Aave and the DeFi Stress Test: Lessons from the KelpDAO Exploit

$KAITO I swear to God, this market chart, the dog whales are really excellent at shaking out the weak hands!
Pure technical and capital game, with no fundamental support. It's all dog whales calling each other nonsense inside, the K-line movements are as confusing as ghostly symbols, and the retail investors just can't hold on. This kind of market trend is all about seeing who gives in first.
Around 0.4169, you can secretly lay an ambush and go against the dog whales. Whether it succeeds depends on your own reaction speed.
