After being in the crypto world for a long time, you'll notice a very real phenomenon.
Many people can tell you "which coin will definitely rise" and speak very convincingly, but when you counter with, "What are the risks of this coin?" the other party often becomes speechless, or even retorts, "If you don't believe it, then don't buy it!"
It's not that he's stupid, but rather that he's not used to thinking about problems comprehensively.
1. What is "comprehensiveness"?
"Comprehensiveness" is actually a very simple but important thinking habit of looking at things from both sides.
If you like a coin, that's fine. But can you also ask yourself:
If this project fails, what will be the reason?
Are there any vulnerabilities that I haven't noticed?
What situations can cause it to stagnate or even go to zero?
Most people only want to hear good news and are unwilling to face the "bad possibilities." However, truly mature investors think through both the good and the bad before making a decision and then place their bets.
2. Why do most people not think it through?
Because there's a little flaw in our human nature called "confirmation bias." When you like something, you only want to see its good side. Just like in a relationship, when your partner snores, you find it cute, and when they give you the cold shoulder, you can also find excuses for them.
Investment is just like that. Once you have high hopes for a certain coin, you frantically search for positive news, listen to KOL analyses, and re-share tweets to shout out your buy orders. When you see someone questioning it, you automatically block them, and even get angry. In the end, you find a mess everywhere, yet still think it's the "market's fault."
3. How to become more comprehensive?
1. Ask yourself three questions
Every time I see a promising project, I force myself to ask:
What would be the reason for failure?
Are there other coins doing similar things? Is it better?
Are there any opaque areas with the project team?
The more angles you consider, the less likely you are to experience a liquidation.
2. Get used to looking at "counter information"
Don't just listen to KOLs saying how strong this coin is, also see how others criticize it. Sometimes what the haters say is the truth. After you read it, you'll know which problems you overlooked.
3. Accept "uncertainty", don't rush to all in
You don't have to wait until you're 100% sure before investing, because by then it might have already risen.
But you need to be aware: Is its rise reasonable? Is it worth you betting heavily? Can you set profit taking and stop loss?
4. Small Example: Comprehensive vs One-sided
Unilateral player:
"$ABC is the leader in the AI sector, it's definitely going to rise this time! I'm all in!"
Three days later, the project party dumped and ran away, and the promised "sector logic" also collapsed.
Comprehensive Player:
"This theme is indeed strong, but the project's lock-up period is about to expire, the official Twitter hasn't been updated, and the possibility of a Ponzi scheme is high. I'm only putting a small position to speculate on short-term gains, entering and exiting quickly."
One goes bankrupt, one survives.
Ending reminder:
The market will not reward players who only see one side.
It rewards those who can see the big picture, assess risks, and control their emotions.
Investment is not about how many times you get it right, but whether you can survive when you get it wrong.
So, the next time you are "bullish on a coin", remember to also think about its "bad" aspects.
It's not that you are denying it, but that you are protecting yourself.
