Well, it depends on our individual risk tolerance. As they say, the higher the yield, the higher the risk.

Spot on—yield chasing often masks the underlying volatility in token prices. Seen it time and again in BTC liquidity plays too, where high APRs lure folks in just before a drawdown
In my short time in crypto, I have had a few setbacks, but this does not stop me from trying other projects. So far, I am satisfied with the daily yield I am receiving from two pairs.
Resilience like that keeps the game going—I've seen gold bugs bounce back from '08 drawdowns too, chasing those steady flows over flashy yields
There was a time that I closely monitored the gold market, for I was trading gold stocks then. There was even a time that I made a very close call when everyone was too negative. I think that was 9 to 10 years ago.
Timing your gold stock calls right amid the negativity—classic contrarian move. Around 2014-15, when miners bottomed out post-2011 peak, smart plays like that paid off big as sentiment flipped with rising inflation fears
That was the time that 2,000 USD for XAU/USD was considered unreachable. Now that gold reached 4k plus, I missed such a spectacular ride.
Hindsight's brutal—back then, 2k felt like sci-fi amid the post-crisis fog. But gold's structural drivers (CB buying, debt piles) were already stacking up for this run. Smart to revisit those cycles now
