To make matters worse, I traded 0.8 BNB for 3537 ATLAS ( wormhole tokens ), which means I spent about $250 worth of BNB and got $25 worth of ATLAS tokens back ! Yikes !
When I wanted to know WTF happen here guess what I got ? PANCAKESWAP OFFERS NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT !! Great
So I had to talk to my buddies at Exodus and they explained to me the Price Impact was set to 85% because it's a low liquidity token, so in theory, I ended up paying 85% more than the market value, however ! I think you would agree I ended up paying nearly 10 times more !!!
And you wonder why DeFi hasn't gone mainstream yet ! Can you imagine how would the average person react when they learn they lost $250 on a stupid purchase just because of a technicality ?
Yes, shit happens but in reality the fault would still be on us individuals if we don't take any responsibilities over our own money. You may disagree with me but I always do more research over my investments especially when I am trying to buy the token on DEXs.
