These days, there are rumors flying about geopolitical issues everywhere, but we need to stay calm. Some claims sound very outrageous; if it were a major event, all mainstream media outlets would be covering it extensively. But now, when and how have we not seen widespread confirmation? The most common issues in the information age are taking things out of context and spreading rumors. Without multiple authoritative media outlets following up simultaneously with big news, we should be skeptical. This reminds us that in the fast-paced flow of information, we still need to slow down and verify.

That's the logic. Hot topics that aren't followed up by multiple media outlets are basically signals of a rug pull. Really, these days information is too chaotic; you have to learn to filter. Major news that mainstream media haven't touched yet, don't rush to spread it. Exactly, rumors are everywhere. Sometimes waiting a bit longer can help you see things more clearly. I'm really annoyed by taking things out of context; we need to wait for authoritative voices.

Staying calm is the right approach, but mainstream media can also be accused, so you can't always trust them.

Hmm, none of the mainstream media have followed up, which does have a certain vibe to it.

The market efficiency of information flow is always lower than rational expectations, which is why retail investors always take the last hit. Going into the market without on-chain evidence is no different from blindly chasing highs.

Mainstream media didn't cover it, so it's definitely fake news. Don't get scammed.

That's right, I also noticed this phenomenon. Every day there's a bunch of big news, but few of them can be truly verified. If mainstream media isn't reporting anything, it probably means it's mostly exaggerated.

Stay calm, but these days mainstream media itself is a mystery. Who has the final say?

Bro, you're right. The information has been really chaotic these past couple of days. Agreed, without mainstream media follow-up, let's hold off for now, otherwise it's easy to get cut. It mainly depends on whether authoritative sources emerge later; right now, there are too many unreliable rumors. Exactly, frozen retail investors have been burned by this kind of news several times. Absolutely, waiting a bit is much more reliable than rushing in. This logic makes sense; major events won't be completely ignored by the media. Let's see what mainstream media says first; personal rumors should be taken with skepticism. I agree, I just wait and see until media confirmation before making any moves.
