Social engineering is when scammers manipulate people’s emotions (fear, greed, curiosity, trust) to trick them into giving personal info, money, or access. It’s a major cybersecurity threat and very common in crypto.
Common types:
Phishing: Fake emails/websites pretending to be real companies.
Scareware: Fake virus warnings to make you install malware.
Baiting: Free offers (files, gifts, USBs) that contain viruses.
In crypto:
New investors often get scammed through fake giveaways, airdrops, Ponzi schemes, or panic messages.
How to stay safe:
Don’t trust “too good to be true” offers
Avoid suspicious links & attachments
Use antivirus and update software
Enable 2FA security
Always research before investing
👉 Social engineering hacks people’s minds, not computers.
Binance co-founder and CEO Yi He said that when the FUD in the market finally goes quiet, an upward move will begin.
Looking at history, this is true: major rallies and the transition from bear to bull markets never announce themselves. They arrive silently — and then suddenly.
Individual investors vs. fund managers (people investing other people’s money) In extreme markets or bear markets, the biggest difference is this:
Survival vs. responsibility.
Individual investors can wait. They don’t face redemptions, margin calls from clients, or career risk. If they manage risk well, time is their ally.
Fund managers must answer to investors. Drawdowns trigger withdrawals, mandates force selling, and even being “right later” doesn’t save you if you’re wrong now.
In brutal markets, the game isn’t about who’s smartest — it’s about who can stay in the game the longest.
