Recently, I tried to deploy on both the SOL chain and BSC chain simultaneously, hoping to catch cross-chain arbitrage opportunities, but ended up making a mess of myself.

Initially, I made $2,000 on BSC and was very excited. Then I jumped into a few hot projects on the SOL chain, but most of them turned out to be rug pulls. In the end, the account results were—$2,000 loss on the SOL chain, $2,000 profit on BSC, basically breaking even. Although I didn't lose the principal, all the time and effort were wasted.

This experience can be considered as paying tuition. Spreading your focus across multiple chains' hot spots often results in not mastering any of them well, making it easy to become prey for big players. It's better to stick to the areas you're good at and focus your efforts there. Greed is especially detrimental in the crypto world.

A typical greed problem: after making some profit, I wanted to go all-in on the next one, but I was brutally taught a lesson by SOL.

Greed kills, especially in the crypto world... Running two chains simultaneously is just digging your own grave.

This is the cost of greed; all the earnings were wasted on water. There are indeed many pitfalls on SOL, don't spend recklessly. Both chains couldn't handle the workload and ended up being exploited? Paying tuition is better than losing everything; at least now you understand. Rugs are truly hard to prevent; it's better to just focus on one chain.

This is what you call greediness, swallowing an elephant with a snake. How dare you touch those SOL projects... Cross-chain arbitrage sounds good, but in reality, it's just feeding whales. Try to see how many can come out alive. Hey, isn't it more亏 if you break even like this? Wasting gas fees too. I told you, specializing in one chain can be profitable, but insisting on picking up trash everywhere, and in the end, not only do you not get the trash, but you also get poked. The tuition fee for the crypto circle is expensive, but at least this time you see clearly, better than those who keep messing around.

Arbitrage dream shattered on SOL, this is the cost of greed --- The 2000 earned on BSC was immediately eaten up by SOL, really disappointing --- A typical case of multi-chain FOMO, ended up not catching the meat on either side --- Understandable, distraction is just giving big players the dish, still need to find your own rhythm --- The tuition paid is not in vain, at least not losing money, many people have lost everything --- Feels like every chain wants to play but none truly understand it, that's the crypto world --- The water on SOL is too deep, nine out of ten hot projects are traps, you still need to sharpen your instincts

The typical greed problem has struck again, this is the most common way to die in the crypto world. --- Even if you get rug pulled, you can still break even, which means your luck isn't too bad, just a bit distracted. --- Running two chains simultaneously, ending up with one profit and one loss, perfect hedge. That move is brilliant. --- That's right, focusing on one chain and mastering it thoroughly is much better than blindly scrambling around. --- I've tried this method too, and in the end, I found that sticking to one ecosystem is the most stable. --- Cross-chain arbitrage sounds high-end, but it's really just mining for big players. --- That's why ten people trading ten different chains all end up losing.

It's another story of "getting inflated after making a profit." This time, paying tuition wasn't a waste. The rug pull lies right here; spreading energy across multiple chains makes it impossible to hold, just admit defeat. The cost of being frantic is that you end up with nothing and lose everything. Why do hot projects on SOL always seem to hit a snag? Truly impressive. Returning to one's area of expertise is the right move; greed is indeed the number one killer in the crypto world. Not losing money this time is good luck; if this continues, you'll eventually get harvested.
