⚠️ CRITICAL: READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY
ALL CONTENT PROVIDED BY DEFI UNIVERSITY IS STRICTLY FOR EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
- NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE: Nothing on this platform, including courses, live calls, live streams, community discussions, or any other content, constitutes financial, investment, tax, legal, or trading advice.
- NOT A REGISTERED ADVISOR: DeFi University and its instructors are NOT registered investment advisors, broker-dealers, financial planners, or licensed professionals. We do not hold any securities licenses or financial certifications that authorize us to provide personalized financial advice.
- NO BUY/SELL RECOMMENDATIONS: Any discussion of specific cryptocurrencies, tokens, DeFi protocols, trading strategies, or investment approaches during live calls, streams, or in course materials is purely educational. These discussions do NOT constitute recommendations to buy, sell, or hold any asset.
- EDUCATIONAL EXAMPLES ONLY: When we discuss specific projects, tokens, or strategies, we are providing educational examples to illustrate concepts. These examples should NOT be interpreted as endorsements or recommendations.
- NO PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES: Past performance, historical examples, or case studies discussed do NOT guarantee future results. Any performance figures mentioned are for illustrative purposes only.
- DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH (DYOR): You are solely responsible for conducting your own research and due diligence before making any financial decisions. Always verify information from multiple sources.
- CONSULT PROFESSIONALS: Before making any investment or financial decision, consult with qualified, licensed professionals including financial advisors, tax professionals, and legal counsel who can assess your individual situation.
- PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY: You are solely and entirely responsible for your own investment and financial decisions. DeFi University, its owners, employees, instructors, and affiliates assume NO responsibility or liability for any losses you may incur.
6. Risk Disclosure
🚨 IMPORTANT RISK WARNING
CRYPTOCURRENCY AND DEFI INVESTMENTS CARRY SUBSTANTIAL RISK. YOU MAY LOSE YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
- EXTREME VOLATILITY: Cryptocurrency markets are highly volatile and unpredictable. Prices can fluctuate dramatically within minutes, hours, or days. You could lose a significant portion or all of your investment value.
- SMART CONTRACT RISKS: DeFi protocols operate on smart contracts that may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or exploits. These technical failures can result in total loss of funds.
- HACKING AND SECURITY RISKS: DeFi protocols and cryptocurrency platforms are frequent targets of hackers. Exploits, hacks, and security breaches can result in complete loss of deposited funds.
- RUG PULLS AND SCAMS: The DeFi space contains fraudulent projects and scams. Projects can disappear overnight, taking user funds with them.
- IMPERMANENT LOSS: Providing liquidity to automated market makers (AMMs) exposes you to impermanent loss, which can result in receiving less value than if you had simply held your assets.
- REGULATORY RISKS: Cryptocurrency regulations vary by jurisdiction and are constantly evolving. Regulatory changes could impact the value, legality, or accessibility of your holdings.
- LIQUIDITY RISKS: Some tokens and DeFi positions may become illiquid, making it difficult or impossible to exit your position at a fair price.
- NO INSURANCE OR PROTECTION: Unlike traditional financial accounts, cryptocurrency holdings are generally NOT insured by any government agency (such as FDIC or SIPC).
- TOTAL LOSS POSSIBLE: You should only invest money that you can afford to lose entirely. Never invest funds needed for essential expenses, emergencies, or retirement.
BY USING DEFI UNIVERSITY'S SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THESE RISKS AND ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR FINANCIAL DECISIONS.
