Prominent Dogecoin enthusiast Mishaboar, a leading figure in the DOGE community, has cautioned crypto investors, especially newcomers, against the perils of "earn" programs and storing substantial cryptocurrency funds on exchanges.
Mishaboar emphasized that during past bull markets, many overlooked warnings about unstable platforms, resulting in substantial losses. Even reputable exchanges like FTX have experienced failures.
