Do your own research

[Ojima-ojo]

Take it this way, doing your own research is the simple tool that kills the job of the influencers who are paid to put out a bad or worst project to your face and try to convince you into believing there is the best investment, but with a little research and self-examination of the project, you get to discover that there a lot to it than what the promoter has said.

The same applies to every other aspect of the entire cryptocurrency market even Bitcoin needs to be individually studied for a long before you risk your money and don't follow the hype because it leads to depression.

A lot of investment has been wasted in the past on wrong projects and we can take a look back on the altcoin boom and all the other hype that has happened in the market till this very moment, but this day everyone is knowledgeable on investment as long you are ready to read you will find useful I formation that could guide your investment decision.

One of the major reasons why doing your own research is over emphasized in the forums is so that no one will be held responsible for any negative consequences after investment because most times, when people make investments in cryptocurrency and there is a loss, they always look for who next to blame and that is why that very description is always put out for people to be held responsible for their actions rather than blaming someone for it.
To me, I think that very word is just a reminder that we are all responsible for whatever actions we take over here on the forum, hence we should be careful when making financial and investment decisions.

Their are tons of scam projects on the internet, so you always have to do your own research before investing your crypto in anything. OP did a great job to point out the ways to do the research before investing.

The best way to do research before investing is to check the project, learn about the team and people behind it, what is the purpose of the project and how the project works.

in conclusion is to check everything in detail. Research is needed to find out all about the project that will be followed. Without doing research is the same as ignoring the risks that might occur. Projects that have just been launched can suddenly go bankrupt, especially new projects that still don't have good relationships. There is much to research before following it. What the OP explained is clear enough, you just need to run it.
