The saddest thing? Mistaking rare survivor bias for a repeatable playbook that "anyone can follow."
This isn't just an investing problem. It's everywhere.
You see one degen turn $500 into $5M on a memecoin and suddenly everyone thinks they can do it. You don't see the 10,000 who got rugged.
Same with "just HODL $BTC since 2013" or "I bought $ETH at $10." Cool story. But most people weren't even in crypto then, and those who were panic sold at $200.
Stop chasing outlier narratives. Build your own edge. Risk what you can afford to lose. And remember: for every success story you hear, there are thousands of silent failures.
