How to spot crypto alpha? Here are the wrong ways: FOMO into trending coins on Twitter, follow celebrity endorsements blindly, chase 100x promises from random Discord groups, ignore fundamentals and just read the hype, trade based on what influencers shill, paper hand at first dip, ignore risk management entirely. If you're doing any of these, you're definitely not finding real alpha.

To be honest, I've basically stepped into all these pits before, and I'm still slowly climbing out haha

Honestly, I've fallen into all these traps. The summary is one sentence: those who don't read the white paper are all newbies.

ngl most of this is just basic risk management wrapped in sage advice... the real alpha hunt requires understanding network effects and adoption curves, not just avoiding the obvious traps. anyone still chasing 100x is fundamentally missing the metaverse infrastructure thesis anyway.
