web3 dudes think they know everything. Once they start making money on metamask or engaging with DeFi, they act like they’ve reached the pinnacle of knowledge. I know a guy who lost a ton just using Metamask. Crazy stuff.
Right? Like how can they mentor anyone if they can’t even properly store their crypto? Hardware wallets are a must for safety. You can use non-custodial wallets for quick stuff, but real security comes from hardware.
For sure. It’s wild how some people forget that crypto's foundation is all about being trustless. Just because someone has a big following doesn’t mean they know what they’re talking about. People need to remember the basics.
Exactly! I see so many folks acting like they’re crypto experts after reading a couple of articles. I relate to what you said; those who truly know their stuff usually stay quiet while the newbies make all the noise.
I can’t even with this whole mentor thing. Why would I follow someone whose only proof of success is a flashy lifestyle? Some investors are just too scared to make their own choices.
Nobody has all the answers, but some people get so cocky when they make a bit of cash. They stop listening to anyone else. Let them learn the hard way if they won’t take advice about safety.
Seriously. It’s just not smart to take a web3 guy as a mentor if they don’t even know how to secure assets. Safety should be the priority, even before making profits.
You’re right, good advice usually comes from various sources. I wouldn’t mind learning from different people, but sticking to just one opinion can lead to trouble.
So many people are just hopping on the airdrop train and calling themselves web3 experts. They might have some knowledge, but a lot of them are just in it for the quick bucks.
True. Metamask and other small wallets are a step down from hardware wallets. But even a hardware wallet won’t save you if you’re clueless about what you’re approving.
Airdrops are a mixed bag now. Some are decentralized, others are not. The term web3 guy is kinda outdated because so many just want attention and followers.
What’s your suggestion then? I’m open to learning from mentors who actually elevate my knowledge. There’s a wealth of info in the web3 space if you know how to sift through it.
