Avoiding landmines is the real edge. What’s your non-negotiable checklist?
Feels like most people don’t lose because they missed the “winner”, they lose because they stepped on obvious landmines they could’ve avoided with a repeatable checklist. I’m curious what your non-negotiable DYOR process looks like before buying anything, especially on small caps where one red flag can wipe you out.
Mine is boring but it filters a lot:
1. Liquidity/LP reality (can you exit without getting nuked?)
2. Contract permissions (mint/freeze/blacklist + how guarded?)
3. Holder concentration (can a few wallets crater the chart?)
What’s yours, and what’s the most common “gotcha” you see newer traders miss (social proof traps, wash volume, spoofed liquidity, admin keys, etc.)? #cryptocurrency
