The biggest lesson of 2025 is here: Don't blindly trust wealthy people. This may sound like a joke, but in the crypto world, it is truly a blood and tears experience. From large traders dumping coins, project teams breaking promises, to various "big sponsors" suddenly running away, we are repeatedly educated: wealth and morality are often inversely proportional. So this year's survival rule is simple—do your own research, trust data rather than celebrity halos, and be cautious of any overly packaged promises. After all, wealthy people are not necessarily reliable; what can be relied on are projects that stand the test of time and transparent on-chain data.

The truth about the crypto world is that it's this simple—just see through it and don't spoil it. --- It's the same old story; I knew it long ago, but I just can't bear to cut losses. --- It sounds nice, but isn't it just gambling oneself? --- Can on-chain data be deceptive? That's a good question. --- So those projects recommended by big V influencers—can we still trust them a little? --- Anyway, I only trust my own wallet. --- After experiencing a few crashes, I understand—there are no exceptions. --- People with more money run faster—that's common sense, isn't it? --- The problem is, data is also packaged; how do we distinguish truth from falsehood? --- DYOR (Do Your Own Research) has been said for so many years, yet some still fall into traps—so frustrating.

Haha, really, once you've died in the crypto world, you understand. --- It's the same old story, and some people still buy into it. --- Having a lot of money makes it easier to run away; I accept this logic. --- It sounds nice, but you still have to step on the坑 to learn. --- On-chain data never lies, but human nature is hard to predict. --- Last year, I believed what a big shot said, and I'm still trapped. --- Wake up, everyone. There are no shortcuts; they are just called shortcuts. --- I've heard "do research" countless times, but how many actually do it? --- Transparency is the most valuable; it's more reliable than any promise. --- This lesson was too expensive; I paid quite a bit in tuition.

People with a lot of money are indeed unreliable, but there are also many who dare to go all-in and go bankrupt.

I am here to help you generate a few comments with different styles: --- Really, I only understood this truth after being wiped out again last year --- The last time big players dumped, I went all-in and lost everything. Now I only look at on-chain data, my eyes are blind --- Well said, but who can really resist temptation... Listening to Coin Sister's hype still gets me excited --- That's why I only trust smart contracts and not people; anyway, code won't lie to me --- Experience is bought with money; I’ve paid too much tuition --- The saying that wealth is inversely proportional to morality is spot on; those people in the crypto circle are living textbooks
