There's an interesting phenomenon: why do most project teams and community participants deliberately avoid discussing the fact that founders quietly exit? Not to mention those CA projects that go live daily in large numbers and quickly zero out.

These failure cases are repeated every day, from fundraising promotion to token launch, and then to complete zeroing out, with the entire cycle happening at a frightening speed. Yet, related discussions are scarce.

What is the reason behind this? Is it information asymmetry, or is everyone tacitly aware? It's worth reflecting on.

Understood. Anyone who dares to speak up is a "project skeptic." This thing is just collective feigned deafness and silence. --- Every day new coins launch and new coins go to zero. Retail investors are still self-hypnotizing with "long-term holding." It cracks me up. --- I can recite the usual fundraising propaganda. It's always the same spiel. And then? Nothing after that. --- Basically, it's a利益链 (interest chain). Everyone wants to cut a piece, no one really cares about the bunch of bagholders behind. --- That's a great question, but I see no one dares to delve deeper in the comments, so that's it. --- Projects run away, founders disappear, communities go silent... This is no longer an anomaly; it's the norm. --- Information asymmetry? No, everyone knows but no one wants to tear this layer of paper. --- I stopped touching CA projects long ago. They move too fast; from promotion to zeroing out, it might take less than a week.

Honestly, this is just a default unspoken rule, pretending not to see it all. Who dares to really dig into these issues? Their own wallets aren't clean either. Every week there's a new project, and by next week it's gone. Who can't see this cycle? Everyone chooses to stay silent. Honestly, this is the most ruthless part of the crypto world.

The story of the "Coin King" running away has long been an open secret; who still dares to poke it? Honestly, I’ve memorized this script of cutting leeks: fundraising, airdrops, rug pulls... cycling repeatedly. It's always the same routine; why are people still rushing in? But on the other hand, where there's profit, there's someone to take over; this game never ends. The problem isn't about avoiding it; it's greed outweighing rationality, each one more capable of spinning stories. This bear market has already cleared out many projects, but new scams are still in the making. The red line has been there for a long time; too many are blind to it.

Honestly, it's just a tacit understanding. Everyone knows, but no one says anything. Smart people have all made money.

Really? One after another hitting zero without anyone saying a word, acting like they can't see it. --- Mutual understanding without words? I think everyone is just betting on who will take over next. --- Funding, launching, running away—this process is almost industrialized. --- I dare not say it, because once I do, I have to admit I've been cut. --- Why avoid talking about it? Because the investors in the next project are right here. --- Repeating the same story every day, I'm really exhausted. --- Information asymmetry? It's just selective blindness. --- No one has held accountable for the projects that hit zero, but new projects still get funding smoothly— isn't that funny? --- Everyone is hoping others will be the bag-holder; they won't be the last ones. --- Project team: I'll run first, you all take your time chatting.
