Most people in crypto end up falling into one of these two traps.
Either they keep holding "dead coins" in the hope of a miraculous comeback, or they chase "inflationary coins" that drain investors.
I almost lost 20,000 USDT when I started because I didn't understand this.
So today, I will break down the truth behind both types — so you don't repeat my mistakes.
1. Dead Coins
These are the so-called "projects" that stopped evolving years ago.
With no developer updates, no real roadmap, just empty tweets trying to capitalize on every passing trend — one day it's AI, the next it's metaverse.
Their communities are ghost towns, and exchanges can delist them at any moment.
I once held one that went to zero overnight after a delisting notice — I couldn't even sell.
In the end, all you have left is a "digital relic" from a team that disappeared long ago.
2. Infinite Inflation Traps
These tokens print new supply as if there were no tomorrow.
Each unlocking becomes a massive sell-off, insiders cash out, and retail investors are left holding the bag.
Projects like OMG or STRAT plummeted over 99%, and FIL keeps sinking after each unlocking — it's a cycle of pain.
You think you're buying on a dip, but you're actually just funding someone else's exit.
My advice:
Don't chase cheap prices — most of them are cheap for a reason.
Don't fall for nostalgia — dead projects don't come back.
And never touch coins with endless unlocks or uncontrolled inflation.
Protect your capital first. Opportunities will come later.
