Your mind operates like an algorithm—and that's the trap. Give it enough focus on one thing, and it will happily feed you an endless loop of the same content. You start researching one token, and suddenly your feed is flooded with it. You read one bearish take, and the algorithm doubles down, pulling more pessimistic perspectives. Before you know it, you're living inside an information bubble you built yourself.
This is how most traders operate without even realizing it. The algorithm isn't just out there—it's in your head, filtering what you see, what you believe, and ultimately, how you trade. The scary part? Breaking out of it requires conscious effort. Most people never even try.

Really, this is why I keep getting caught... I can't stop looking at a coin.

Algorithmically nurturing bugs is real; that's how I got completely played out.

ngl this is exactly how rugpull honeypots get normalized in your brain. you research one sus contract, algorithm feeds you 10 more, suddenly you're like "maybe it's legit?" DYOR means actually stepping outside the bubble, not refreshing twitter 50 times hoping for different answers.

Really, just by looking at a coin twice, you're already fed up; this is how the echo chamber is formed.

I used to be the one trapped by the algorithm, constantly scrolling the same cryptocurrency content every day, and as a result, I lost so much that I started to doubt my life.

Really, I see this kind of situation every day... When a coin becomes popular, it starts flooding the screen with posts, and I just can't stop it.
