The recent viral posts about lending arbitrage are really just one套路.

Those articles about how a certain stablecoin project borrows and arbitrages, if you look closely, you'll find that the content is basically the same—highly similar. The underlying logic is actually quite straightforward: people posting this content are earning activity rewards or traffic revenue, and you need to see through that.

Before participating in any DeFi project, ask yourself a few questions. Why are they publishing this article? What is their real purpose? What role do you play in this ecosystem? Where exactly does the money you earn come from?

Many people jump in without thinking these through, only to find out later that they are actually being exploited—you think you're a participant, but in reality, you've become a link in someone else's profit chain. Whether it's lending or arbitrage, those projects that keep bombarding your information stream, it's best to be cautious, study the game rules thoroughly before deciding whether to get on board.

I've seen through this trick a long time ago. To put it simply, they make money from traffic fees, and we just go to take the bait. It's obvious at a glance—copy-paste tutorials. Anyone who believes them gets taken advantage of. Wake up, everyone. The money you earn is just their tool for cutting losses. Honestly, I skip these kinds of articles directly; they're not interesting. It's always the same routine—just changing the coin name to continue fooling people. The problem is, everyone knows this trick, yet some still rush in, and I feel sorry for them. I just want to know how much these writers have earned themselves. Do they dare to make it public?

I've been tired of these copy-paste articles for a long time, really. Really, it's obvious at a glance, the old tricks of harvesting retail investors. Who the hell still believes these? Wake up. This time I'm just an observer, guaranteed to make a profit.

It's all just tricks to fleece the little guys; I've seen through it long ago. Arbitrage articles are everywhere, and the content is all the same—it's truly incredible. Isn't this just a traffic farm? Who would still fall for it? Good question, but honestly, most people don't even think about it. Those who get caught in the trap are always the ones eager to get rich quickly. Just look at projects that bombard you repeatedly; you know there's no good news. You need to understand your position clearly; don't become a bag holder out of confusion. DeFi is really like this—surface-level arbitrage, but behind the scenes, it's just cutting losses.

It's so realistic. Those copied and pasted arbitrage articles make me want to vomit. Bombarded every day, and it's all the same rhetoric. The tricks of cutting leeks have upgraded, indeed. Still thinking you're a participant? Actually, you're already prey. Wake up, everyone. There are no pies falling from the sky.

It's the same old trick, I'm done. Honestly, copying the same template over and over again, as if afraid others don't know there's money to be made. The problem is, how many people have really stopped to think about these questions? Most rush in with their minds blank. I think, this is just like the NFT craze back in the day—change the concept, change the currency, but the套路 never changes. Human nature is like that. Fortunately, I've been through it before. Now I just scroll past posts like this.
