The Day I Realized DYOR Isn’t Just Advice! It’s a Survival Skill 🛡️

When I first got into crypto, I heard it all the time:

DYOR — Do Your Own Research.

I thought it just meant “Google the project” before buying the dip. But then came the moment that changed everything.

I got into a project hyped by influencers with slick marketing and a roadmap that sounded legit.

I didn’t read the whitepaper. Didn’t check the team. Didn’t question the tokenomics. I just FOMO’d in.

Weeks later? Rugged. Funds gone. Confidence shaken. But worst of all. I had no one to blame but myself.

That’s when I truly understood:

DYOR isn’t some generic tip. It’s survival. It’s how you protect your time, money and trust in this space.

Since then, I changed everything. I read smart contracts. I verify sources. I ask “who benefits?” before I ask “when moon?” Because in crypto, your edge isn’t hype. It’s clarity.

Why share this?

Because I’ve seen too many people (including myself) learn this lesson the hard way. If you’re serious about this space, make research your foundation, not your afterthought.
