Top universities' investment decisions have also taken a big hit. It is reported that a well-known university once followed the trend by adopting a Nobel laureate's crypto investment strategy, resulting in losses of over $6 billion during the crypto market downturn, and subsequently had to cut back on liberal arts programs to make up the shortfall.



Interestingly, this university's total assets are approximately $21 billion. If a $6 billion loss truly prompted a major adjustment in academic focus, the underlying financial logic is worth questioning. On one hand, it reflects that even top-tier institutions find it difficult to manage the high volatility of the crypto market; on the other hand, it exposes the dangers of over-concentrating high-risk investments in asset allocation.

This case serves as a reminder to institutional investors: celebrity endorsements do not equal a safety cushion. While crypto assets offer great opportunities, risk management and position control are always the first lessons.

Nobel laureates also face setbacks, what does this say... Following the trend is death The crypto world is too deep, even celebrity halos can't block it 6 billion loss cuts liberal arts? This logic seems a bit absurd This is the price of greed; diversification is really important Playing with coins depends on yourself, don't believe all the sweet talk from big shots

Nobel laureates are not market prediction machines; following the trend will cost you tuition. --- $6 billion loss and cutting liberal arts? That logic really doesn't hold... --- Celebrity endorsements in the crypto world are just a joke; investments without risk control are all gambling. --- Top institutions crashing indicates that no one in the crypto market can fully grasp it; proper position management is the key. --- It's funny that universities still blame academic adjustments for this; they should really reflect on their investment processes. --- This tells you that even smart people can stumble in high-risk assets. --- With a total asset of 21 billion, are you still afraid of 6 billion? Either the numbers are fake or the decision-making is truly poor. --- The biggest trap in the crypto world is the celebrity effect; those following the trend will all pay tuition. --- Crypto investments offer high returns but also high risks; if you lack risk control awareness, don't get involved. --- Universities have become leek farmers, and they even have to use students' futures as collateral...

Nobel laureates also fail, which shows that you shouldn't believe anything, only trust your own risk management

Nobel laureates also suffer losses, this is the most ironic part --- 60 billion loss directly cuts liberal arts? That's funny, it shows that insiders have long wanted to do this --- Celebrity effect is really so powerful, even top universities can't defend against it --- The outcome of following the trend in investments, the same throughout history and across the world --- So, no matter how smart you are, you can't outsmart the market --- Liberal arts got caught in the crossfire, who to blame? Still have to blame investment decisions --- Can't even withstand a 60 billion pullback with 21 billion? The logic is really absurd --- This move is a textbook-level negative example --- Cryptocurrency ultimately still has too much gambling element --- Top institutions also have to pay tuition fees, no one can escape this disaster

Nobel laureates also get caught up in scandals; this is just outrageous. Greed is truly the root of all evil... 6 billion just gets cut off on a whim. Honestly, I think this university never had a clear plan from the start. The celebrity effect really needs to die; jumping into the crypto world just deserves to get wrecked.

Haha, Nobel laureates also get into trouble, this is unbelievable --- 60 billion is gone just like that, even if you have money, it doesn't help --- Celebrity effect, huh, it can be deadly --- No wonder everyone now says not to follow the trend blindly, this lesson is too costly --- Speaking of 210 billion, it's still so fragile? Feels like there are issues with financial management --- The pitfalls in the crypto world are so deep, no matter how famous someone is, they can't dig their way out --- What does this show? Even elites can't handle the crypto market --- All liberal arts projects are being cut, this decision is really hasty --- So, the key is risk control; no investment is completely safe

Nobel laureates also face setbacks, this is going to be interesting haha --- 6 billion lost, and they’re still cutting liberal arts? Something doesn’t feel right --- Celebrities endorse and dare to go all in, their brains are really... --- University investing is like gambling, can’t smile about it --- Heard of being cut after following the trend, but never heard of being cut like this after following the trend --- I just can’t understand this logic, really --- The crypto market is like this, it’s the same for everyone --- Losing 6 billion and then cutting liberal arts, they’re just shifting blame --- Even experts hit pitfalls sometimes, risk management is the most important

Nobel laureates also get into trouble, showing that there are no absolute big shots in the crypto world. --- A $6 billion loss, and they cut liberal arts? What's going on, is all the money burned on the chain? --- Now it's all good, even the top-tier copycat investors can face a blowout. Who can we trust as retail investors? --- Celebrity endorsements are really the biggest trap. Looks like I need to learn to read K-line charts myself. --- How can $21 billion in total assets be hit so hard by $6 billion? This university's risk control is truly slack to the extreme. --- Wake up, everyone. High education ≠ high financial IQ. This case is really well written. --- Another story of "I don't understand but I trust the big shots." Exactly. --- It's hard to hold, the crypto world only needs one cycle of decline to expose many problems. --- Position control is always the first lesson. This is spot on, but unfortunately too few people know it.
