This kind of operation is seen all the time in the BSC ecosystem. Some project teams are willing to spend money to pump the price, and investors take over 30-40% of the chips. If this deal results in a loss, most people can only swallow it. To be honest, this cycle has happened many times, but some people still don't learn their lesson.

Once they see certain KOLs tweeting, they buy without even checking their holdings, only to get trapped. Then they turn around and curse those big whales who took tens of thousands of dollars from the project—calling them animals—just to vent, while feeling very frustrated inside. Little do they know that in the end, they will lose so much that they exit the market, and those project teams will have long since casually written a small article, changed their alias, and reopened. And you? After a while, your lack of resolve will make you unable to resist going back for a quick lick...

The root of this cycle lies in cognition. Blindly following the trend is a high-risk operation, especially in the BSC ecosystem where liquidity and information asymmetry are extreme. True investment decisions require analyzing fundamentals, the team, and the holding structure, rather than being led astray by a single tweet.

Isn't this just a casino, disguised with a different skin to continue cutting profits. How many times can one person be cut? New retail investors are entering again, the cycle begins. Honestly, only one in ten people who look at the fundamentals are doing well. Poor cognition is how you make money like this. To put it nicely, it's really greed that drives it. BSC is like this; if you want to make quick money, you have to gamble. Every time I vow not to follow the trend, but next time I still get caught up. Project teams smile happily, retail investors cry sadly. Those who understand have already cashed out, right.

This is the true portrayal of the crypto world, it's so heart-wrenching. Basically, it's deserved; blaming others without doing homework. Chasing KOLs every day, where's your brain? This analysis is spot on; BSC is just a cash cow for harvesting retail investors. It's the same old story; when will you learn to remember? Those who understand the holding structure are the real players; everyone else is just here to give away their money.

Really, I've seen this kind of act too many times, the tricks are exactly the same.

Damn, isn't this my blood, sweat, and tears from 2021? Looking back now, I want to punch myself. That time I blindly bought knockoffs, I lost even my underwear, and the KOL is still lively and kicking. Really, jumping into the market without doing homework, no wonder I got sold out. I've jumped into the BSC pit more than once, now I only dare to touch Bitcoin. The project team is indeed sneaky, but there's nothing I can do if I don't use my brain. Looking at the fundamentals? Back then, I didn't think about all that, just wanted to get rich overnight. Now, no one listens to young people when they advise, just like no one could advise me back in the day. Those who go all-in haven't experienced losses; once they do, they become honest.

Wake up, another cycle of cutting leeks has begun.

Damn, same old story. KOL pushes, people get hyped and rush in. Serves them right. --- Or: Basically, it's a knowledge gap. Some people just never learn. --- Or: I already quit BSC’s muddy pond. Too dirty. Now just watching the show. --- Or: Projects run after siphoning funds, retail investors still licking screens. Truly laughable. --- Or: One word: greed. End up losing everything because of this crap.

I hate to see this cycle, but I can't stop people from falling into traps. Following the trend to buy without doing homework, blaming big players when you lose—this logic is truly incredible. Here we go again with a new round of "Next time for sure," politely called optimism, but honestly it's just being clueless. In places like BSC, if you don't look at the holdings structure before acting, you deserve to get cut. Really, some people only learn when they get beaten up; words simply can't persuade them. Cognitive gaps determine everything. Poor people love to play the same game as the rich, but what's the result? Seeing new little guys again, familiar ways of getting cut, an endless tragedy. Instead of blaming the project team, it's better to ask yourself if you've done your homework. After seeing this so many times, you become numb; anyway, next year there will be another batch of bagholders.
