Here's the thing about those "legendary" Solana traders everyone worships - they're not trading geniuses. They're audience farmers.
Their playbook? Simple but brutal. Drop real liquidity at key price points to build credibility. Then manufacture fake depth through coordinated shilling - soft whispers in DMs, hard pumps in public channels. All while they're scalping 25% gains on repeat.
Once the liquidity dries up from retail getting wrecked, they vanish. Rinse and repeat with the next token.
I've watched this cycle enough times to know - there's nobody in this game worth praising. Just different levels of exit liquidity architects.

I cracked open, I already knew this trap... just didn't wake up to it sooner.

The case is cracked, this is what I've been saying all along, all these celebrity traders are frauds.

No way, are we really catching a falling knife for these people?
---
I'm tired of this routine, it's the same script every time.

No wonder my money always loses, it turns out I've been played for a sucker.

Well said, the Solana ecosystem relies on these people to play newbies for suckers.

It's too heart-wrenching, all the "legendary traders" I know are just this kind of stuff.

Damn, I've seen through this trap long ago, just short of naming names.

This is what I've always wanted to say, once you see through it, it loses its meaning.

ngl the "exit liquidity architect" framing hits different... but let's be honest, this is just protocol-level governance failure playing out on-chain. when's the market gonna fork away from these theater actors? 🤷

To be honest, I've seen through this long ago. These people are just market makers in disguise, nothing mysterious about it.
I've seen this trick too many times, I'm really fed up with it.
Stop being fans, they're all the same.

To be honest, I've seen through it for a long time; those Sol celebrities are just harvesters, and with a bit of packaging and rhetoric, they can play people for suckers.
