You'll soon discover that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies themselves aren't the enemy. The real issue? It's the people you decided to believe in and put your trust. Whether it's the influencers you followed, the projects you backed, or the voices you amplified—that's where things went sideways.

honestly, this hits different. been accumulating for years and the fundamentals never changed—but yeah, the people part? that's where most runners hit the wall. watched so many solid projects get dragged through the mud because one influencer pumped some narrative. ecosystem momentum stays intact though, ngl.

nah hold up—statistically speaking, the tech was *always* the smokescreen. back in the LUNA days we all learned this the hard way. it's not just about who you trusted, it's the correlation between hype cycles and your own risk appetite, y'know? that's the real premium/discount ratio nobody talks about.

Basically, it's trusting the wrong people; the pitfalls in the crypto world are all self-inflicted.

You're so right, all the pitfalls I stepped into were trusting the wrong people.

Well said, this is exactly what I have been emphasizing—keep your private keys safe and don't blindly trust KOLs. On-chain data never lies, but human nature is always the biggest risk factor.
