Ever wonder how some insiders consistently outperform the market? Turns out congressional members have been turning legislative sessions into trading opportunities. While retail traders deal with market uncertainty, lawmakers with inside information on policy decisions enjoy an unfair advantage. It's a stark reminder of how centralized financial systems enable privileged players—exactly why many are turning to decentralized alternatives. The game isn't rigged; it's just not designed for everyone.

These members of Congress are really something else. The Legislative Council has turned into an exchange, and we're retail investors still here watching candlestick charts.

NGL, Congress members engaging in insider trading is even easier than making money as a retail investor. That's why more and more people are fleeing to the chain.

This is outrageous. Congress members profit from insider information while retail investors are still here staring at K-line charts and trying to figure things out.

Ha, it's that same script again: "Congressmen easily make money, retail investors suffer heavy losses"... It's really outrageous. So my losses as a "professional leek" don't count at all?
