The hot Perp-DEX that happened yesterday had issues, but after scrolling through the timeline, only a few people were discussing it. This indicates two problems: first, the actual users of Perp-DEX might be far fewer than we think, and second, these types of products indeed carry significant risks.

This incident somewhat validates my long-held belief—don't go all-in on a single project. Perpetual futures DEXs are attractive, but liquidity risks, liquidation risks, and contract risks are real pitfalls. Everyone's risk tolerance is different, and instead of going all-in on one product, diversifying is a safer approach. This "failure" serves as a good reminder.

Really, just by looking at the hype, you can tell there's some inflated user numbers for this thing. Only brave warriors play all-in perpetual contracts; I'm too timid. This recent malfunction truly served as a wake-up call for me; diversification is really smart. Perpetual contracts can crash and blow up in an instant; it's better to keep some cash on hand. The risk of liquidation is basically like a casino; saving your life is the top priority.

To be honest, this silence is a bit strange and really says a lot. What are those people who went all-in on perpetuals doing now? Diversification is truly the right way.

So, that's why I never put all my eggs in one basket. What happened to the group of people who went all-in on perp? Liquidity risk can really explode; I've seen it happen too many times before. Retail investors should just be honest and diversify, don't think about getting rich overnight. This malfunction is a bloody lesson; is anyone listening? It's obvious that the user base isn't that large; the hype is all blown out of proportion. The most terrifying risk is liquidation; it can wipe everything out in an instant. Don't be fooled by financing news; actual traffic is miserable. Now I prefer small, diversified positions; only then can I stay calm. Perpetual futures sound tempting, but they're not really that great.

It's so sparsely populated, this is just outrageous. Playing all-in is something you need to remember well, or you'll fall again next time. Liquidity risk, really, who can guarantee? Diversify your portfolio, don't think about getting rich overnight. Clearing risk is a pit, everyone who has stepped on it knows the pain. That's why I never go all-in, it's too risky. By the way, why is no one discussing this platform, is it real or fake? You need to have risk awareness, or trouble will come sooner or later.
