MYTH: "Early entry = guaranteed gains."
REALITY CHECK:
CoinGecko just confirmed what smart money already knew:
20.2M tokens launched since 2021 53% are now dead 11.6M failed in 2025 alone Even legit projects with real products — 51.75% failed after token launch
The token didn't save them. The speculation killed them.
Retail keeps hunting for "hidden gems" while whales are quietly running backtested, systematic strategies that don't depend on narrative timing.
The edge isn't finding the right token early.
The edge is building a strategy that survives wrong picks.
Systems over speculation. Always.
