[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Trading cryptocurrency is not an overnight success process. It is a long process that requires hard work and determination. Therefore, I am going to break down the process for you into five simple steps which if followed, will lead you to the path of successful traders. Remember, these steps are merely a highlight of what must be done. Let’s us dive deeper into each step[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_video link=”https://youtu. be/w4CdYVP0J8k” align=”center”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]1. Create AccountsThis one is obvious. For you to trade, you need to have an account with a registered broker or exchange platform. Now there are many scam platforms out there; therefore, you need to be vigilant with your account broker selection. The best way is to go through their sites and check the privacy and certifications. A legible platform should be registered under relevant authority in its native country. Some of the most trusted cryptocurrency platforms are;BinanceDenbitBitMEXBitMex TestnetAs a beginner, it is advisable to use BitMEX Testnet, which is user-friendly. It is also prudent to trade only paper and nothing else. After setting up an account, what next? 2. EducationAfter setting up your trading account, the next vital step is educating yourself with how-to of the crypto industry. Luckily, there are hundreds of trusted sources of education over the internet. Most people prefer paid-up training services; however, unpaid learning from a reputable source is a great place to start. Start with familiarizing yourself with basic market terminologies from Google and Investopedia. After wrapping your head around the common trading terms, it will be wise to enroll in a legit educator. Most educators charge a fee, but some offer their services for free or on a free trial. Either way, education is essential in the market, and the sooner you get it, the better. You can also invest in some quality trading books as the market styles and techniques seldom change. When you feel that you have learned enough, it is time now to try things out. Decide the category you are going to fall into; there are only two, a trader or an investor. Afterward, you will be free to proceed to the next step. 3. Back TestingIf your education was thorough enough, you should be familiar with backtesting. Nevertheless, backtesting is the process of trying/ gauging a strategy or skill to see if it works. Backtesting helps you gauge your understanding of the concepts which you grasped in the education level. It also enables you to improve the learned concepts and customize them into your style of trading. Advice from mentors is backtested to see if it works. Some great tools for backtesting areTrading ViewChart ReplayPine EditorFractal TradingIn all these stages, it is advisable to use paper trades and not real money. 4. JournalingJournaling is basically, taking notes of your backtests. The learned concepts from the education step are backtested and then recorded (journaled). Journaling is essential since it helps you monitor your progress. From your journal records, you can make adjustments by dropping concepts that do not work and adjusting the acceptable ones. Once you have perfected your strategy, it is time to put it to test using your real money. 5. Risk ManagementSince you are trading real money at the moment, having a risk management will help tremendously reduce the risks of losing your assets and making more profits. There are dozens of risk management strategies on the internet, and you can select one, backtest, and customize it to your liking. Well, those are the five magical steps of getting into crypto trading. Remember, there is no Holy Grail in trading; your passion, determination, and vigilance will determine if you will succeed or fail.

Benjamin DuvalFounder & CEOLet's Start EarningTake your trades to the next level by optimizing your portfolio to achieve maximum profit. FAQThe Smart Bots are fully automated bots that protect and grow your capital safely and progressively. The objective is to secure profits to have a stable monthly increase in your portfolio in USDT. The set-up is straightforward as you only need an account on Binance and connect to the Bot via API. It is a one-time set-up, and we will guide you if you have any trouble setting it up. The difference is like those assets they are quoted to. Trading on BTC is different than trading on ETH or LINK. It all comes down to liquidity, volume, other participants of the market (also other bots and algorithms), order books, etc. Usually, Smart ETH and LINK are more profitable than Smart BTC, though. The money in the Smart Bots is as safe as your Binance account. If you do not secure your Binance account with the utmost diligence, your funds may be in jeopardy. However, the Smart Bots are unable to withdraw your money via API from your Binance account. The Smart Bots are just a software solution that allows executing your Binance account; it doesn’t hold your funds, nor can it withdraw it. No. You need to open a new Binance account for each of the Smart Bots. Depending on your capital, you can get access to Smart Bots trading on BTC, ETH, LINK, BNB & SOL. You can check them in your Dashboard: https://dashboard. 4c-trading. com/portal/signals/smart-usdIn investing, there is always a risk as past performance is not indicative of future results. However, as the Smart Bots use a risk-protected system, and your position will not be liquidated, your significant risk is mainly a big crypto market crash that is always possible, yet very improbable. You will not be exposed to market manipulation (the Smart Bots will usually follow the trend taking advantage of the situation), nor slippage and/or overload of the book orders. The primary objective of this fully automated algorithmic-backed Smart Bots is to secure profits to have stable monthly growth in your portfolio in USD. The bot is created to work on your Binance account automatically to save you worries about market trends. The Bots act according to the market fluctuations – it buys when there is a real surge in price and sells when there is a confirmed slump, securing profits. The Smart Bots have a proven record of over 30 months of running with remarkable returns. All trading history is available in the 4C Dashboard to see and updated automatically. Many communities and monetary fund managers widely acclaim the Bots as their tool to grow their portfolios. However, the investor must understand that the Bot acts upon a confirmed shift of trend; hence it will open and close its trades a bit later than the initial surge or slump. That is perfectly normal, and it is written in the algorithm of the Bots. Their formula and algorithms are potent over the long term, which has been proven over the months. That is the purpose of the Smart Bots – to enable consistent and steady income even for those with trading expertise close to none and those whose wallets are not the thickest. In short: yes, it is very suitable for newbies! You should sell BTC into the USDT position or wait for another signal from the BOT. We are not allowed to reveal the BOT’s specification due to a confidentiality clause, but rest assured that those are well tested and continuously updated to reflect the market situation. We may, as long as there is enough liquidity in the market for those assets. Technically no. The Smart Bots also grow your crypto stack, but at a slower rate because their primary purpose is to increase your USDT portfolio. We are not financial advisors. We don’t manage any funds or provide financial advice. We are a legal entity with a license to rent trading algorithms. You can meet us in our offices in Belgium, Brussels.

As you may have noticed, the crypto market is not at its best and has not been for some time. You may know by now that crypto goes by cycle, between bull and bear, and currently, we are in the middle of a bear market. The bear market may seem like doomsday for many but don’t worry. For the savvy investors and traders, opportunities are plenty, even during the bear market! That’s what we will be exploring together in this article to help you through this challenging time. What is a bear market? Most financial market professionals consider a bear market to be a decline of more than 20% since the last high or historical high. This may be true for the classical markets, but if we had to declare a bear market every time a crypto loses more than 20%, we wouldn’t make it. A bear market is usually a break of the current trend, i. e. bullish, with a breach below a support level or a break of a moving average. To simplify, one could say that the emergence of a long-term downtrend is usually an indicator of a bear market. 3 main characteristics of a bear marketMore selling than buying sessionsIt seems logical at the mechanical level with more sellers than buyers. Generally, a bear market starts with a simple downward correction with the consequence of a major technical signal to sell. The emergence of negative emotionsA bear market fuels fear and panic. In contrast, you will have many bulls or optimists among financial market professionals who will defend that the correction, despite the confirmation of a major technical signal to sell, is temporary, excessive or over. Technical rebounds of desperationA bear market builds bull traps, i. e. technical rebounds that make you believe that things are moving forward for good. In reality, this is not just an illusion, because investors who were unable to sell their positions when the downward reversal signal was given, take advantage of it to do so at this time under slightly more favorable conditions. How to profit from crypto during a bear market? Just because a market is down doesn’t mean you can’t make money, and let’s explore some solutions together. Automatic TradingTrading during a bear market is not easy, especially in the crypto market where losses can sometimes reach more than 10% per day during a bear market. If you don’t have the skills or the time for it, you should seek out an automatic trading platform such as 4C-Trading or SuperBots. , an algorithmic trading protocol in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) on DEXs, with full automation managed by the Vaults. The vaults are powered by smart contracts to help you manage your assets and each vault contains an algorithm to help you trade. All you need to do is to deposit your capital in the form of crypto (BUSD for example) and the vaults will take care of the rest. The most important question – how did SuperBots perform during the last three months when the crypto market went through a blood bath? Phenomenal! One of the bots, the “Ultimate Scalper” bot, helped the SuperBots community accumulate more than 34%! StakingStaking is the practice of tying up crypto-assets for a long period of time and getting rewarded at the end of it. Although it is subject to risk, it is a fairly quiet way to invest, accessible to all budgets and generally profitable. NFTYou can also use NFTs to hedge against market fluctuations but be careful! In a bear market, all assets tend to fall as investors shy away from risk. Having said that, the bear market is also the best time to accumulate blue chip NFTs. Take for instance, BAYC’s Otherside fell below mint price in May. For the super fans who missed the mint or refused to pay the skyhigh prices, now is the best time to accumulate. ConclusionIt is indeed possible to make money in a bear market if you know what to do! Trading is a good way to win during this crunch time. Manual trading can be exhausting because let’s face it – the bear market carries with it a big bag of emotional roller coaster ride riddled with fear and anguish. To trade without emotions and stay laser focused, automated trading with SuperBots and 4C Trading are your best bets!

This investment pays me 1% in interest per month! How much will I earn in a year and how can I earn more interest? If you have been looking for the answers to those questions, you have come to the right place! Today, we are going to discuss the 8th wonder of the world – the power of compounding your interest and crypto. As Albert Einstein once said: ”Compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it. He who doesn’t, pays it. ”Disclaimer: Our content is intended to be used and must be used for informational purposes only. It is very important to do your own research and analysis before making any investment based on your personal circumstances. What is compound interest? For this article, I will voluntarily popularize it as much as possible because not all of us have studied finance or accounting. So to make it simple, compounding interest consists in using your increased capital for the next interest period. In short, compound interest is the interest you earn on interest. Sounds complex? Here’s a simple example:We have an investment opportunity that pays us 1% per month, in a simple interest context, that would give you an annual return of 12% which is simply the sum of the twelve months. For a capital of $100000, it will bring you $1000 per month and $12000 annually. On the other hand, in the context of compound interest, the interest starting from the second month will no longer be calculated only on the basis of your principal, in this case $100,000, but on the basis of this $100,000 plus the first month’s interest, $101,000. As of the second month, you will thus receive an interest of 1% on a principal of 101000$ and not 100000$ and so on as the months go by. How to calculate the gain? By following a simple mathematical formula: K*(1+i)^n where “K” represents your starting capital, “i” the interest rate and “n” the number of periods, here 12 (months). Feeling overwhelmed? Relax. We will attempt to simplify this. Let’s take the same example: $100,000 multiplied by (1 + the interest rate) exposing 12. In figures this gives: $100,000*(1+0. 01)^12. In a compound interest context, your investment will therefore bring you $112,682. 5 at the end of the year. Try expert pack 7 - days freeExperience the power of automated crypto trading with our superior trading system at the pack level of your choiceThe importance of the time horizonThe longer you put your capital in a compound interest context, the more miracles this mechanism works because its effect is exponential. Let’s take our example again, $100,000 at a simple interest rate of 1% for 36 months will give you a total capital of $136,000 while with compound interest, your total capital would then be $14,307. 87. The difference becomes striking, doesn’t it? A last example this time for 72 months or 6 years, this will give you a final capital of $172,000 with simple interest rates while with compound interest, your final capital would be $204,709. 93. To fully benefit from compounding interest, it is essential that you play the long-term game. Patience is key. The longer you allow your interest to accumulate, the sweeter you gain. Compounding interest with the 4C SMART BotsOur SmartBots at 4C-Trading work a little bit the same way, using all of your available capital for each trade that they execute on your behalf. Of course, the monthly return is not constant and there may be some negative months. The average return, on the other hand, is well above 1% per month, but to take advantage of these tools, you need to adopt a long-term strategy. Should I go all in and forget about it? Would the best solution be to put all your capital into the SMART Bots? Certainly not our dear community. Although the 4C-Trading SMART Bots are a profitable tool, they do have a certain level of risk, as with any investments. It is important to assess your level of risk and capital allocation. This is the very reason why we suggest that you diversify your portfolio and not go all in on one SMART Bot. When you spread your trading capital across the SMART BTC, ETH and LINK Bots, you are managing risk with sensibility. In this way, if one bot underperforms due to unforeseen market trends and conditions, there is a chance that the other bots may perform better. Fear and greed are high in the world of crypto and it is indeed a very volatile market. Given these combinations, it is no wonder that the market is an emotional one. With the 4C-Trading SMART Bots trading on your behalf, you can be sure that our automated trading bots execute trades based on advanced trading algorithms with no emotions involved. Their sole objective is to help investors accumulate sweet gain over time. Hence, when you sign up for the SMART Bots subscription pack, it is important that you adopt a long-term strategy, something which we can all learn from the world of traditional assets.

You have probably already heard this term and we have already published an article on the subject. However, we feel it is important to come back to the subject as it is an important tool in strategy selection. As you can see, we are going to talk about the drawdown here! What is it and how to reduce it, we will see all this together! What is a drawdown? To assess the caliber of their trading and risk management, traders frequently discuss drawdown or maximum drawdown. A trading account’s excellent performance does not necessarily indicate that the strategy or method being used is profitable and risk-free. The drawdown is a measurement of a trading strategy’s loss and, hence, risk. A trading method will only lose as much as its maximum drawdown for a given time frame. On websites like Tradingview, the drawdown is displayed as a percentage and as an amount. The maximum drawdown of a position or trade is the maximum unrealized loss during the entire range. A trade may have been closed at a profit, but still have a significant drawdown. The trader would have let the trade carry a loss, only to cut it to a gain. The drawdown is a measure of risk on a trade by trade basis. It is a more accurate way to measure the “true” drawdown of a trading strategy. Taking into account the latent losses helps to measure the real risk. How to interpret it? All things being equal, the lower the Maximum Drawdown indicator, the better the quality of the trading. Indeed, the Maximum Drawdown corresponds to the worst performance that an investor could have obtained by replicating your trades over a given period. Although past performance does not predict future performance, the Maximum Drawdown allows us to estimate the maximum latent loss that an investor will have to bear if he chooses to invest with you. For example :Following your strategy A, you make an initial investment of $100, and after a string of largely profitable deals, you have earned $150. A 50% improvement in results is excellent! Following a string of losses, you eventually find yourself at $125 before it rises once more to surpass $150, restoring your capital level from before the series of losses. The drawdown is the percentage difference between the lowest level attained and your capital level. The drawdown in the aforementioned scenario is 16. 6%. ConclusionThe drawdown is one of the most interesting tools when it comes to analyzing the risk associated with a strategy. It allows you to gauge the maximum loss before recovery on your capital and thus choose according to your appetite for risk.

Either you’ve spent the last few weeks in a cave, or you’ve heard about it, I mean of course “The merge“. Yes, today the ETH blockchain is officially moving from a “proof of work” model to a “proof of stake” model. It has taken a long time since the creation of the beacon chain but the merge between it and the main chain has finally happened. Sounds complicated? Don’t worry, we’ll clear it up! Ready to go? Let’s get started! What is The Merge? The Merge refers to the Ethereum network’s use of proof-of-stake (PoS), which is also known as the “consensus mechanism” for crypto transactions. The previously in use Proof-of-Work (PoW) system is now replaced with this new one. This technique, which was first introduced by Bitcoin, has the drawback of using a lot more energy. Beacon Chain, a PoS network, has been around since 2020. But transaction processing was not yet done on this network. It served primarily to give the computers that make up the Ethereum network time to get ready for the major switch to PoS. The “execution” layer of the PoW core network and the “consensus” layer of the Beacon Chain had to combine in order for this shift to take place. Exactly this is what we witnessed today! Why this update? Decrease in the energy consumed by the Ethereum networkIt takes a lot of energy to keep thousands of extremely powerful machines running nonstop in order to compete with one another. The fundamental issue is that for any of them to produce interesting output, they must all be running nonstop. Of course, the large carbon footprint of a blockchain like Ethereum is the main effect of this consumption. The Ethereum Foundation calculated that the switch to Proof of Stake may result in a 99. 95% reduction in power consumption, or 2,000 less than Ethereum’s Proof of Work version. ConclusionAfter years of talking about it, the new proof of stake version of Ethereum is finally here. The merge itself represents a real technological feat. Nevertheless, it is still necessary to correct some of your preconceived ideas. No, transaction fees will not drop drastically due to this upgrade, and the speed gain will only marginally improve the scalability of the Ethereum blockchain. On the other hand, this “Merge” lays the foundations of what could be a future scalability solution. The best is yet to come!

Is DeFi Trading safe? - 4C Trading. The name DeFi is now known to most crypto-enthusiasts but it may not be the same when it comes to protocol security. The security on the DeFi market and especially the risks involved when investing are still sometimes too unknown. That’s why today we will answer these questions: Is trading on DeFi safe? What are the risks of trading on DeFi ? How to trade on DeFi when you are a beginner ? Are you ready for it ? Let’s get started! What is DeFi? Decentralized finance, or “DeFi”, is an emerging digital financial infrastructure that theoretically eliminates the need for a central bank or government agency to approve financial transactions. What are the risks of DeFi trading? There are several kinds of risks when trading in the DeFi ecosystem but the one that comes up most often in the news remains the hack. This can happen when a flaw is detected in a smart contract, which allows the hacker to break in and walk away with the funds. Another very important risk is the so-called “rug-pull”. This consists of the creation of a project and the listing of a corner with the promise of an amazing return, sometimes with a PRA exceeding several million percent. It cannot be said enough, when it sounds too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true. Rug-pull occurs when the founders stop the project all of a sudden and leave with the funds, leaving the investors with a total loss. We can also add to this list of risks, the pure and simple scams by means of either phishing techniques or more directly through Telegram. These scammers take advantage of beginners in the crypto-currency world to extort capital from them. According to the REKT Database application of Defiyield, over a period of one year at the time of writing, more than 43 billion dollars of value have been lost, and 40 just for the Terra case. This figure should be taken with a pinch of salt since a second token was created, but even without that, it still adds up to more than 3 billion dollars stolen in various scams. How to mitigate the risk? For a beginner the DeFi ecosystem may seem scary at first glance as it is certainly a bit more complicated than trading on centralized trading platforms such as Binance. Fortunately, there are hedging solutions, which work like insurance, that you can buy to protect yourself against a vulnerability in the smart contract for example. There are several types of insurance, including depeg risk in the case of stablecoins. This would have been perfect when Terra collapsed for example. It is therefore possible to limit the risk but subscribing to this type of insurance is still complicated for beginner investors. ConclusionAs in everything, trading on the DeFi ecosystem involves risk, without risk it is impossible to make a profit, right? Nevertheless there are ways to protect yourself against the most common forms of risk on the DeFi protocols like depeg or a flaw in the Smart contracts. Finally, the best advice in my opinion, never put all your eggs in the same basket!

How to use Telegram in crypto? - 4C Trading. News, rumors, FUD, FOMO, charts, bots, and project updates, discussions, convos…Crypto Telegram is where it’s at. The epicenter and gathering point for the crypto community resides in the encrypted messenger application. Using Telegram is simple, but optimizing your experience to get the most out of the platform calls for a few do’s and don’ts. Here are some pointers for beginners. Secure Your AccountIf you haven’t done that yet, go to “Privacy and Security” in Telegram’s Settings menu. Your phone number should be set as visible only to “My Contacts” or better still “Nobody. ” If it’s set to “Everybody” you’re increasing your chances of being SIM swapped (very important! ). While you’re in the Settings menu, there’s a few more options you should run through, the most important being “Two-Step Verification. ”Unfortunately, Telegram doesn’t offer 2FA, but it does allow you to set up an account password that will prevent anyone from getting into your account, even if they’re able to swap your SIM. Getting a stolen Telegram account returned to its rightful owner is harder than it is with other apps, so it pays to lock it down. Finally, set “Groups” so that only your contacts can add you to Telegram groups. Set it to “Everybody” and you’re prone to be added to spammy crypto groups by randoms. Do it in the right wayLike the other Crypto Twitter, crypto Telegram encapsulates the best and worst elements of the industry. From the lowest scammers to the highest grade projects, it’s all here if you know where to look. Much like the crypto markets, however, failure to master crypto Telegram comes at a high cost. Here’s how to enhance your learning, and extract the most value from the industry’s favorite messenger platform. Keep It ConfidentialIf you need to discuss sensitive information with a Telegram contact, select “New Secret Chat. ” All messages are stored solely on the sender and recipient’s device – not in the cloud. That’s why if you start a secret chat on your smartphone, you can’t view the conversation when you access Telegram Web on your desktop. For added security, secret chats don’t allow message forwarding and have a self-destruct timer, after which the conversation will be deleted. The Signal app is regarded as the most private encrypted messaging app, but for most confidential conversations, Telegram secret chat is fine. Beware of scammersImpostors touting “ETH giveaways” and other low-level scams are more commonly found on Twitter, but Telegram is not immune. Be cautious of anyone who directs messages to you on Telegram claiming to be the admin of a group you’re in, offering you discounted tokens OTC and similar deals. Similarly, don’t assume that a particular Telegram handle corresponds with the same personality on Twitter. You’re probably not going to be messaged by Satoshi Nakamoto or Nick Szabo on Telegram, so be highly skeptical of anyone purporting to be a known crypto influencer unless their username can be verified, such as by cross-referencing it with their Twitter bio. Pin interesting groups, mute the noise,You can pin up to three groups to the top of your Telegram app for convenience. Just hold down the group name for a second and then push the pin icon that appears at the top of the page. Popular Telegram channels are alive with chatter, memes, and gossip – a little too alive at times. For fast-moving channels that provide more noise than signal, swipe left on them from the home screen and they’ll be archived. You can still access them whenever you want to dive back in by clicking the “Archived Chats” button at the top of the page. Use foldersAlso, Telegram has finally adapted its application and now makes it possible to classify (on mobile phones at first) your conversations, chats, and channels in specific folders. Don’t wait any longer to put all your 4C tools in folders, either by creating one for chats and one for channels and bots or by gathering all 4C tools in a single folder. It couldn’t be simpler: go to your Telegram application on your smartphone. Go to menu >> Settings >> Folder >> Create New Folder. And there you can add the channels, chats or bots of your choice. Save messages for laterTelegram has a “Saved Messages” private channel where you can forward messages you want to store for future reference. It’s also handy as a general-purpose clipboard for images and text when jumping between devices. If you need to access a mobile wallet address on your desktop, for instance, you can paste it into saved messages and retrieve it from Telegram Web on your laptop. Just remember to periodically clean your saved messages of sensitive data. For cryptocurrency transactions where privacy is paramount, avoid pasting addresses into Saved Messages altogether. Pick Your Groups CarefullyThis final piece of advice is a subjective one since the Telegram groups and channels you join are dependent on your interests. You’ll have your own favorites but if you find you’re not getting much value out of the channels you’re in, archive them or leave altogether. Telegram is your feed, after all, tailored just the way you like it. Like an altcoin you’ve fallen out of love with, don’t be afraid to dump channels that no longer give you that warm glow. Life’s too short for a mediocre chat and bad memes. If you are looking for top crypto and market analyses, deep market research, inspiring discussions, and insightful info join our 4C-Community!

Crypto lending and the current liquidity crisis - 4C Trading. Despite the high level of fear and panic in the current state of the crypto market, it is very common to go through a fall; especially after a bull run. Given the epic bull run that we witnessed last year, the tumble in prices should come with no surprise. After all, as with any market, crypto evolves in cycles. What is lending? How does it work? What are the differences between lending firms and Decentralized Finance (DeFi)? These are all questions that we will answer in today’s article. Are you ready? Let’s get started! What is crypto lending? One of the hottest trends during the last bull run in the crypto community is undoubtedly lending services. More and more platforms that allow users to borrow, lend, and earn interest in return with their cryptocurrency have emerged. As we have learned the hard way since the bear market started, the extravagant interest rates offered by these lending platforms come with a lot of risks as well. In some cases, this can lead to the total loss of funds. Why are the crypto lending firms in trouble? As with traditional finance, when an investment or loan is not repaid, there are financial consequences for the issuing company. We remember the Lehman Brothers case that led to a global financial crisis in 2008. For the case of lending companies, Celsius for example, the principle is the same. Celsius has indeed invested a lot of funds in stETH, which is supposed to be worth 1 ETH under any circumstances. However, during the crash, the value of stETH changed and started trading at a discount, making it much less liquid. Celsius was left with a worthless investment that could not be disposed of. This led to a suspension of withdrawals, which deteriorates an already shaky confidence situation in this bear market. Another cause is undoubtedly the high leverage used by some firms, borrowing from other firms to finance their own investment. If the latter fails to repay, this causes a cascading effect on the whole DeFi ecosystem and harms its development. Why is DeFi important? The idea of decentralization and transparency, which is often lacking in the classical financial system, is at the heart of the DeFi spirit. The absence of third parties allows lower costs but as we have seen, the current ecosystem still suffers from flaws linked to its infancy stage. As we mentioned in a previous article dedicated to DeFi 2. 0, for the DeFi ecosystem to grow and become mainstream, it will need to innovate in terms of security and transparency. ConclusionWe will evolve and grow from this liquidity crisis and the bear market as a whole and learn from it. The next version of the DeFi ecosystem will have to be more secure. From the investors’ point of view, the key takeaway from the current market chaos is risk diversification and management. The adage “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” holds true. When the market is good, it is easy to get distracted and take higher bets. Leveraging, no matter if you are an experienced or elementary investor or trader, carries a high level of risk and should always be ventured with extreme caution.
