Early in the year, a case of an "investment crash" made headlines. A well-known investment firm's senior executive had high hopes for a certain project team, but they suddenly went offline, leading to losses for the investors involved. Such incidents are not uncommon in the crypto market and serve as a warning to newcomers.



Although this experience was painful, the investor later publicly shared several key areas they are currently focusing on:

▫️POW Mechanism: Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash remain the flagship in this category
▫️Public Chain Ecosystem: Ethereum's position in smart contracts is unshakable
▫️Stablecoin Sector: Projects like WLFI show promising applications in payments and settlements
▫️Exchange Ecosystem: The BNB token's model tied to exchanges remains strong

However, a special reminder is needed here—these are the views of professional investment institutions, representing their research directions, but they are by no means foolproof choices. After all, Aster was also on their watchlist, but ultimately, they couldn't escape losses. Investors must conduct thorough due diligence and risk assessments before investing.

The market is still waiting for the emergence of new teams and projects at the exchange level. These sectors with ecosystem potential often attract large capital inflows.

Have you also fallen into the "disappearing team" trap in crypto investing? Feel free to share your experience in the comments to help more newcomers identify risks and avoid repeating mistakes.

It's the old routine of a team going silent again. Who's the one messing up this time... Isn't it more profitable for BTC and ETH to just sit back and make money? Why bother with all these?

又是失联跑路,这类事儿见太多了...看那投资机构的赛道选择,说白了还是抱着BTC、ETH这些大船,稳是稳但收益天花板呢,赌新项目又九死一生,真难

It's another team that goes offline. This routine is really everywhere. When big institutions also stumble, what does that say? No one can predict it. A reliable team and a solid track record are more important than just a good project. Even the best direction needs people to execute. I'm optimistic about things like BTC; at least it won't suddenly rug pull. Everything else is just a gamble on luck. I also saw the Aster incident. No matter how big the list, it can't save a bad project. Due diligence is really not just for show. Next exchange? Ha, the next one will also be the next to go offline and disappear. Teams going offline have been through it. Not only is the money lost, but they also get mocked. Now, just copy the holdings of big institutions, and that's it. Stablecoins do have potential, but who knows WLFI? That's where the real risk lies. The problem isn't the track itself; it's whether you're willing to cut losses. Many people just hold on stubbornly. Can you still mine POW? The profit has probably been squeezed dry by now.

The disappearing team thing is really unbelievable. Seeing the big shots also crash and burn just makes me feel relieved haha Another bunch of safe bets, like BTC, ETH, BNB, with these, why bother with due diligence? Aster really hit hard, anyone on the list can crash, so who can you still trust? It's really just gambling with luck; no one can truly avoid it. I've lost money too. I'm tired of POW and public chains, just waiting for the next big opportunity to get rich quickly. You can't tell at a glance whether a team is reliable or not; in the end, it's all about probabilities. I just want to know why big institutions are still chasing these old projects, what about new tracks? Disappearance and such have long become commonplace; that's just how this market is.

Even institutions that are optimistic can go dark, what does that say... Still have to rely on yourself and do thorough due diligence.

Being uncontactable and running away, well, I've gotten used to it. As long as you're not all in, you can still survive. Even professional institutions mess up like this, so as retail investors, we need to be even more cautious. Doing thorough research is better than anything.
