I often fall into a vicious cycle—greedily chasing the highest returns, even if it means filtering out those with poor liquidity, questionable quality, or emerging DeFi protocols. After so many years in this industry, I really should learn to remember this lesson.
The ideal is very appealing: wanting the highest yield while also ensuring maximum safety. The reality is quite stark: what’s actually needed is to find that balance point between the two. You can't just focus on the numbers; you also need to clearly see the risks behind them—whether liquidity is sufficient, if the protocol has undergone audits, and whether the token distribution is reasonable. The returns are tempting, but the safety of the principal is the top priority.
Staring at numbers until it blurs, and then one careless move gets rug pulled. That lesson is deeply ingrained.
Details like liquidity, audits, and token distribution must be double-checked repeatedly; laziness is not an option.
In the end, we have to admit that stable returns are more important than explosive gains. If the principal is lost, everything is gone.

That's right, I also often get blinded by high APY, and as a result, a flash loan is gone
---
Protocols with poor liquidity are truly invisible killers; no matter how good the numbers look, it's useless
---
Always carefully review audited projects; avoid those without audits at all costs—lessons learned the hard way
---
Greed ultimately gets nothing, this is a painful truth
---
Principal is the key; don't be fooled by those outrageous profits
---
Every time they say "this time it's different," but it still ends in a rug pull
---
Unreasonable token distribution? Just pass, save yourself trouble
---
High yield and safety at the same time? What are you thinking, choose one or the other
---
That's why it's important to study the fundamentals; you can't just look at the yield rate
---
Every time I hear "this time it's different," I end up paying tuition fees
Principal is gone, and so are the earnings. This lesson is really costly
Liquidity really needs to be looked at carefully, or you'll be crying when you run away
What sounds nice is balance, but actually it's just a back-and-forth between greed and cowardice
No audit records, yet still daring to rush in. Last time, I lost so much I called my mom
After being caught in a few traps, you should understand that liquidity really can't be overlooked.
Where does rationality go when you're blinded by high APY? I've looked at the audit records, it's just... greed taking over.
Honestly, you have to suffer losses to remember the lesson; just talking about it is useless.
Principal safety > high returns; everyone understands this but can't do it.
Now I stay far away from those with poor liquidity, I've learned to be smart.
Another story of suffering big losses, but it's really time to make peace with the risks.
