Here's something worth thinking about: the average American hemorrhages roughly $1,000 annually just because of gaps in financial knowledge. Poor money decisions, lack of investment basics, not understanding compound interest—it adds up fast. For those of us in crypto, this hits different. You can't afford ignorance in this space. The market punishes it. Whether it's falling for rug pulls or missing risk management fundamentals, the cost here is measured in zeros lost. Maybe that's why we obsess over learning? We've already learned the hard way that financial literacy isn't optional—it's survival.

ngl Everyone who has lost money in crypto understands, ignorance here means directly deducting from the wallet... A small matter of a thousand yuan in traditional finance, here one rug pull and it's forever gone.

That's right, the crypto world is like a magnifying glass; a single mistake can wipe out your account. Unlike traditional finance, there's no buffer...
