Security Tips to Protect Yourself in Crypto

Don't be dazzled by promises of huge profits. Be cautious of those returns that sound too good to be true—they often are.

When doing your own research (DYOR), don't rely on just any source. Verify where the information you're reading actually comes from: established communities, supported technical analysis, reports from trusted platforms.

Especially on special dates like these, keep skepticism at its highest. The anonymous nature of the crypto space will attract scam attempts. Always double-check before moving funds.

Another post warning us not to be fooled, actually the key point is—greed leads to failure --- DYOR (Do Your Own Research) sounds easy to say, but how many people can truly distinguish information sources --- This wave indeed requires caution, I already know someone who has been scammed --- Verifying twice sounds simple, but when it comes to transferring money, the brain tends to heat up... --- Anonymous spaces are the easiest breeding ground for scammers, that's true --- Projects with overly tempting returns, I now just pass on them; living is more important than making quick money

It's the same old story... But honestly, two-factor authentication is indeed easy for lazy dogs like us to overlook. Nap warning, don't move your wallet.

Exactly right, it's always the projects with those hyped-up APYs that are most likely to collapse. This statement is really spot on; if the information source is unreliable, all your DYOR (Do Your Own Research) efforts are pointless. During holidays, it's especially easy to get phished; I've seen too many people lose everything with just one slip-up. Memorize this rule twice; it's a must-know. Better safe than sorry. It's a common saying, but unfortunately, some people are still getting scammed. So sad.

Sounds good, but the truth can be hard to hear. Still, we must stick to our bottom line.

It's the same old story, but the reasoning isn't wrong... I was only harvested because I didn't listen carefully.

Annualized 50% return? I directly pull on-chain data to compare historical volatility... the probability of it being a scam is over 95%.

It's the same old story, but indeed many people still fall for APY bait... --- Been listening to DYOR for ten years, but some still go all in without even looking at the fundamentals --- Double verification should have become a habit long ago, or you'll really deserve to be cut --- The dirtiest part of anonymous spaces is this, hard to defend against --- I can spot projects with hundreds of percent returns at a glance, why do some still believe? --- The key is to have reliable information sources, otherwise DYOR is pointless --- Holiday scams are indeed common, so you need to be extra cautious at this time

I've heard of projects with 100% annualized returns too many times... each time, it's just the prelude to a series of liquidations.

ngl Those projects with 5000% annualized returns are really all scams. I've seen too many brothers get burned.
