To survive in the crypto world, the first step is to discard your illusions. Many people always think that the project team will have a 'vision' and will consider long-term companionship with the community and helping everyone make money. But what so-called vision is it if they are not harvesting you or cashing out? If it were truly like that, it wouldn't be vision; it would be charity. Please remember, the fundamental purpose of issuing tokens has never been to support you, but to make money.
When you eagerly jump in to place an order, the project team has often already arranged how to sell off their assets in the background. This is not malice, but the nature of the industry. The crypto world is not an ideal society, and the project team is certainly not angel investors. The only way to avoid being harvested is to understand their real game: where is the money flowing? Is the project genuinely building an ecosystem and expanding resources, or is it just focused on short-term cashing out?
One of the most common mistakes beginners make is being emotional: blindly chasing high prices when they hear good news, hastily competing for airdrops, and panicking and fleeing at the first sign of a sell-off. But the truth is, a sell-off does not equal project collapse. If these funds are used to expand the market and promote the ecosystem's implementation, that is an upgrade; but if from the very beginning they only know how to cash out endlessly, the inevitable outcome will be that investors get harvested.
The crypto world is definitely not a lottery center. Rising does not necessarily mean good luck; falling does not necessarily mean bad fate. It tests not your luck, but whether you can understand the rules. The project team is not your family, and they will not provide you with a safety net. The only thing you can truly safeguard is your own wallet.
If you want to avoid being harvested in the crypto world, you need to abandon your illusions and see through their plans. Only by recognizing this can you truly survive.
