Recently, there have been many incidents of account attacks, and hacker activity is indeed on the rise. This has become an unavoidable risk for participants. At the same time, I have been reflecting on my investment strategies over the past few days — I have gradually realized that the difficulty of directly participating in projects is increasing, but the expected returns are shrinking. After calculating, the input-output ratio has dropped to a level that is hard to accept. Instead of continuing to spend energy and funds on various projects, it’s better to temporarily hit the pause button. Sometimes, understanding "when not to make a move" can be more valuable than blindly chasing trends. This market needs selective participation, not full-scale involvement.

I never thought I would have to admit one day: lying flat might be the best solution --- As more hackers appear, we all have to be on high alert, but what's even more painful is that the returns are dropping straight down... this position needs to be reduced --- Instead of messing around, it's better to think clearly about when to shut up. This is the cultivation of an advanced player --- Still rushing despite such a poor return on investment? Wake up, everyone. Sometimes not taking action is winning --- Selective participation sounds good, but actually it means that perceptive people are starting to be picky --- Account security + shrinking returns, under double blow, I also start to reflect on life --- At this moment, it's actually the clear-headed ones who are holding on... wait a bit longer before jumping in, really

honestly this hits different... been running the numbers myself and the difficulty adjustment just keeps climbing while rewards flatten out. it's like watching your hashrate stay the same but the network just keeps scaling. selective participation over full throttle is the move—seen too many miners burn out chasing every epoch when the power efficiency just isn't there anymore.

Me too, lately I've been avoiding projects; the risk vs. reward just isn't worth it. --- The hackers are really fierce this time; our brothers need to hold onto their private keys tightly. --- Honestly, participating in projects now is no different from gambling; better to stay in cash and wait for opportunities. --- Pausing is indeed wise; rather than FOMOing in and getting cut, it's better to stay calm and observe. --- I love hearing about selective participation; most people are just greedy and never satisfied. --- The return on investment has collapsed; it's better to put the money into stablecoins and earn interest. --- This market is too competitive; taking a step back opens up a broader sky. --- Why bother? Waiting patiently is more comfortable than being exploited by hackers. --- I've already stopped; watching others go all-in makes me feel very calm. --- Account security > returns; no matter how you calculate, you can't beat this equation.

Hackers are indeed rampant, but to be honest, the real pain is when the cost-benefit ratio collapses. Instead of giving away free, it's better to lie flat and observe.

It's about time to wake up. Chasing projects is like gambling; most people are just leeks. Hackers are so rampant, yet some still dare to go all in? Am I cowardly or just smart? Returns have shrunk to absurd levels. Instead of stubbornly resisting, it's better to hide first. Knowing when to shut up is more profitable than going all-in with full positions. Stopping is really the best strategy, or you'll keep losing. The most dangerous time is when others are FOMO; just liquidate and watch from the sidelines. This is how the market is. Prepare your mindset early, everyone.

The current risk factor is really maxed out—hackers, project scams, rug pulls... it feels like one careless mistake and it's all over. Honestly, if the investment ratio collapses, it should be stopped. Instead of forcing it, it's better to preserve capital and relax. That kind of awareness is rare. The most timid ones are actually those who know the odds are off but still go all-in. Truly. Doing subtraction is much harder than addition. Not taking action is actually the first step to making money.

Hackers are so rampant that playing projects now requires brains... I feel the same way, the investment and output are completely disproportionate, I should have quit long ago. Emptying the position and meditating is really a form of cultivation, much clearer than rushing into projects blindly. To put it simply, timing the market is more difficult than chasing the trend, but it’s also more profitable. I just realized this recently. Account security really wears me out; one careless mistake could wipe out all previous efforts. It’s better to reduce the number of operations. Knowing when to stay silent is more valuable than knowing when to strike... I understand this now. Being as steady as a mountain is better than anything else, this realization has truly changed me.
