⚠️⚠️I see too many people talking about 'staking' coins. Actually, they mean 'providing liquidity' at an AMM DEX which comes with risks: impermanent loss. This is not all about wins.

What are AMM DEXs?
See AMM DEX thread (1-16)

What is impermanent loss?

* Took this info from Binance Academy

Impermanent loss happens when you provide liquidity to a liquidity pool, and the price of your deposited assets changes compared to when you deposited them. The bigger this change is, the more you are exposed to impermanent loss.
3/4
It’s called impermanent loss because the losses only become realized once you withdraw your coins from the liquidity pool.

A simple rule, the more volatile the assets are in the pool, the more likely it is that you can be exposed to impermanent loss.
4/4
If you buy a token because you think it will appreciate value very fast. It's not the smartest move to start providing liquidity since you will risk losing value.
