Value investing wisdom: Most traditional investors hunt for bargains first—asking 'why is this cheap?' But the real edge comes from spotting mispricings before the crowd does. David Einhorn puts it perfectly: you've got to identify the reason something might be undervalued in the first place. That's the difference between buying something just because it's on sale and actually understanding what the market got wrong. In crypto markets where volatility and sentiment swings are extreme, this mindset could separate informed positions from reactive trading.

In crypto, it's really just a game of information asymmetry; only those who see through it first can make money.

That's right, retail investors love to pick up bargains; the ones truly making money are those who understand why the market is wrong.

That's right, but in the crypto world, this approach is really difficult. A bunch of people just see the price drop and rush in, without asking why it dropped.

Basically, don't follow the trend of buying the dip blindly; you need to understand why it's falling.

In plain terms, you need to identify where the market is truly wrong, rather than following the crowd to pick up cheap deals... Especially in crypto, most people are still chasing highs and selling lows.

Basically, you need to understand why it's cheap first, rather than buying impulsively with a "bargain hunting" mindset.
