Read_880 - 12 Years in Crypto...

Have you ever been tempted by the glittering world of crypto,
with promises of easy money and astronomical gains? This week,
I'm diving into a thread from someone who's been in that world
for 12 years, detailing all their painful mistakes. From chasing
ICOs and getting social engineered out of funds, to buying into
DeFi bubbles and getting caught in exchange collapses, their
story is a stark reminder of the risks involved. What can we
learn from their journey, and how does it highlight the
fundamental difference between chasing tokens and understanding
Bitcoin? Join me as I dissect this cautionary tale and reinforce
the simple lessons that could save you a world of pain.
