Don't invest for quick gains only

[BeginToMine]

Whatever seem good always attract scammers. I always tell people to do research before investing. Truth be told some of your listed defis went below from what they were listed though they haven't scammed. It's good to always research and invest. Defi projects are good but bad ones are more than good one. Let's learn to take precautions before investing.

[yulchatar]

Thank you for the heads up, but I don't know if crypto investors are going to adhere your advise because are are in the Defi boom, and as others have pointed out, similar to IEO of 2017. So no matter what kind of advise you give them, easy $$$ in Defi will be in the eyes of crypto investors and as much as we don't like them to experience to lose money, well it has to happen before they learn their experience.

Unfortunately this is the truth, most people get blinded by the possibility of fast profits and as such when they see that a particular kind of coin is going up in value really fast they try to join the party as well because they don't want to left behind, they see that instead of having to wait a few years to get decent profits they could do so in months or even weeks and most investors do not really care about this market, they only care about the profits they can get and they think they cannot let this opportunity to pass, unfortunately we know how that story ends and it ends with people being scammed and then complaining in the forum about it.

No matter how much we warn each other to be careful when choosing a project, people will understand and learn a lesson only when they themselves make a mistake. I don't want to blame those who want quick money, I myself was like that when I came here, because I was out of work. But everything comes with experience.

Do not invest on DeFi projects that are just DeFi, make sure the DeFi project you pick has better utilities,  ChainLink for example has Oracle to offer, few new DeFi projects I see lately are just using DeFi
name, be careful, Here are few lists of DeFi projects that are more than just the Hypes surrounding them because they actually have some to offer.

DIA

DIA (Decentralized Information Asset) is a Swiss not-for-profit and open-source blockchain project with a mission to drive the adoption of transparent, open-access data and oracles just like chainlink

ORION PROTOCOL

Do you guys remember DYCO? That's a new crowdfunding strategy from Maker team and Orion Protocol is the first to try DYCO out and it was successful, Orion is building B2B and B2C solutions on the most advanced liquidity aggregator

COMPOUND

Compound is a money market protocol that lets users earn interest or borrow assets against collateral, all from the Ethereum blockchain. Compound was one of the first DeFi companies of this recent DeFi cycle to gain mass attention as their native token, COMP, skyrocketed in value before correcting to current levels.

These are good examples of real use cases and these projects aren't here to take advantage of DeFi hype but to actually deliver real utilities, there are more good DEFi projects out there  e.g Synthetix and Oikos Cash , do good research and avoid investing blindly for quick gains, thank you

No matter how much you tell people not to invest for quick gains, they still will do it for the quick gains lol. I mean who wouldn't want to become a rich guy over night, right?
I am pretty much sure most of the people who invest in those scam projects are hundred percent aware of the scam. They just want to exit with enough profit as quickly as possible. Only those who don't know how these works suffers.
I have seen few projects that has already died but now revived themselves by add the term "DeFi" to their project and people are falling for it!
How are you sure that they will actually be able to implement what they are saying? Never heard of any of the projects that you mentioned. They all look like the same "all talk, no work" project.

Altcoins are not really good for the long term, I invested a lot of altcoins in 2018 but they did not yield too many good results. The price has dropped several times and now those projects are completely dead and there aren't any updates. If you want to be safe in the long term, you should invest in Bitcoin and ETH

You have narrated the experience of many but you can't keep looking at the past or your investment that didn't grow and then you don't move forward by trying to reinvest. 2018 wasn't a good year for cryptocurrency investment but this year and more years to come can be better. The projects that Op listed can make it longer.

[iamaruf]

You are right mate. So many new traders investing money and want gain in short times. But It's risky. I think they should not think about quick gains
I think DIA is the most trusted and real DeFi Based project. Investors already made huge profit. But I think DIA will do more great job and price will good Enough

[forexandcryptoauditor]

It is not just DeFi, but is applicable to all good projects. We should never expect quick gains. We should look at the long term perspective. The project mentioned seems god. Except for DIA I do not know other projects much, but DeFi is definitely a new attraction at the moment in the crypto world.

[crzy]

Every time I invest I always look for their purpose in the market and what kind of services that can offer to us that can make them more valuable in the future and help us make money as well so this advice is indeed a must thing to do before investing. If you don’t have much experience with cryptomarket, well I’m telling you that many of the project here are just pure hype and just a copy paste of the old system same as DeFi right now. The list of DeFi on OP is great, I know DIA can make it more profitable soon so watch this project.

[doctor877]

It's something that is kind of hard to tell people believe me because everyone wants something that is fast. But we have to make a decision to put things in the right structure such that Investment won't be alone for quick profit but also for the realization of project purpose which depends on the team

Do not invest on DeFi projects that are just DeFi, make sure the DeFi project you pick has better utilities,  ChainLink for example has Oracle to offer, few new DeFi projects I see lately are just using DeFi name, be careful,

i agree with you, do not pick the wrong defi project
because in the hype of defi, a lot of new project born with defi name
remember everyone to do a deep research before drop your monet

[militiariko]

Well, you cannot tell people why they should invest because we have two types of investors, the short term investors who trade for quick gains, and the long term investors who trade based on future Perspective price of the token or project

Quick gains schemes and projects have seen loads of investors hit rock bottom in terms of their finances being lost. It pays to grow. There is nobility in growth. Grow your resources rather than rush into quick gain schemes and come back with regrets.

well, most cases of people who experience losses must be deceived like that and end up making them suffer very much because of being exposed to a scam which ultimately makes them distrust cryptocurrency anymore.

A reason why many had come into crypto and invest it is that they always think about easy money, quick market gains, and be an instant millionaire which is definitely wrong and only just an imagination. Nah, they can find it in real life when they invest cryptos.

It actually we can make money from here and become profitable but we also have to realize and not being blind enough to see the true market condition and don't live into hallucinations. If we have a good choice of projects, it all becomes possible but if we're not, we have to know also the consequences awaited us.

[chikading2016]

Quick investment is good but most of the people who do quick investment only gain a very small amoint of profit. Bit i we do investment for a long term there are really a great advantage. Crypto is always high on volatility an patience is really important for is to gain huge amount of profit.

[Lizzylove1]

Investing in quick rich DEFi is dangerous, they actually have nothing to offer just a mad money and after then they are gone. I am in Chainlink and DIA.

I can very relate to this one, There is time that my friend see me that I earn such amount of money in cryptocurrency and this instantly triggered them to ask me and teach them how to use and invest on it and they are thinking that I am earning easy money in crypto which is not true. Ups and downs can't be avoided if you are dealing with crypto and seeing only its ups will give a false impression about crypto that it's a money machine.

Today DeFi projects are being hyped up and I'm sure many who are unaware of crypto will think this as a money machine, I'm just hoping that they won't be scammed by fake scam projects because of being ignorant.

[hulla]

Be informed that every Defi project are just finance offering project but 98% of them are hype and it will be up two years before we can actually know the project that have good utility among them. However, this is the danger some investors dont understand before put in their in Defi while some only invest in coin currently making waves in the market.

Who would wait for two years just to see which DeFi projects is actually real or which one will end up failing?

You seems not to get my point here mate because I said the exact time span it will took us to know the genuine Defi project because is the major strategy used by new project of todays to get through investors just like we see then when ETH launched smart contract/Dapps.

I invested in DeFi projects to make money and that's all, I don't tend to hold for longer, just to ride along with the DeFi hype and make some money

If you invested in Defi in other to make some quick profit thats not a bad decision if you have the required knowledge and time.

[deadmousehat]

Indeed, the defi project is currently popular and many beginners invest by following trends and quick research. They should be careful in choosing the right project and study it more deeply

The risk behind our decision always follows after all, that's why we need to focus on strong community of a certain asset. Don't get affected and be fooled with new promises, which actually attracts us on several reasons and other brighter promotions. They're more eager to convince people but can't sustain along the way once the project completely launches their market.
