#预测市场 Seeing this Polymarket copycat bot, I have to say: this is exactly why we should stay cautious of "convenience" tools.

Developers repeatedly commit code on GitHub, deliberately hiding malicious packages to steal private keys — this is nothing new. But this time, they’re riding the hype of prediction markets to lure users. Imagine you just wanted to automate copying trades to make quick money, and the moment the program starts, it reads your .env file, exposing your wallet private key directly. Those seemingly clever "shortcuts" are often the easiest traps.

Having navigated the blockchain space for years, I’ve seen too many people fall for "convenience tools." Copy trading itself carries risks, and adding the trust risk of third-party programs stacks the danger even higher. Any automation tool that asks for your private key or wallet connection should make you ask three questions: Do I trust this author? Is the code open source? Has it been audited?

Prediction markets are hot, but don’t let FOMO cloud your judgment. Staying safe and long-term is more valuable than chasing quick gains.
