Notcoin taught us that crypto’s hype cycle is faster than a college semester—here today, gone tomorrow. The token crashed because it relied on user hype instead of real technology or use cases, and once the airdrop was over, no one cared anymore. The lesson? Invest in projects with substance, not just social media clout. Risk management tips for students: 1) Use the “pocket change” rule—only invest what’s left after paying bills and buying groceries. 2) Diversify—don’t put all your crypto in one project, just like you don’t take all your classes at 8 AM (painful and risky). 3) Keep your crypto secure—use a hardware wallet if you can, or at least a reputable exchange with two-factor authentication. And don’t panic-sell during dips—crypto’s volatile, like the cafeteria food. Sometimes it’s bad, but it might get better (or you can just move on to something else).
