Why is early information about Web3 so valuable? Because it's not blind hype, but rather it can tell you why something truly matters.

Good alpha helps you understand the logic behind a project—not just its surface popularity, but what problems it can solve, what risks exist, and how to verify it yourself. This is the real focus of learning.

Instead of passively following the trend, it's better to actively learn how to research. Those who understand trends can find opportunities before things become popular. This requires you to ask why, learn to think independently, and not just stare at candlestick charts to gamble.

That's true, but very few people can truly conduct independent research; most just follow the crowd blindly.

The saying that early information is valuable is correct, but in practice, most people are just gambling. Very few can truly think independently, and in the end, everyone just follows whoever has more followers on their account.

That's right, but how many people can actually do it? Most people are still being led by FOMO. The phrase "independent thinking" sounds easy, but sticking to it is really difficult. I often get caught up myself. The key is to have the patience to dig into project details, rather than going all-in after just reading a tweet. That's true skill.

That's true, but most people still choose to gamble on candlestick charts, really.

There's nothing wrong with that, but the truly independent thinkers are few and far between; most people are still gambling on candlestick charts.

That's true, but most people still choose to watch the market and gamble; anyway, losing money is the happiest.

That's right, but the reality is that most people can't sit still and have to watch the market to survive. Honestly, those who understand the logic tend to make more money than those who rely on quick reflexes. There's nothing wrong with that statement, the problem is why am I always drowned out by noise? People who rely on alpha information are still prone to pitfalls; the source of information is crucial. Researchers indeed live longer, while the life span of retail investors is only three to five years.

That's correct, but the reality is that most people are still gambling and simply don't want to understand the underlying logic.

That's right, but most people are still gambling; they just don't admit it.
