Even after DYOR you can't be 100% sure what will happen to a currency.

Greetings from Portugal.

So I belive most of us already know what to look on a currency. Even if you're a starter this sub offers you really good guides on how to DYOR.

But unless you have a ball of crystal, projects outside top100 have always a ''gamble'' factor when you invest in them.

And that's because there are many information that isn't public!

Secretly lending customer funds, market-making against their own customers, intricate webs of counterparty relationships, issuing their own tokens and distributing them to insiders, and so on.

None of that nonsense can be researched, and it is these that cause the most significant movements in cryptocurrency. "DYOR" works only when the market is at least partially transparent. Free markets can only function when everyone is (roughly) on the same playing field. THAT is why publicly traded companies must issue regular earnings reports that are open to the public, and why financial institutions must undergo third-party audits.

I would love to hear the community thoughts on this!

Thanks!
