Don't lower your guard in crypto. The reality? Scams are everywhere, from rug pulls to fake airdrops. You think you're careful, but there's always a new angle. Your standards should be ruthless—verify everything, trust nothing at face value. Yes, the space attracts builders and innovators, but it also attracts those looking for quick exits with your funds. Keep your wallet secure, research projects thoroughly before depositing, and remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Stay paranoid, stay safe.

It's been done this way for a long time, but there are still people falling for it every day. Truly speechless.

Bro, what you said really makes sense. I only understand it after experiencing too many losses. Recognizing this early can help you avoid many pitfalls. I've seen too many people go down because of greed.

Really, these days, it's embarrassing to say you've played with crypto without getting scammed at least once.

I've already said it, this circle is just big fish eating small fish, it's hard to guard against.

It's the same old story again, but it's truly outrageous that some people are still falling for it.

It's a bloody lesson. The last time I was exploited, I still regret it. --- Verification, verification, and more verification. There's really no other way. --- Sounds right, but in reality, some people still fall for it, including me. --- I totally agree. Those "hundredfold coins" are just a joke. --- That rug pull part really hit me; it's truly hard to defend against. --- Paranoia is probably the only way to survive in crypto. --- It's true, but the problem is how to verify thoroughly enough. --- Another "stay safe" warning, but who really takes it to heart? --- I've seen through it long ago. The problem is, greed can't be cured. --- I never trust any promises; that's my principle.

Really, I've heard this set of words so many times, but I still have to repeat it for newcomers.

I've seen through this game in the crypto world, one more ruthless than the other. Really, the worst thing isn't a big drop, but those project teams with sweet talk. I was almost rug pulled last year, now anyone promising guaranteed returns I just block immediately. There aren't many reliable projects, most are just here to harvest. This sentence hits home: "If it sounds too good to be true, there's a trap," that's now my motto. Damn, that airdrop project before, luckily I didn't get on board. Vigilance is essential in the crypto world, really.
