Don't buy coins just because they go viral
Real example: $Raven
In a few days:
• price skyrockets
• everyone starts talking about it
• timeline full of hype
It looks like a “chance”
but often… it's already the final phase.
Here's usually how the pattern unfolds:
1. The beginning (quiet)
Only a few people know
Price is still low
- Smart money starts to enter
2. It gets crowded
Narratives begin to emerge
People start to get interested
- Viral (hype peak)
Everyone starts talking about it
FOMO happens everywhere
- Retail investors start to enter heavily
4. After that…
No new buyers
Price begins to fall
The problem:
Most people enter during the viral phase
- when the risk is highest
- when insiders start to exit
In crypto:
❌ Viral ≠ safe
❌ Crowded ≠ the best opportunity
What often happens instead:
👉 Those who buy during quiet times → profit
👉 Those who buy during crowded times → become exit liquidity
Conclusion:
Don’t chase hype
Learn to read market phases
Because in crypto…
👉 timing is more important than just “which coin”
