#加密资产安全风险 This WLFI incident reminds me of the 2014 Mt.Gox event. Back then, an exchange was also suspected of misappropriating user assets, which ultimately led to bankruptcy and liquidation. History is always remarkably similar.



The WLFI team now suspects that certain centralized exchanges may have transferred users' WLFI tokens and sold them without authorization. If this behavior is true, it would undoubtedly be a great betrayal of user trust.

Looking back over the past decade, we have witnessed countless projects collapse due to asset security issues. From the earliest Mt. Gox to the later QuadrigaCX, FCoin, and so on. Each incident has brought a huge impact to the industry and has taught investors a bloody lesson.

However, even after experiencing so much, we still seem to have not truly learned our lessons. As custodians of assets, centralized exchanges hold too much power, and this model itself carries significant risks. The safety of user assets always hangs like a Damocles sword over our heads.

The measures taken by WLFI this time involve a large-scale ban on addresses, with hundreds of addresses including Justin Sun being blacklisted. Although this approach can temporarily prevent further sell-offs, it has also raised questions about the level of decentralization of the project.

As an old person who has experienced multiple bull and bear cycles, what I want to say is: no matter how the market changes, protecting your asset security is always the top priority. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, and don't overly trust any centralized institution. Remember that old saying: "Not your keys, not your coins".

This incident has once again sounded the alarm for us. I hope it can serve as an opportunity for the entire industry to reflect and improve, rather than the beginning of repeating past mistakes. After all, only by truly addressing asset security issues can the entire cryptocurrency industry gain broader trust and adoption.
