Recently, during an AMA live broadcast on a leading exchange, seasoned industry experts shared nine key points about cryptocurrency investment, with the most noteworthy being a warning about meme coin issuance.

Specifically, they emphasized that users should never rush to issue meme coins based solely on posts from well-known figures on X platform or social media. This sounds like common sense, but in reality, many people have fallen into this trap—seeing a big V casually mention something and thinking it’s endorsement, only for the project to flop within a week of launch.

Why highlight this point? The reason is simple: the success rate of such projects is alarmingly low, their origins often unclear, and the risk of failure is very high. Even being casually mentioned or reposted doesn’t mean you’ve received any endorsement. In other words, a post is just a post—don’t overthink it.

For investors in mainstream coins like BTC, this is a good reminder— in this market full of opportunities but also full of traps, be cautious about following the trend, especially when it involves projects that seem interesting but have unclear sources. Protecting your funds should always be the top priority.

Here comes another warning not to touch meme coins. The advice is good, but this kind of talk is repeated every year, and still some people rush in anyway.

It's the same old story, always saying not to follow the trend, but still a bunch of people rushing in.

Another era where a big influencer can easily manipulate the market with a single sentence Everyone who keeps falling into traps should wake up. Just a repost as if it's a golden rule? This sounds harsh, but it's the truth. Too many people have died because of "what he said" Meme coins are a gamble between life and death. Following the trend is even more suicidal

Another trap where a "big V can just casually say and issue a token," I am a veteran who has been through it Just one word from a big V and I rushed in, losing a lot without even bargaining Such lessons are truly unforgettable, really Posts are just posts after all, don't get obsessed It's better to honestly hold BTC, meme coins are not worth playing

Uh, it's the same old story. People rush to buy tokens just because a big V said so... Forget it, no more comments. Those who go all-in just by reading big V posts should reflect on themselves. Posts are just posts, nothing wrong with that. I've seen too many scripts where everything cools down in a week. It's better to be honest and hold mainstream coins.

It's the same old story. Influencers just follow the trend and issue coins, no wonder they get cut. --- Honestly, don't be naive. Posts are just posts. --- Nowadays, everyone seems to be setting traps. It's better to just hold BTC honestly. --- Nine and a half out of ten meme coins are dead, and the remaining half has also run away haha. --- People who were fooled by influencers into issuing coins should pay the tuition fee. --- Anyway, I will never touch those projects whose origins I don't know anymore. A painful lesson. --- Just listen, if you believe it seriously, you'll lose. It's that simple.
