Hope this isn't too weird a question but I'm still fairly new here and just trying to learn. Recently got laid off (honestly was already planning to leave anyway) and I have some savings set aside.

For a while now I've been interested in getting into crypto liquidity pools mainly because I like the idea of having more control over my own finances.

But I keep noticing that even people who've been in the space for years are still taking losses, which honestly makes me nervous, especially given my current situation.

What is behind that and is it something you can avoid or manage? Sorry if I'm coming across as too risk-averse lol
