Once you choose the wrong direction, it's hard to turn back.

In the face of seemingly lucrative opportunities, it's easy to make mistakes. Short-term account numbers may look good, but the gray area of Web3 is full of hidden currents—today's compliance window may close tomorrow. One decision can pull you from the spotlight into an uncertain abyss.

But don't be too pessimistic. Those who truly reach a dead end are often the ones who have already accepted their fate. As long as you haven't fully committed, there is always room for reversal. The key is whether you still have the rationality and courage to make a different choice.

Basically, it's fear of death but still wanting to win—that's a contradiction. Once greed takes over, there's really no turning back. I've seen too many people fall here. Accepting fate is the scariest; at least you can still change your mind. Having a nice account number is useless if you end up inside and can't get out. The key is to keep a backup plan—don't go all in. This is the gambler's mentality; I've seen it too often.

Once the health factor drops below 1.2, there's really no turning back. Don't be blinded by short-term account figures. The lending rate is unreliable, just like the compliance window—it can be closed at any time.

Another warning saying "Choose the wrong direction and it's over"... But honestly, how many people in the community have just fallen victim to the thrill of short-term gains.

This paragraph is a bit heart-wrenching; what is said is indeed the case. The short-term digital temptation is truly irresistible, but once you step deep into this Web3 water... never mind, I won't say more. There are too many real-life examples.

The compliance window can really shut down just like that. I've seen too many people bet on the wrong direction. Those few months with a shiny account can truly make people lose their heads.

It's that same argument of "closing the compliance window at will" again... While the words are not wrong, I'm more curious—how many people still hold onto that sense of reason? When the account numbers are so high that they make your eyes pop, who still remembers what reversal space means?

Watching the account numbers rise is indeed satisfying, but many people immediately regret it... In this broken Web3 space, compliance today means it's gone tomorrow. You really need to think it through. Oh, wait, it's easy to say. Who would be willing to give up what they've already earned? Acceptance is the most heartbreaking, but if there's still a chance, don't lie flat. I believe in that.
