Imagine this: casually take a screenshot of a $1 million 2025 profit chart and post it on crypto social media. What happens? A large number of retail investors believe it without question and even follow suit. This is a true reflection of the current trading community—almost no ability to verify data, but the speed of chasing trends is astonishing. Misinformation and false achievements are rampant, yet most people choose to turn a blind eye.

Haha, that's why I always say don't trust screenshots. Too many people's IQs are being rubbed on the ground. Really, a single image can be used to scam people. Our circle is indeed completely rotten. Uploading a screenshot of 1 million profit, and the bottom comments are all "How do I do it," hilarious.

Haha, just look at the picture to pay the bill. This is the current state of the crypto world. --- It's truly incredible; a single picture can scam a bunch of people. --- I don't even know who to criticize anymore. Is the person posting the pictures too ruthless or are the followers too naive? --- Verification? It doesn't exist in the crypto world. Only speed and luck matter. --- Every time I see these screenshots, I want to laugh. Why are people still rushing in? --- The cost of faking is so low and the returns are so high. Who wouldn't do it? --- Basically, they just want to make money without thinking, no wonder they get scammed. --- The atmosphere in this circle is like this; it won't get better. --- Retail investors' minds are all eaten by FOMO. Even obvious traps are jumped into. --- A screenshot of 1 million profit, and the comments below are all "How to follow the trend." So funny.

That's incredible. A single image can harvest a batch of IQ taxes. This circle is completely rotten.

I'm also a victim. I've been scammed at least three times by these fake images, and I even took screenshots to save them... --- Honestly, I often can't tell what's real or fake myself. I know it's a trap in my heart, but I still can't help but take a peek. --- That's how it is. Retail investors deserve to be cut, because we just aren't smart enough. --- The scary thing isn't that someone is faking, but that we really believe it... I'm one of those people. --- Every time I see these screenshots, I want to curse myself, but next time I still click to open them. --- Rather than saying retail investors are being scammed, it's better to say we actively want to be scammed. At least we can dream.
