If you're throwing money into shit-coins, garbage shields, and all sorts of junk "because maybe it will skyrocket" — let's be honest: this is not investing, it's the same gambling. There's almost no difference. In a casino, you spin a slot, in crypto — you hit "buy" without thinking. Fundamentals? Utility? Product? Who cares, the main thing is — "it will take off".
Such coins do not create value, they live only off hype and new retail investors who provide liquidity. As long as the crowd is coming in — the price rises, as soon as the flow stops — you are left with a bag of trash and a downward chart.
You are not an investor, you are just hoping to get out before others. This is the mindset of a gambler: "just a little more, now I'll get lucky". Real investments are when you understand why a coin is needed, who uses it and why it will survive in 3–5 years, not when someone sent you a ticker with rockets in your chat.
