Prominent Dogecoin enthusiast Mishaboar, known for his lead role in the DOGE community, has issued an important warning for crypto investors, particularly those new to the scene.

DOGE enthusiasts were also advised against exchange programs with yield due to their inherent risks and complexities. These programs might promise high returns, but they come with terms that many users do not fully understand, posing unmeasurable risks.
