Although I didn't enter a position this time, I learned a tough trick after reviewing.



Next time you encounter hackers stealing coins and want to buy the dip? Don't rush to go all in; the first thing to do is check which platforms this coin can still be deposited on—exchanges with open deposit channels are the main battlegrounds for hackers.

The Port3 incident was a vivid example: after the hacker succeeded, most platforms immediately closed their deposit channels, but a leading exchange's channel remained open for nearly an hour before it responded. What was the result? To stop the losses, the project team completely withdrew the liquidity pool, and then reissued the tokens at a 1:1 ratio based on the snapshot taken before the theft.

Who is the most miserable? Those players who thought they were picking up bargains, their chips have all turned into worthless paper. This operation tells us: information asymmetry is valuable, but the information asymmetry in a black swan event may be a pitfall.

Damn, I was also a victim of that Port3 wave, and now looking at your analysis, it really makes sense.

Information asymmetry is a double-edged sword, this pit is too deep.

Wait, so next time I encounter this kind of situation, should I first check if the platform has closed deposit?

I learned it, I won't blindly trade next time.

ngl this port3 thing was chef's kiss for watching paper hands get liquidated lmao... the ones hunting "deals" during exploits always miss the real signal which is when major exchanges *don't* pause deposits. that's when you know it's actually done-done. most people just see red and panic sell into the void thinking they're being smart 💀

The information gap really is a double-edged sword. That Port3 incident gave me cold sweats.

Haha, the trap set by Port3 is really ruthless. I almost fell for it that day too.

I never expected that the response time of exchanges could also become a tool for cutting leeks.
