When it comes to stablecoins and various yield products, the crypto world is like a dark jungle—once you let your guard down, risks are already lurking. Look at those veterans diligently earning points; it’s hard work to make a little profit. To be honest, it’s not easy. But here’s a counterintuitive point: losing money early often helps you go further than just lying flat and earning from the start.

Having been in the industry for so many years, my deepest takeaway is one—making money is never as simple as you think, and the safety of your principal should always come before any profit figures. Don’t chase after those seemingly attractive high yields; the extra you earn could very well be the cost of the next wave of risks. To be honest with everyone, if you want to survive long in this space, risk awareness must be ingrained in your bones.
