People in the crypto space tend to overlook the real risk—the rug pull itself. What sticks in memory? The person behind it. The clown stays vivid while the actual threat fades into the background.

Honestly, what left a deep impression was that person; people in the crypto circle are all like that. The actual risks are often forgotten.

honestly, the person angle is just survivor bias masquerading as pattern recognition. we actually have empirical evidence that selective memory of the scammer's face correlates negatively with portfolio recovery rates—but sure, let's keep minting the next villain in our collective consciousness instead of modeling the actual loss distribution.

To be honest, most people only remember those scammy rug pullers and never think about prevention mechanisms.

That's right, it really is like that. We always focus on criticizing the founders of some trash projects, but we haven't even understood the essence of the risk.

To be honest, we have all been distracted by these "star" project teams and overlooked the most critical issue—the fact that they might run away with the funds. People tend to remember the funny scammers but forget how they lost their money in the first place.

Honestly, we all remember the faces of those scammers, but forget how to recognize the next trap.
