- No markdown (so plain text, no formatting like **, *, #? Actually hashtags are allowed at end, they are part of text. No markdown formatting like bold, italics, code blocks.)
- 150-200 words.
- Warning-style tone (serious but not panic-inducing).
- Give 3 clear actionable steps.
- End with: "Share this with someone new to crypto — it could save them!"
- Final line: "#CryptoStrategy #TokenomicsExplained #CryptoSecurity #StaySafe"
- Must start directly with first word, no preamble.
We need to count words. Let's aim for ~170 words.
We need to include 3 actionable steps, likely bullet points but no markdown bullet points? Could use numbers with periods. That's okay plain text.
We must not use markdown, so no bullet points with hyphens? Hyphens are okay but might be considered markdown? Probably fine. Safer to use "1." "2." "3." lines.
Word count: Let's draft ~170 words.
Count words manually.
Draft:
"Warning: many DeFi projects promise impossible yields while hiding a classic Ponzi structure. Look for these red flags before committing funds.
1. Verify the revenue model. Legitimate protocols generate income from real activity — fees, lending interest, or service charges. If the only source of returns is new investor deposits, walk away.
2. Check tokenomics transparency. A credible project publishes a clear emission schedule, vesting periods, and audit reports. Opaque supply mechanics or unlimited minting authority are major warning signs.
3. Test withdrawal flexibility. Try moving a small amount out of the platform. Delayed or blocked withdrawals, mandatory lock‑ups, or penalties for early exit indicate the operator is recycling capital rather than earning it.
