Even after DYOR crypto is a gamble!

How naive I was? Always believed DYOR is enough to be a good little investor. Sadly it isn't.

Few days back FTM was hit by a news no research would have shown. Two founders just quit. Who could have known? I didn't. It was out of our hands.

What happens if a company lies about their blockchain's performance? Or extent to which a partner involved? Or simply about their goal? Who can grantee that their white paper is not load of bollocks?

Also to be able to really do your own research one should be able to understand the technology itself or at least have reliable source to depend on. For many of us it is one's word against another. And even if we do grasp the technological side of a project there are always so many other things that can go wrong.

Maybe people are right to say only invest in BTC. Or only the most welknown projects. For know it feels more like gambling tbh.
