A certain cryptocurrency's market cap was only 10,000 at noon, but now it has skyrocketed to 10 million. You can see all kinds of opinions in the comment section—some boast about articles hitting over a hundred million views, some talk about Trump concepts, and others say how special it is to use USD1 as the base pool... In fact, these reasons are all after-the-fact explanations; once it rises, any story can be attached to it.

Where is the real problem? It’s that there are whales behind the scenes manipulating the market. The rapid surge of such coins is essentially the main players speculating—going from accumulating funds to pumping up the price and then harvesting profits, following a complete process. Those endless stories and concepts are, frankly, just tactics to attract retail investors to take the bait. Anyone who understands people knows that these kinds of dramas are played out year after year in the digital asset market.

It's the same old trick, retail investors are still making up stories --- From 10,000 at noon to 10 million at night? Wake up, everyone, this is the standard rhythm of the big players cutting the leeks --- It's always like this, when it rises everything is right, when it falls they start shifting blame --- Honestly, I can't keep a straight face reading those reasons in the comment section; the post-hoc reasoning gets better every year --- Accumulating funds, pulling up the price, and harvesting—I've memorized this process --- No matter how beautiful the story, it can't change the essence: they want you to take the loss --- Year after year, it's the same play. Why do people still go all in?

Wake up, everyone. This is a classic harvest-the-leeks script, the same every year. A 100x increase, no matter what is said, is just hindsight wisdom. It's always about views and Trump—honestly, I'm tired of hearing these stories. Retail investors are still studying the white paper, while the big players have already packed their bags. It's always the same every time, I'm really exhausted. The market just cycles through accumulation, manipulation, and harvesting. The more outrageous the story, the more retail investors believe—how can this be saved?

The so-called "Kuzhuge Liang" is really impressive; he can come up with stories for any rise. I think it's just the old trick of harvesting chives from the same old crop.

It's the same old trick again—accumulating funds, pumping the market, and then harvesting. Retail investors are still telling themselves stories. --- Unbelievable, after the rise, any concept can be linked to it. --- I stopped touching this kind of coin a long time ago; it's too obvious a pump-and-dump scheme. --- Talking about over 100 million views, but it's just armchair generals after the fact. Laughable. --- It's always the same—stories are told so smoothly, and as soon as you get in, they start to harvest. --- What's so special about a $1 liquidity pool? That's just nonsense. --- Those who recognize this routine have already run away; latecomers who buy in will just lose money. --- 10,000 in the afternoon, 10 million in the evening? I don't believe you. --- The market maker's tricks are the same year after year, but retail investors will never learn. --- Any concept works as long as someone is willing to buy in; then the story is considered valid.

Haha, another script for cutting leeks, never gets old. A market cap of 10 million and you still dare to boast? It just makes me sick. This manipulation routine has been around for ages, and some people still believe it. The question is, why do retail investors always fall for it? It's time to reflect. The market makers are laughing happily, and we should be more vigilant. It's just another story waiting to be harvested. I wouldn't touch any of these coins; if I lose, I want to lose clearly. Watching this kind of show every day really makes people annoyed. Pool concept, page views... all just tricks.
