Time to wake up before getting scammed yes Defi hype was a hot topic for couple of months and now many of them are scared to invest in this.
A lot of articles has been released on this Defi project, analyst say 99% of these projects are scam. I was wondering like Defi will be the future of crypto but thank God now I came to know it's a real danger for investment.
The frenzy on how to make profit by everyone made DeFi became crazy and foolish. The quick rich developers used that as opportunity to cart away with thousands of Usdt by bringing illogical projects to investors. It was during that period we began to see projects with a page website and A4 lite paper, anonymous team and little supply of token. The road maps were the funny part with zero magnitude and direction. As time goes on, we will be able to identify chaffs from the real ones, all DeFi projects are down as the hype is almost over, it's only NFTs tokens are enjoining the table for now.
The APY was one of the major factors that lure most of investors into DeFi. In a situation where you can stake your tokens with a guarantee of 200% APY will not bring fear.
For example : Token A offer an APY of 400%, you bought public sale at $0.1/token A
The token was stake as soon as tradiing start and price pushed to $1, after a year the price came back to $0.2 which has loss - 80% from all time high (ATH ), once you unstake token A, you will be having 400% of token at 2x.
This is why some investors aren't really bother about the price.
DeFi isn't dead, I believe some will survive based on their fundamental growth and team.
