I’m debating whether crypto lending is worth exploring and could use some real-world perspective. I’ve already been through a traditional lending setup where the borrower defaulted and I ended up losing money, so I’m not exactly eager to repeat that lesson. DeFi sounds appealing on paper, more transparency, smart contracts, fewer middlemen, but I’m skeptical about how it actually holds up when things go wrong. For anyone who’s been lending crypto for a while, does it genuinely feel more controlled than traditional lending, or is it just a different flavor of risk? Not looking for hype, just honest experiences from people who’ve been in it long enough to see both good and bad outcomes. submitted by /u/prinky_muffin [link] [comments]
