Spot on. The longer the gap between where money originates and where it gets deployed, the higher your fraud risk becomes. It's a simple principle but catches a lot of people off guard in crypto.

Really, the longer the money circulation chain, the greater the risk. This trick is especially effective in the crypto world; so many people have fallen for it here.

Yeah, this logic is really spot on. Anyone who has stepped into crypto can feel it... The farther the money goes, the less transparent it becomes, and the easier it is to get cut.

ngl, this is the easiest trap to fall into in the crypto world... the longer the liquidity chain, the greater the risk. Too many people don't realize this until they get caught off guard.

The more money circulates in the circle, the greater the chance of getting cut. This is really not a hard principle to understand, but these people always have to suffer losses before they realize it.

Old crypto veterans see through it but still play. No advice, just sharing the pitfalls I've stepped into. --- This point is understood... The less transparent the flow of money, the easier it is to be exploited. This trick is especially common in the crypto world, and many people have fallen for it.

This logic is spot on, but almost all crypto industry failures follow this pattern... The farther the money goes, the greater the risk, and many people just can't react in time.

actually ngl, the trust assumptions here are doing a lot of heavy lifting and nobody talks about it. like sure, longer chains = more fraud surface, but what if we're just terrible at auditing the intermediaries in the first place? that's the real computational overhead nobody's pricing in
