I've been in this market for many years, and today I want to be honest about something— in the crypto world, the truth often sinks without a trace, while those sweet words fly everywhere.
Recently, the market has started to stir again, with all kinds of voices buzzing. Some are shouting that the bull market is returning, while others rush in saying it's the perfect time to buy the dip. Newcomers are confused, looking left and right, completely unsure of what to do.
Honestly, the tricks here are too deep. Those big V influencers who call signals every day are mostly hiding bad intentions behind the scenes. It sounds like they want to help you get rich, but in reality, they've already quietly built full positions, just waiting for retail investors to enter and push prices higher, so they can turn around and cash out.
Look at the recent frenzy around MEME coins—PEPE skyrocketed 300% in one day, and WIF multiplied 20 times in three days. But if you really analyze the on-chain data, the top 10 wallets hold 70% of the circulating supply. Is this really investing? It’s clearly market manipulation. These things are like gambling on big or small, with odds long since calculated.
And the most incredible part is yet to come. Some are pretending to be a top AI project, creating a clone coin, claiming they have technical backgrounds and unlimited potential. But in the end, investors’ money doesn’t see a single cent; it all becomes bubbles in the desert. This trick of switching flowers and sticks is repeated every year, but somehow, people still fall for it.
Let me tell you some classic scams. Someone tells you a certain project is guaranteed to make money with no losses—most likely, they’ll end up losing everything. If there really were such a thing as a free lunch in crypto, these people would have already mortgaged their houses and taken out loans to buy in. Do they really need to drag you into it?
To avoid losing more, you need to learn how to see through these tricks. The market is never short of temptations, but those who truly make money are often the calm and thoughtful ones.

I'm tired of hearing it all the time, it's always the same spiel. Anyway, the retail investors are still retail investors in the end.
I didn't buy into the PEPE wave. I wasn't tempted when it was rising. Now, looking at the on-chain data, it's all clear.
Sounds nice, but behind it all are a bunch of market manipulators. Why the hell didn't I think of laying an ambush in advance?
That copycat AI coin scheme I saw last year, and they're still scamming this year. These people really have no creativity.
You just need to stay calm and not listen to those hype voices that spread false rumors.

just like mile 20 hits different, watching meme coins pump 300% overnight is where most runners hit the wall. the on-chain data doesn't lie tho—70% in 10 wallets? that's not a market, that's a liquidation waiting to happen. been accumulating since the last cycle, these rug pulls are just noise if you zoom out to fundamentals.

This statement is quite eye-opening. The top ten wallets hold 70% of the circulating supply. In other words, it's like playing hot potato with credit, and retail investors are the unlucky ones who end up taking the last hit.
The PEPE surge was really outrageous. When it doubled 300%, I knew someone was definitely front-running. Looking at the data now, that's indeed the case. Luckily, I have a tough life and didn't put all my assets into it.
There are actually only two options: either you really need to have some brains to discern, or just don't play at all—rather than being cut into a thousand pieces, it's better to honestly save money. That's my current approach; I'm afraid of losses.

I have to give this a thumbs up, but to be honest, most people can't really listen. They just want to hear those motivational stories, and after listening, they turn around and fall into the trap.

You're so right. Over the past few years, that's really how it is. During the PEPE wave, I watched the big whales cash out at the top, while retail investors kept shouting buy buy buy. It's hilarious.

That was pretty harsh, but it's really how it is. I've already muted those calling signals; each one is better at making up stories than the last.
