Something that has driven me crazy since getting involved in crypto is the hype, especially when people talk about huge announcements from projects. Big announcements seem to be endless and I've found that almost none of them turn out to be anything special.
Hype Story
Shill: "Big News Everyone. In the next few days, 'Flavor (of the week) coin' is making a big announcement. I don't know exactly what it is but I think its going to be that they are partnering up with all the major corporations (Walmart, Amazon, Google, Microsoft) and all the major banks of the world."
"I'm not giving advice but I highly recommend buying in now before its too late. The flood gates are about to open on this one."
Pigeon: "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.

Shill: "We are talking some serious mooning action!"
