“Analyst, I heard from the 'insiders' in the group that a certain coin is going to skyrocket next week. Should I position myself in advance?” Every time I see such messages, I want to ask this brother: do you know who this 'insider' is? Is his source reliable? In 2025, rumors in the cryptocurrency world are rampant, with WeChat groups, Moments, and short video platforms filled with 'insider news' and 'exclusive disclosures'. Many retail investors fall into one pit after another because they trust these rumors.
Let me share a true case: a fan saw someone post 'insider news' in a WeChat group, claiming that a certain coin would be listed on a top exchange and would rise 5 times after going live. He believed it to be true and invested all his principal in this coin. As a result, it not only failed to get listed on the top exchange, but the coin price also dropped by 90%. When he went to find the 'insider' who posted the news, he discovered he had been blocked. It turned out that the 'insider' was a plant from the project party, whose goal was to attract retail investors to take over. In 2025, the proportion of retail investors who suffered losses due to trusting rumors exceeded 70%, which is a staggering figure.
Practical guide to avoiding pitfalls: how to obtain authoritative information and avoid the traps of rumors? First, prioritize official channels, such as the project's official website, official Twitter, GitHub, etc., as the information from these channels is the most authoritative and accurate; second, follow leading media and analysts, such as CoinDesk, Coindesk, The Block, and influential analysts in the industry, as their analyses and interpretations are more professional and objective; third, use on-chain data tools like Dune Analytics, Nansen, Token Terminal, etc., to determine the real situation of projects through on-chain data, rather than believing rumors; fourth, do not join those so-called "internal groups" or "core groups," as most people in these groups are shills trying to trick retail investors into buying.
Let's talk about the skills of market prediction. My view is that market predictions cannot rely on rumors, but on data and logic. First, analyze the macroeconomic environment to assess the market's liquidity; second, analyze industry dynamics, such as regulatory policies, technological upgrades, and institutional movements, to determine the industry's development trends; finally, analyze the fundamentals of projects, such as the team, technology, ecology, and on-chain data, to assess the project's value. Only by combining these three aspects can we make accurate market predictions. Additionally, learn to think independently, do not follow the crowd, and do not be swayed by market emotions.
To be honest: rumors are like drugs, they can excite you temporarily, but ultimately they will ruin you. In the cryptocurrency world of 2025, information is rampant, and we must learn to filter information to obtain authoritative and accurate data.
