Liquidity mining is often overlooked, but it is indeed one of the most practical passive income methods in the crypto space—it's just that many people don't understand it thoroughly enough.

Providing liquidity is not simply "funds locking." You are actually driving the entire trading market. Through your participation, trades are executed, slippage is effectively reduced, and DeFi protocols operate smoothly. In other words, without liquidity providers, this system cannot function properly.

That's correct, but there are very few LPs who actually make money; most people are still at a loss.

That's correct, but the liquidity providers who are truly making money have already left. Those still mining are either gamblers or passive income dreamers.

That's right, liquidity mining is like that; providers are the real heroes behind the scenes, but most people only focus on the returns and not the essence. Really, many people come in just thinking about making easy money, without considering that they are maintaining the operation of the entire ecosystem. If liquidity is insufficient, the market will collapse. This understanding is way too shallow.

Honestly, liquidity mining is seriously underestimated. Most people don't really understand what they're doing. To put it simply, it's just a gear in the market; without us, who would stabilize this situation? The slippage part has indeed been saved a lot; otherwise, how good could the trading experience be? It just seems that many people can't grasp the underlying logic of DeFi, thinking it's just about locking tokens for returns, haha.

You're right, but the ones who truly make money are always the early ones. Going in now? Hehe

To be honest, most people haven't fully understood liquidity mining, and I've also fallen into some traps myself. The most important thing is not to see yourself as a big spender; you're truly contributing to the market.

To be honest, many people really don't understand liquidity mining; they just think about making money by lying around. Reliable projects can indeed provide stable returns, the key is not to pick pools blindly. I feel that most people still underestimate the role of LP; who else will balance this market if not us? So, being an LP actually supports the entire ecosystem's operation, a perspective few people consider. But to be fair, impermanent loss is something to watch out for; not all liquidity opportunities are attractive.

Well said. Many people see liquidity mining and only think about greed for returns, without considering that they are actually supporting the entire ecosystem.

Hey, I'm already tired of this kind of rhetoric. The real money makers aren't liquidity providers; they're the early miners who profit from fork arbitrage, and the project teams are well aware of this.
