25 reasons you know you are a real crypto degen

According to Coingecko, Degen is “a Shorthand for Degenerate. Degen trading or Degen mode is when a trader does trading without due diligence and research, aping into signals and FOMO into pumps.”

A degen trader will get lured by fancy marketing and promises of quick and juicy returns. He will completely ignore both fundamental analysis (FA) and technical analysis (TA) and let his emotions drive his market trades.
