Here's something most miss: when everyone's doom scrolling, that's usually when the real opportunities are hiding in plain sight. Sitting on the sidelines? Fine. But don't go dark—spend just 20 minutes daily poking around projects nobody's hyping yet. My biggest wins? Found them months before they exploded on anyone's feed. Quiet research beats FOMO every single time.

yeah ngl, this hits different. been mining the forgotten corners of the chain for years—the real alpha was always in the low hashrate pools nobody bothered optimizing for. same principle tbh... while network difficulty kept everyone distracted, that's when the thermal efficiency gains actually mattered

Ngl, I've heard this argument too many times, but the key is that most people can't even stick to those 20 minutes...

NGL, I've tried this theory and indeed caught some projects that later surged, but I also wasted a lot of time on junk coins... The key is still having good judgment.

ngl this is exactly why what I earn is what others miss out on. Most people just chase trends and FOMO in, not realizing that the juiciest profits have already been taken by those who quietly do their research.

I agree with this logic, but to be honest, most people simply can't stick to 20 minutes of calm research.

It turns out that this 20-minute "cold start research method" is indeed backed by data—I tested some early cross-chain bridge projects last year, and I found them in comment sections that looked like wastelands. But here's the key question: how do you determine whether those "projects nobody is hyping" are truly protocol innovations or just a pile of attack vectors?

nah tbh the "20 min daily research" framing feels like institutional copium... path dependency suggests early-movers already priced in whatever edge exists here. historically precedent shows retail finding "hidden gems" right before smart money dumps, not the other way around lol
