Ever notice how people clam up when money talk starts? That hesitation? It's exactly what scammers bank on.
Here's the thing—not knowing basic investment concepts isn't shameful. What's risky is pretending you do. The crypto space moves fast, and knowledge gaps become expensive mistakes real quick.
Most folks can't explain market cap, liquidity pools, or even what APY actually means. And that's fine. What matters is being curious enough to ask.

If you don't understand, just say you don't understand. Pretending to understand is the real way to lose money...

Pretending to understand on the battlefield is even more deadly than actually not understanding; if the supply line is cut, everything is over.

Honestly, I don't believe anyone truly understands liquidity pools; it's all just for show.

Hi, actually, what I fear most is pretending to understand when I don't, because that really makes it easy to get into trouble.

Whenever money is mentioned, they go silent. This habit needs to change, or they might really get cut out.

What are you pretending for? Just say you don't understand, is that so hard? You have to force it, and in the end, you lose everything, even your underwear.

Really, as soon as money is involved, they start pretending to be cool, and end up getting the worst cut.
