you think those KOLs who shout every day are your guiding benefactors? Their interests lie only in getting you to pay.
Those who tell you to buy may have already run away: by the time you chase and buy in, they may have already cashed out at the peak, leaving you with a K-line chart that makes you doubt life.
'Project friends' = accomplices in harvesting your leeks: whenever someone uses phrases like 'trust me' or 'get on board', ask yourself whether you trust their sincerity or their tricks.
Stay away from garbage coins: how much is a worthless promise worth?
There are countless projects in the crypto world, but very few have real value. Many project teams can 'tell stories' with just a white paper, and you only realize after buying in that it's just a beautifully crafted scam.
'Celebrity endorsements' are a smokescreen: leeks love to watch the excitement, so project teams pull in celebrities for endorsements. But when the coin price halves, it won't help you to find the celebrity.
A white paper is not a Bible: a white paper you understand is called a PPT, one you don't understand is called waste paper.
Learn to calculate: fees, slippage, gas fees can kill you invisibly.
In the crypto world, every transaction is working for the exchange on-chain.
Frequent trading = continuous bleeding: fees are not a trivial matter; over time, they eat into your profits and even your principal.
Gas fees are ridiculously high: novices on Ethereum will question if they're making 'charitable donations' after a few trades.
Don't borrow money, don't go all in: gambling psychology can lead you to ruin.
Leverage = hell's gateway: do you think borrowing money to increase your position will speed up wealth growth? When the market reverses, a liquidation will make you understand what instant zero means.
All in = courting death: what the crypto world fears most is not loss, but a total wipeout.
Don't get addicted to short-term trading: your opponent is a robot.
Retail investors' short-term dreams are basically impossible to realize because your opponent is a high-frequency trading quant robot; they are faster, more accurate, and won't get emotional.
Chasing highs and selling lows is the fate of beginners: every time you think you've caught an opportunity, you often end up being the last one to take the fall.
Do less frequent trading and pay fewer fees; that's the key to survival.
Learn to doubt, learn to think: mindless people are only fit to be harvested.
The crypto world is an intellectual battlefield; the cost of blind obedience is tuition.
Every time you see a 'new concept' project, ask yourself: what problem does it solve? Who is operating behind it?
Every time you decide to buy coins, ask yourself: am I in it for long-term value or for speculative fantasies?
The crypto world is not short of leeks, nor is it short of sickles. If novices want to survive, they must grit their teeth, learn the rules, and see through the tricks. If you lack the ability to think calmly, then the crypto world is the best place to cultivate 'intelligence tax'. Either learn to protect yourself or prepare to be cut to tears. The choice is in your hands.
