Today’s post covers arguably the most important crypto term in the industry: ā€œDYOR,ā€ which stands for ā€œdo your own research.ā€

This acronym is a call to anyone who’s considering investing in a particular crypto project to take the time to conduct a thorough assessment of the project.

The term ā€œDYORā€ gained popularity during the initial coin offering (ICO) craze from 2016 to 2018, which became a breeding ground for scammers, leading to many investors losing money.

When you ā€œdo your own research,ā€ you’re effectively protecting yourself from potential scams because as you dig deeper into the fundamentals of a project, you’ll uncover all the necessary signs to either invest or avoid the project altogether.

The crypto industry is adept at offering tantalizing projects in which to invest; however, if you make DYOR your No. 1 priority, you’re bound to protect yourself from scams, and you might find those hidden gems.
