99% of People Losing Money in Crypto Fall into These 2 Traps: Are You Falling for Them?

In the crypto world, most people who lose money fall into two familiar traps. One is to hold onto the “zombie coins” waiting for a revival, and the other is to get caught up in the “endless inflation coins” that suck the blood of investors. I almost lost 20,000 USDT just because I didn't see the essence clearly. Today I share openly — so you won't fall into this pitfall anymore.

1. The First Group: Zombie Coin – Zombie Coin This is a type of coin that you can tell at a glance… it's dangerous. Clear identification signs: Obsolete technology, code not updated for years. The community is clinically dead: Telegram hasn’t had a message in a week, Twitter is full of “putting up a goat’s head to sell dog meat” — one day bragging about AI, the next talking about the Metaverse, but in reality, there are no actual products or real progress. There is a risk of being delisted at any time. Last year I held an altcoin, one morning I woke up, opened the app, and saw a delisting notification. The price plummeted to 0 in a day, I couldn't sell a penny. The fate of zombie coins: No team, no development, no liquidity. The longer you hold it, the capital doesn't increase but only… gradually wears away like a “digital souvenir” ticket. You are not losing because of the market; you are losing because the project has been dead for a long time.
2. Group Two: Infinite Inflation Coin – Invisible ATM This is the type of coin that makes most investors “broke.” How they work: The project team releases tokens as if printing paper money; as soon as they are unlocked, they sell. Early investors also take the opportunity to withdraw, leaving retail – small investors to bear the burden. Tokens are continuously inflated, and the longer you hold them, the more value you lose. Practical example: OMG from 20 USD dropped to 0.2 USD — down 99%. STRAT is even worse, almost disappearing from the market radar. Each time FIL is unlocked, it’s a time… investors are “slaughtered.” You think that a low price is an opportunity to buy the dip. But in reality, the money you invest is the profit of the manipulators.
3. Honest Advice: Don't Let Greed Lead You into the Trap Don't chase after the low prices of 80-90% as these coins that have dropped significantly will never return to their previous peaks. Don't believe in “strong communities” or “the team will come back” — those are just comforting words for those who are stuck with their holdings. Stay away from inflationary coins – poor tokenomics won't be saved even if the market is in an uptrend. In the crypto market, knowing how to avoid traps is even more important than finding opportunities. Keeping your money is already a victory.
