When I finally understand something, I become calm instead.

That is— the rule makers themselves are cheating.

It's not anger. Not collapse. But a strange sense of clarity—suddenly, this world becomes simpler.

Because once the rules themselves are fake, those who follow the rules will ultimately face only one outcome.

I start to ask myself: an ordinary person, in a game that is essentially unwinnable, what options are left?

After thinking for a moment, the answer is actually only four.

**Type 1: People who don't realize the rules are cheating**

They live the happiest and die the fastest.

This type of person believes in whitepapers, believes in announcements, believes in various KOLs, believes in the so-called "long-term holding." They will repeatedly reassure others in various communities: "Don't worry, this is just a shakeout."

This is the problem I've been arguing with others about all day in the group. Damn, so clear-headed. What about the set of beliefs you were so convinced of? The answer is still waiting for a rebound, right? In a game where you are destined to lose, you're still studying candlestick charts. That's the highest level of skill.

Haha, this is exactly what I see every day—the self-redemption of the little guys. It's too late to wake up now; everyone has already been wiped out. Rule cheating? Bro, are you just realizing this now? You should have gone all in on the pump and dump from the start. Exactly, it's the information gap causing the trouble. This article is really insightful; it hits right at my pain points. Rather than staying awake, it's better to jump on the train quickly—the next wave is the real one. The funniest part is those still chanting mantras, "long-term holding" is just magical words. What you said is right, but the key is how to survive.

This kind of "clarity" looks cool, but I find that the people around me who believe are actually earning more... To be honest, those who are still figuring out how to cheat the rules have already been eliminated. It's the same old rhetoric, but let me ask you, how much are you holding now? Being clear is pretty expensive; I choose to continue being a fool, anyway, making money is the hard truth. It sounds like you're just making excuses for your losses, I don't really buy it. Cheating the rules? More like cheating through information asymmetry; those who understand have already jumped on board.

Haha, it's a bit late to wake up now. I already knew that the rules themselves are a joke. Those people who believe in the white paper really... deserve to be cut. By the way, which of these four types do I belong to? Seems like I have a bit of each. Speaking of which, what are you all waiting for? The game has already started. This article is just a copy-paste argument, saying the same thing every year. I want to see how they break the deadlock. Complaining is pointless.
