Retail investors in the crypto world are often like fish floating on the water; as soon as they see a shiny bait, they rush over without considering that there might be a hook behind it.

If you want to get a handle on the crypto market, there's a key question you must clarify—you are asking the wrong person.

A straightforward analogy makes this clear.

Your wife is about to give birth, and you ask a neighbor who has never had a child, "How painful is childbirth?" What real information can he give you? Just empty words. Similarly, if you want to know whether a marriage is worth it, and turn around to ask a guy standing on the rooftop, completely hopeless about life, can his answer represent the thoughts of most people? Obviously not.

Asking the wrong person often leads you down a wrong path. Those who have never made stable money in the market or only have a superficial understanding of this industry—they give what they call "experience" and "advice," which are mostly not only useless but can also lead you into a trap.

Therefore, for professional matters, you should leave them to professionals. If you really want to learn something, you should seek advice from those who have been tested by time and have a long record of success. But that's not enough—during this process, you also need to repeatedly accumulate knowledge, hone your judgment, and learn to distinguish what is a real opportunity and what is a trap dressed up in beautiful packaging.

Ultimately, in this crypto market, what can truly protect you is your own clear-eyed awareness.
