What Is Dyor?
8.0BRAINROT SCOREDYOR "Do Your Own Research" — a disclaimer or directive urging people not to blindly trust others' trading calls, tips, or hype.
Origin:A common finance-adjacent disclaimer phrase that became a widely used crypto-specific acronym during the 2016-2018 ICO boom, popularized largely as a response to widespread ICO scams and paid shilling. It is newer and less foundational than terms like HODL or REKT, which trace to crypto's earliest years.

Peak Era:2017-2018 (ICO Boom)
Aura Impact:+3 Aura (adding DYOR before shilling a coin) / -5 Aura (shilling with no disclaimer at all)
