Crypto market information is exploding, but the vast majority are bubbles and noise.

Over the years, I've found that there's only one reliable method: lock onto authoritative sources and cross-verify from multiple angles.

The core is to dedicate some time each day to focus on three types of information. First, official project channels—official websites and GitHub code updates directly reflect team actions and are the most authentic; second, the announcement sections of mainstream exchanges, which can sense key industry trends; third, on-chain data platforms like Etherscan, where fund flows and transaction dynamics are clear at a glance.

But you need to guard against two major traps. One is those so-called insider tips claiming "guaranteed profits," which are usually pyramid schemes in disguise—call them what they are. The other is following KOLs' signals, especially when market sentiment is high, making it easy to get swept up.

Valuable information requires your own verification. I always advocate DYOR—Do Your Own Research. Cross-check whitepapers, look into team backgrounds, see how frequently code updates happen—these details help determine whether a project is genuine or not. Don't rely too much on secondhand summaries from others.

Ultimately, improving your information discernment is about protecting yourself. Market opportunities are abundant every year, but your capital and time are limited. Once you lose them, it's hard to recover. Take popular coins like SOL, for example—no matter how hot the project, you should thoroughly research before entering.

Stay alert and patient—that's the secret to long-term survival.
