If you’re going to be involved in the financial world, you’re going to make mistakes. Some can cost you little. Some can cost you big. But the single most disastrous mistake you can make when investing is ‘being Do Kwon.’
‘Being Do Kwon’ can be disastrous to your own wealth and ruinous to the entire financial system. Because ‘being Do Kwon’ means you’re likely to create a flawed financial product like Terra, Luna or Basis Cash. So before you’re tempted to make another financial investment – stop!
