The Costly Lesson from ASTER: Don't Deify Anyone in Crypto

$ASTER has fallen vertically, and what is happening today could actually have been seen very early. As early as November, there were clear warnings that this was not a coin suitable for long-term holding. However, at that time, many people did not listen, and even countered with criticism. The reasons are very familiar: “Celebrities have bought,” “whales have entered,” “this is a valuable coin.” But the market always has its own way of teaching lessons. When a major figure spends a few million dollars to “buy the dip,” it does not mean it is a long-term investment. In crypto, there are showy purchases aimed at creating trust and attracting small investors afterward. When liquidity becomes sufficient, the story ends. Anyone who has been in this market long enough understands one thing: 👉 There are no eternal idols in crypto, only eternal benefits. Many newcomers to the market often make the biggest mistake of: Believing in reputation instead of project structure Trusting stories instead of data Thinking “I got in early,” when in fact they are just latecomers If you are stuck with ASTER or similar coins, don’t blame yourself too much. Everyone in this market has paid tuition at some point, only the timing and amount differ. Most importantly, after this time: Stop listening to hype Learn to assess risks yourself Understand that “celebrities buying” is never enough reason to invest The market doesn’t care who you believe in; it only cares where you put your money and why. A life-changing lesson, but if you can learn from it, the money lost may not be entirely meaningless.
