The stories in the crypto world are always extreme. Some turn a few dollars into a million-dollar fortune, while others see millions locked in their accounts suddenly frozen—all because the project team hid a backdoor in the smart contract, which can be used to ban your address with a single click. Sounds unbelievable? But this is the reality.

The harsh truth behind this is: if you can't understand the contract code, you have no control over your own money. Before chasing the hype, first understand the rules, rather than blindly betting. Many people only realize this after falling into traps.

Opportunities always emerge after market adjustments, especially with high-volatility assets like MEME coins. The problem is most people can't hold onto these opportunities, nor can they see clearly which projects are genuine and which are ticking time bombs. Having a risk-identification eye is often worth much more than blindly following the trend.

So? Stay patient, keep learning, and wait for projects with real fundamentals. The crypto world never owes anyone anything, but it always rewards those who are prepared. Before that, remember one thing: your funds must be in your own hands. Verify more before investing, and regret less afterward.

That's true, but the reality is that most people start going all-in without understanding the contract, then cry and claim they've been scammed...

the smart contract as a readymade... baudelaire would've had a field day with this. most people treating code like they treat canvas—never bothering to actually understand the medium before claiming mastery.

It's the same old story... but there's nothing wrong with it. Not understanding the code is essentially gambling, gambling on the project's integrity. I just want to ask, how many people in our community actually verify the contracts?

That's right, but most people forget after reading and turn around to chase new coins. I've seen too many people get severely scammed by contract backdoors, with their accounts directly frozen, leaving them unable to even cry.

That's right, if you don't understand code, don't touch it. I'm the unlucky guy with the locked address. It's the same old story, opportunities always favor those who are prepared. Why am I the one who isn't ready? MEME coin is really gambling; those who make a profit have already run away. We're all just bagholders.

The part where hundreds of millions are locked up really shocked me. For issues like contract backdoors, you still have to review the code yourself; otherwise, you deserve it.

That's right, not understanding the contract is pure gambling. I've seen too many people suffer losses because of this.

If you don't understand the code, don't play. How many times have you heard this... The ones who truly make money have already gone to learn it themselves.

That was a harsh statement, but it is indeed a painful lesson. If you don't understand the contract, then don't touch it. I agree with this.
