While organizing my bookshelf over the weekend, I found a psychology book I had only read two chapters of, with a bookmark still placed at Chapter 3. At that time, I was so confident, thinking I had already grasped it all, that I never flipped through it again.



This incident reminded me of what Taleb once said: "Superficial research is more dangerous than ignorance because you act with false certainty." That really hit home.

Thinking back to a positive piece of news I saw on $BNB earlier, I only quickly skimmed a few updates before deciding to increase my position. Truly, at that moment, I felt I had insight into the market. But in reality? The subtle changes in the ecosystem and the reversal of market sentiment were all masked by my overconfidence in "my understanding." The trading results speak for themselves.

The real risk has never come from the unknown. The most frightening thing is our misjudgment of the known—those half-understood, yet confidently held beliefs. A thorough review can save you from taking ten wrong turns. Now, I approach every step on $BNB with more reverence, willing to spend time understanding the underlying logic instead of being hijacked by superficial "certainty."

Stop, go deeper, and only then can you see through the fog.

Oh, I was just saying, the half-baked ones are the ones who cause the most trouble. They think they can understand everything with a quick glance every day, but in the end, you're the one who gets stuck holding the bag. Now, whenever I see any increase, I first ask myself if I really understand it, or else I'm just digging my own grave.

Oh no, isn't this the phenomenon I see on the chain every day? A quick scan of the news and then going all-in, daring to add positions without even reading the contract audit, pretending not to see the chaotic fund flows. This is how retail investors get chopped.
