Tracking wallets? 🚩
Think again. Here’s why it’s often useless:

1️⃣ You’re Always Late: By the time you see the transaction, it’s already executed.

2️⃣ Cash-Out Mystery: You’ll never know when they dump their big bags.

3️⃣ Decoys & Bots: Many wallets use decoys or are automated, making it impossible to follow their real strategy.

4️⃣ Off-Chain Insights: Wallets don’t reveal the news, partnerships, or insider knowledge driving decisions.

5️⃣ Noise Over Signal: Fake trades, vesting schedules, and mixers obscure the real picture.

Real alpha? Understand fundamentals, not just wallet moves. DYOR before chasing shadows. 🚀
