I have some UNI, with a position ratio of 1.56%. Honestly, it's not worth mentioning; most of the time I choose to ignore it. But recently, the marketing accounts on the square have been too rampant, which is exhausting to watch. Beginners should understand one principle: any recommendation seen on the square should not be taken too seriously.



A square where anyone can register with just an email is filled with people speaking with purpose. Those who promote a certain coin every day generally fall into two categories: either they are holders of high-leverage futures long positions, watching short-term fluctuations of 0.5% or even 0.1% to buy low and sell high; or they are purely marketing accounts. Who among the real spot traders would boast every day on the square? When do genuine coin hoarders talk more? As a result, the more retail investors there are, the more tragic their deaths. Don't expect retail investors to pump the market; more people won't help. This is not about trading volume or capital size; frankly, it's manipulation behind the system.

As for the so-called support and resistance levels of altcoins, it's all nonsense. The so-called KOLs on the square are all armchair strategists. If following them could make money, the crypto world would have disappeared long ago. Following their operations, the most likely outcome is losing everything.

Let's talk about the two leading DeFi projects, UNI and AAVE. First, about UNI—its token mechanism, to put it bluntly, is "dishonest." From the beginning, this protocol was not designed to profit from tokens; it is essentially an exchange, and issuing tokens was just airdrops. The 2% annual inflation plus a fixed unlock of 20 million directly lock the price. Only 630 million tokens have been released so far, with 270 million still waiting to be unlocked. Data from certain platforms is accurate, and major platform customer service has confirmed this, but third-party data has issues. All these inflation and unlock schedules depend entirely on the project team's mood; marketing accounts never mention this—they obviously don't want you to know.

Looking at AAVE, its mechanism is much more transparent, and its market cap is less than half of UNI's. If you have positions in DeFi, you might consider switching to AAVE as a substitute; there's no need to put all your chips into UNI.

Final advice: next time you see marketing accounts on the square, don't just block them; report first. Then leave a comment marking them as (marketing account). This can at least make beginners suspicious and not so easily be led by the rhythm. As I write this, I see a new batch of marketing accounts popping up on the square again—truly hard to guard against.
UNI3,66%
AAVE5,2%

Honestly, marketing accounts on the square are like a plague in the crypto world, constantly annoying to watch. The 270 million UNI tokens haven't been unlocked yet, only the brave would go all-in on that. AAVE is indeed much more transparent, that's how I see it too. Reporting marketing accounts is a brilliant move; more newbies need to learn a lesson.

After a long time, I finally realized that this guy is dissing marketing accounts, but he himself is also marketing AAVE. Interesting. What’s the point of a cheap substitute? The problem with UNI isn’t something AAVE can solve. Transparency in mechanism doesn’t mean the coin is valuable. The ones in the square who blow every day definitely deserve to be reported, but the logic of this article isn’t necessarily clever either. 2.7 million tokens are about to be unlocked. This data needs to be calculated carefully. If it drops suddenly, UNI will be ruined. That’s right, retail investors can’t move the market, so why are large holders still accumulating this? It’s self-contradictory. AAVE is transparent, but its ecosystem activity can’t compare to UNI. Don’t dismiss one just because the other looks taller. Still the same advice: don’t listen to anyone, including the author of this article. Check the data on-chain yourself.

This guy is right, the people in the square are really outrageous, constantly hyping a certain coin to skyrocket, and when you look closer, they're all marketing accounts. UNI is indeed quite tricky, and there are still many chips waiting to be dumped, no wonder the price has been stagnant. I worry about the newbies following those KOLs buying coins every day; if this continues, they'll suffer huge losses, it's not a dream. AAVE's transparent mechanism really attracts me; it's much more reliable than UNI's tricks. Reporting marketing accounts in the square is a tactic I should try in the future, it's better than watching them continue to lure newbies.

There's really no need to follow the crowd at the square; the UNI mechanism does have some issues. --- AAVE's transparency truly outshines UNI by a mile. Considering a replacement isn't a bad idea. --- Report, report, report—don't let newcomers keep getting exploited. --- 2.7 million tokens are still waiting to be dumped. How can the price go up? --- The daily hype from KOLs suddenly reversing their stance—this routine is really annoying. --- The marketing accounts at the square outnumber locusts; it's hard to guard against them. --- I can't even bother to look at a 1.56% position. I really respect this mindset. --- Don't follow the trend. True HODLers never brag in the square.

Damn, those marketing accounts in the square are really annoying, like a broken record every day. To be honest, the AAVE mechanism is much cleaner than UNI. Those 270 million UNI tokens waiting to be unlocked, how high can the price go? Blocking is not as good as reporting. This trick is pretty good; beginners are indeed easily exploited. UNI is just like that now, there's nothing to fuss over. AAVE is truly the king of DeFi. The KOLs in the square are all late to realize, it's better to think for yourself than to rely on them to make money. +1, report marketing accounts, mark it in the comment section, it can really save many new investors. This guy explained it very clearly, the crypto world has been ruined by these marketing accounts.

The marketing accounts in the square are really incredible, always thinking about cutting leeks every day. Luckily, I learned to filter them long ago. Well said, the UNI mechanism is indeed annoying, and there are still many unresolved issues. Following KOLs to operate is basically about sending money, that's an iron law. Compared to trusting the square, it's better to trust your own judgment; anyway, none of their predictions have been accurate. This position allocation is quite particular; holding such a small amount of UNI doesn't require much worry. The problem is that beginners are easily brainwashed. AAVE's transparency is indeed much better than UNI's, worth considering. Reporting + marking in the square, this combo still works a bit, at least it can wake up some people.

Marketing accounts promoting short-selling squares should all be in prison, it's really annoying UNI's 270 million tokens are waiting to be dumped, yet some still praise it every day AAVE is indeed more honest, but the market just loves to be cut I've reported it so many times, but reports are useless, brother The square is just a big casino, winning or losing all depends on luck Spot traders have long been silent, those who talk a lot just want to cut you
