I was scrolling late last night until 3 a.m., and someone in the group said a certain KOL called for a “must-buy” project. My brain went hot and I almost clicked to authorize it. Right before I hit the button, I suddenly remembered the lesson from getting tricked by a phishing link last week. The domain of that link had an extra letter—I stared at it for over ten seconds before I realized. Looking back, some impulsiveness is really just digging a hole for yourself.

But I’ve also had a pretty fascinating experience—seeing a new take on a cross-chain bridge. I couldn’t make sense of the whitepaper or the code, and “V God DMs,” “internal messages,” and so on came at me nonstop. So I just turned off all the groups, switched my wallet to a new address, and left it untouched for a week. Later I heard that the project really was a shell scam, and many people who rushed in had their wallets emptied.

To put it bluntly, the more information you have, the easier it is to get carried away. KOLs and group messages are catalysts, but in the end, the one who makes the final call is still yourself. When you see something you don’t understand, just assume it’s noise at first—wait until the threshold to understand it gets lower. Making money doesn’t depend on one or two days. Waiting three weeks is better than getting trapped for three months.

(Oh, right—lately it seems hardware wallets have been out of stock. Everyone suddenly cares about security? That’s great at least it’s better than what I used to do, like sending the wrong group the private key screenshot…)
