The financial market is no exception—chasing high returns inevitably comes with the risk of losing everything. Handing your funds over to a manager is basically no different from trading crypto yourself. Don’t think those so-called professionals are all that professional—they’re just rookies too. The crypto space lacks unified regulatory mechanisms and basic protection rules for retail investors. This has led to wave after wave of exploitation by these 'scythes,' from VCs and exchanges to media and KOLs. There’s absolutely no bottom line here—even people who’ve rug-pulled before can start a new project and still get resources and traffic. Saw a foreigner say the other day: he swears he’ll never touch DeFi in his lifetime, and he’ll make sure his kids and grandkids stay away from DeFi too. Looks like he’s completely disillusioned. PS: Don’t let high APY cloud your judgment. Always remember, while you’re after the interest, they’re after your principal. Stay safe, protect your principal, and patiently wait for the right opportunity.
