The founder of Backpack trading platform recently put forward an interesting point of view — the so-called "new finance" actually hasn't improved traditional finance at all; instead, it has hollowed out the original protection mechanisms. He pointed out that these new models have a common flaw: they look like stocks but offer nothing — no dividends, no voting rights, and not even investor protections like SIPC. In other words, they borrow the shell of financial products but dismantle all the safeguards. How far this model can go is indeed worth pondering.

Remember, the most important thing when losing money is to stay sober... This statement now sounds really hitting home. The founder of Backpack is right—new finance is just an empty radish, and we need to stay alert.

It's obvious at a glance, this is the true face of shell financials. Only seeking profits without responsibility, who would want that?

Financial shelling is really clever; after enjoying the benefits of the shell, they run away. What about protection? None. Isn't this just naked harvesting?

Isn't it just a wolf in sheep's clothing, old wine in a new bottle? The tricks are always evolving.

Exactly right, this is the most awkward part of Web3 right now—borrowing a shell without borrowing security.

Ha, isn't this just a shell wrapped in Web3? Wanting it all, and still refusing to give. That's a good point. How can anyone think this thing is more transparent than traditional finance... Really, it looks legit, but a quick check shows it's all empty underneath. That's why I always say that regulation coming is actually a good thing—at least someone needs to oversee these guys. It's satisfying to complain, but what about this guy's Backpack model? Wait, so what exactly are these tokens we're buying now?
