Hidden Secrets in Crypto Buying and Trading for Beginners (2025 and Beyond)

1. The Illusion of “Decentralization”

Secret: Most crypto projects marketed as decentralized are not truly decentralized.

Breakdown:

  • Many projects claim to be decentralized but are actually controlled by a small group of insiders, such as developers, founding teams, or token whales.
  • Voting mechanisms (DAOs) can be manipulated if voting power is tied to the number of tokens held, allowing early investors or VCs to steer decisions.
  • Some blockchains (like Solana) rely heavily on a small number of validators, which can be shut down or influenced.
