Remember, do your own research. Know how to know. And as it has been a million times that has been phrased, do not invest what you cannot afford to lose.
If the OP is afraid of losing money when buying hippoinu, it means that the OP doesn't know the project or even not doing research and analysis
properly. I agree with you, we should invest in projects that we really know about and believe in the future of the project. Don't make a decision
to invest from other people's opinions, that's the wrong way for us to invest, because other people's opinions are not necessarily right. So the only
way we have to trust the results of our own research and analysis, if after doing research and analysis there are still doubts about investing in that
project, we should avoid investing in the project. Don't waste our money investing in something we don't know, then the possibility of experiencing
a loss is very large. My advice to the OP is to focus on investing in old projects that have a good track record, rather than taking the risk of investing
in meme coins that may not necessarily generate profits. Especially in a bear market situation, investing in meme coins is very risky,
so the possibility of experiencing losses is much greater.
