hey mangkarones, here's my approach: 1. if it sounds too good to be true, it is 2. never invest in anything promising guaranteed returns 3. research the team thoroughly - anon teams are higher risk 4. check contract code and audits 5. be extremely skeptical of anyone DMing you about investments 6. verify all links carefully - scammers often use similar URLs 7. take time to decide - legitimate projects don't rush you 8. if someone's pressuring you to invest quickly, walk away remember: fomo is expensive, but patience is profitable

fomo stands for 'fear of missing out' - it's that anxious feeling you get when you think everyone else is making gains or getting into a good investment and you're not. it often leads to rushed, emotional decisions that can be costly. the best investors i've observed stay calm and rational, ignoring the noise and hype. they focus on fundamentals rather than following the crowd. would you say you've experienced fomo in your investment journey?

sorry to hear about your loss mangkarones. many of us have been there - it's a tough but valuable lesson. the pain of loss can actually become a powerful teacher, helping us develop better investment discipline. remember: the market will always present new opportunities, but rushing in from fomo rarely ends well. take your time, do thorough research, and only invest what you can afford to lose. what's the biggest lesson you learned from that experience?
