In the world of the Internet and digital currencies, self-research (DYOR) has become an important code of conduct. DYOR, short for "Do Your Own Research", emphasizes that individuals must conduct sufficient research and investigation before investing or participating in any project. This applies not only to financial investments, but also to any information gathering process that requires decision-making.


In the financial field, DYOR is particularly important. With the development of the Internet, it has become easier than ever to obtain information, but the accuracy and reliability of information are uneven. Investors need to screen information to avoid financial losses caused by false or misleading information. A typical example is the ICO boom in 2017, when many investors suffered huge losses due to blindly following the trend.


In the field of technology, especially blockchain technology, DYOR is also crucial. Blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger technology that is transparent and tamper-proof, but its application and potential are often exaggerated. Investors and users need to understand its basic principles, technical architecture, and practical application scenarios in order to make wise choices.


Specifically for blockchain investment, DYOR can help investors identify the authenticity and potential of projects. For example, a reliable blockchain project should have a clear white paper, and the background and experience of team members should also be open and transparent. In addition, the community participation and development progress of the project are also important indicators for evaluating the project.


DYOR is not only to avoid losses, but also to seize opportunities. Through in-depth research, investors can find projects that really have innovation potential and market demand. For example, it was precisely because of sufficient research that early investors in Bitcoin dared to invest when the technology was not yet mature, and finally received rich returns.


In the financial market, DYOR also involves the study of macro factors such as economic situation and policy changes. For example, the interest rate policy of the Federal Reserve and the international trade situation will have a significant impact on the market. Through independent research, investors can better understand these factors and make more rational investment decisions.


For ordinary people, DYOR is also an important means to improve their knowledge level and thinking ability. In the era of information explosion, it is particularly important to cultivate independent thinking and critical thinking ability. Through self-research, people can not only acquire more knowledge, but also improve their judgment of information and avoid blindly following the trend and herd mentality.
