Kindness is a virtue, but expecting the world to reward you with returns is naive.

The real world is driven by incentive mechanisms, power structures, and information asymmetry, not moral symmetry. Of course, be kind to others, but also stay vigilant. Set boundaries and gain strength through integrity.

Unwise kindness is like creating vulnerabilities for yourself. In this market, trust is precious, but blind trust is often the greatest risk.

That's right, the scammer's routine in the crypto world is like this—posing as benevolent while secretly setting traps for you. Information asymmetry is money; those who understand have already jumped on board. Blind trust? Then just wait to be harvested by the Ponzi scheme, I've seen it many times. Being kind is good, but you need to have good judgment; otherwise, you're just giving money to the project team. This phrase should be posted on every novice's trading app to prevent being scammed again. Setting boundaries is crucial; otherwise, emotional debts are more deadly than smart contract vulnerabilities. That's how the market works—those with high emotional intelligence make money, while those with low emotional intelligence become chives.

Having suffered too many losses, I realize that kindness should be matched with intelligence; otherwise, you're just setting yourself up.

That's a great point. I've fallen for this before and got cut off for nothing.

You're absolutely right; having experienced losses gives you the most say... Really, kindness is not a synonym for weakness; it must be paired with brains. Only after being betrayed do you understand what it means to set boundaries. This world is about making money from information gaps; naive people are the ones waiting for rewards. When others exploit your kindness and morally blackmail you, they are truly ungrateful wolves. Wisdom + kindness is the top configuration; pure kindness is the favorite of capitalists. The harsh words are spoken, and life must go on, but don't be foolish enough to leave a back door open for everyone.

Well... that's true, but the real problem is that most people can't tell what "wise kindness" really means. Honestly falling flat a few times is the only way to understand that this world is a game of information gaps. Naivety isn't scary; what's scary is never learning.

Oh, you're absolutely right. I've learned this lesson after being taken advantage of too many times for my kindness. There is no free lunch in the world; if you need to be tough, then be tough. Kindness is good, but don't let yourself become someone else's stepping stone. These days, trust is indeed the most valuable, but it's also the easiest to be exploited; you need to be more cautious. Unconditional kindness is like self-destructive behavior; reality is so damn cruel. Information asymmetry is wealth; don't be fooled by appearances. I completely agree. You can't be too transparent as a person; you need to leave yourself a way out.
