Day 1: "APYs looked like phone numbers—300%, 500%, even 1,200%! I dumped $1k into three ‘safe’ pools. How hard could it be?"
Day 7: Reality check. Impermanent loss hit my ETH/BTC$BTC pool. The 500% yield? Mostly in a shitcoin worth less than toilet paper.
Day 15: Switched strategies—farmed stablecoins (boring but steady). Learned: TVL > APY. The real money’s in protocols with deep liquidity.
Day 30: Final profit? $87.42 (after gas fees). Not life-changing, but the lessons were:
🛑 APY is a trap without tokenomics research.
🔒 Layer 2s > Ethereum$ETH for low-cap farming.
🤖 Automation tools (like DeFi Saver) saved my sanity.
Verdict: Yield farming isn’t free money—it’s a part-time job. But with the right filters, it’s worth the gamble.
