Doing research doesn't mean collecting information that supports what you already believe. That's confirmation bias. Real research should challenge your assumptions. If you believe a project has strong potential, ask:
🔹 What could make this project fail?
🔹 What are its biggest weaknesses?
🔹 Who are its strongest competitors?
🔹 Is the token actually necessary?
🔹 What happens if adoption doesn't grow?
🔹 What would make me change my mind?
The goal isn't to prove yourself right. The goal is to discover whether your thesis can survive serious questions.
🔑 Key Takeaway: Research that only confirms your belief isn't research. It's reassurance. A strong investment thesis should survive both the bull case and the bear case.
🧠 Practical Reflection; Before your next investment, write down two things: Why could this investment succeed Then ask: Why could I be completely wrong? If you cannot answer the second question, your research may not be finished.
Thought for the Day. Don't research to find reasons to buy. Research to discover whether buying actually makes sense.
Systems over emotion. Conviction over noise.
