Do your own research gone wrong

[9ja Amaka]

X(Twitter) is a parody of the original sources you can use to DYOR. Hardly you see the right information, whenever you find them there. Out of a 1000 search, only 100 will carry the true information.

Doing your own research doesn't mean you will believe whatever you see at first glance. It is called research because you have to surf the internet before you can find the right information.

Twitter is actually good for many things, news updates gets to me faster than other sources and also crypto related news, they are always accurate, the only part that I find to bee truth is the altcoins investments, many influencers who talks only about altcoins investments have been wrong throughout 2025 and yet they are still faking it till today that altcoin season will happen, many people have been fooled, they don't want to accept that this time is truly different.

People should learn to do their own research, in the case of altcoins if you already heard the name from influencers it's already too late because they already positioned successfully and they are only waiting for people who will buy their bags.

You will have to face with Twitter addiction as same as all other social medias. With their modern algorithms and AI works, nowadays you will not only read tweets from people you followed but from many random accounts, that might consume your time, cause addiction, and harm your life quality.

In cryptocurrency, if you only invest, don't trade in this market, and especially if you only invest money in Bitcoin, reading news daily is not necessarily for your investment practice. It even might make you more uncertain, become more emotional, then act wrongly as well.

I believe that the less time you use Twitter, the better for your life quality and your Bitcoin investment.

It is true that Altcoin Season so much promised by people in 2025 did not happen in same way it did in past, in large part due to habit of influencers to be paid money to push coins on idea that early investors can sell their part to unaware masses. Research shows that although twitter is quickest news site, it is also full of fake likes by robots and wrong info which is supposed to trick you into making bad trades. I share same view of fact that when you are being told of coin by influencer, then chances are that you are helping him/her sell their own coins to make some gain. I would suggest to use on chain data tools to watch where actual Whales of money are in real time and this is much safer to follow in 2026 than hashtags.

You just need to be aware of the information. Twitter is a great platform for cryptocurrency, but I guess it wasn't for something like legitimate articles for crypto since most of the information on X or twitter are just made by people not really someone or a website that is credible when it comes to news, anyone could just made and post anything on social media on twitter and says that it is a legitimate one, anyone could post a scam link and a lot of people actually fall on it.

A lot of crypto projects out there are starting on twitter page so you could see most of the projects have a good amount of following on X since that is probably where they started and where they do the daily updates for the projects, and I guess it is already a thing since the beginning and even today we see new projects starting on twitters. But still you need to double check everything since new projects doesn't mean its legitimate since anyone could just create and say it is a new project.

You need to check everything what they do, what they already do, what the there experience, do they have a good following etc. Bottomline is it is still going to be a gamble most of the time since you need to relay on your own research about the information, If you just doesn't know how the information on twitter works, I suggest to stick on some legitimate website first for you research, since a lot of scam projects are already on X.

Social media account can be created by anybody. These accounts can be used to spread fake information without any consequences. The highest punishment would be a ban. And the individual could still register with a different personal information.

Established crypto news platforms would be careful of the information they give out because they are business entities that can be sued. Sometimes when they give out information, they apologise and withdraw such news.

The information in this forum is enough to keep me educated and information. However, I still do more researches from more than one sources to ensure that the report is accurate.

Social media is mainly for entertainment, I don't take information there seriously except it is coming from a verified account or I have confirmed from other sources.

...If you are a beginner I want you to know that X/Twitter has nothing to offer you than Fud, Propaganda nonsense and fake crypto advices. ..

The X/Twitter social network serves as a communication platform where the accounts of virtually all people are represented and what information you get there will depend only on yourself and who you have subscribed to on this network. If you subscribe to scammers, you risk losing your money, if you subscribe to Vitalik Buterin, for example, you will receive smart recommendations.

Frankly speaking social media is not the best place to learn about Bitcoin nor crypto, and not only twitter. And as far as am concerned social media is full of misinformation. wrong and incorrect information  are being shared on social, and most people who are sharing wrong informations on social media are doing it to deceive others, because of what they intend to gain. It is better you do your own research than take what you saw on social media. But that's doesn't mean all the information that are being shared on social media are wrong or incorrect, most of them may be correct but always verify the information to be true before sharing it to others.

Are you sure that informations on twitter are always accurate? I don’t really think so because any information which I see on twitter, I always make sure i confirm the legitimacy of the information from other sources before am going to believe the information. Twitter is just full with people giving false information, some people are ready to do anything possible to get engagement, so they are ready to post anything just to get people’s attention. Any information you see about bitcoin or crypto related informations should be confirmed from other sources before you believe it, don’t be deceived by what someone that’s looking for engagement is posting.

On twitter you'll witness hypes
On twitter you'll see scams
On twitter you'll see biased information
On twitter you'll experience FUD

All of these makes twitter not to be a reliable place to conduct an important research like investment related researches. It makes newbies very vulnerable because it will be difficult filtering what is genuine from the numerous scams and spams.

There is one golden rule "do your own research from different sources ".
