DYOR
Acronym for "Do Your Own Research" — a near-mandatory disclaimer attached to crypto recommendations, asset mentions, and trading commentary.
"DYOR" — Do Your Own Research — is the canonical disclaimer in crypto. It accompanies almost every public mention of an asset, protocol, or strategy, signaling that the speaker is not giving financial advice and the reader is responsible for verifying any claim before acting on it.
The phrase has legal cover (avoiding regulatory exposure for unlicensed financial advice), social function (deflecting blame when picks underperform), and cultural meaning (insisting that individual research is part of being a serious participant). The related "NFA" (Not Financial Advice) appears in similar contexts.
