The River Isn’t Deep

A stranger on horseback came to a river with which he was unfamiliar. The traveler asked a youngster if it was deep.

“No”, replied to the boy, and the rider started to cross, but soon found that he and his horse had to swim for their lives.

When the traveler reached the other side, he turned and shouted: “I thought you said it wasn’t deep?”

“It isn’t”, was the boy’s reply: “it only takes grandfather’s ducks up to their middles!”

This parable reminds me of the importance of accurate information in the crypto world, where market sentiment can shift rapidly. We must always verify the facts before making a decision, lest we find ourselves in a situation as precarious as the traveler.
