Hello everyone, how are you doing today? Hope you are having a great time. This will be Week 199, Edition 01 of our Weekly Featured Content.
So, last Saturday we had our hangout as usual, and it was just so much fun that we did not want it to end. We are currently on the first topic for this week, which is “EXPENSIVE”.
But before we proceed with the details of the topic, let us take a look at the winners of the last topic, which was “ONE BIG RISK”.
This topic was geared toward each member of the community, telling us about the major risks that they made in the year 2025. Risks always come with the probability that they could work out, or they could fail abysmally. However, it all boils down to what we are willing to handle, because in the end, the bigger the reward, the bigger the risk.
We got to see that for many people, 2025 was a year of risk-taking, and it worked out for a lot of us. While others had to relearn and find alternate ways. But then, that’s the beauty of it, risk forces us to get creative and take the best approach towards achieving the things we’ve set our sights on. It was an enlightening topic, indeed.
For this topic, we went through every entry post, and that is every post with the #hl-exclusive & #hl-w198e3; tag. And with the number of wonderful posts out there, it was quite difficult to make a selection. But eventually, we did just that. And so, the posts that will be featured not just for their exceptional content, but also for their level of engagement with other authors, will be listed below.
Featured Contents
THE MARKETMAKER RISK DURING “FLASH CRASH” by
This author told us that when you decide to do something, you are inadvertently deciding not to do something else. He told us about the risk involved in the crypto space last year and how the flash crash led to many people losing investments. It was a loss many didn’t see coming, but that’s the risk of being a crypto investor.
FROM THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF: WHY I’M DONE TAKING UNCALCULATED RISKS by
*For this author, he told us that he took a lot of risks in the year 2025, from moving out of his hometown to taking bolder risks as a trader. It has been one big move after another. However, he has opted not to take any such decisions or uncalculated risks anymore. He would be more careful in 2025.”
INVESTMENT RISK: MY PONZI SCHEME STORY by
For this author, she told us that one of the biggest risks she took in 2025 was by investing in a Ponzi scheme. It was meant to be a business decision that would help protect the business, but it didn’t work out as she expected it to. While she made some money, she ended up losing even more of it.
All of the above contents were supported by our official curation account lazy-panda with an extra amount. The first 3 authors will receive 100 ECENCY Points [ Sponsored By Ecency Team (
) ] and 1 $PANDAMINER each as a reward next Monday. These posts were selected because of their special attention to detail and how they followed the topic. There were a lot of good ones out there, but we just could not pick them all.
But then, we have some honorable mentions listed below:
