Recently, I’ve noticed a phenomenon across major communities: screenshots of seemingly major good news flying everywhere, paired with a few story-like captions, and a bunch of people following the trend to repost and promote. Honestly, just by observing this trend, you can see there’s a problem.

Let’s look at it from another perspective—if a certain coin really has inside information and is about to skyrocket, what would the people who hold this information do? Would they leave messages everywhere telling strangers? No. They would quietly lay out their plans and wait silently to harvest the profits. Conversely, images quickly Photoshopped in two minutes, combined with seemingly plausible stories (often mixing real events that have actually happened in the crypto world), are spread around through word of mouth.

The logic behind this is very clear: the more people who end up taking the bait, the greater the profit margin for those at the front. So they must promote, they must find the chives. Any project that requires you to actively promote it is essentially just trying to scam you.

The key point is, once you participate in this kind of scheme, the risks are real. Some people are already tight on funds, jumping in with a gamble mentality, only to make things worse. Instead of regretting impulsively, it’s better to stay clear-headed. Of course, if you have so much money that losing it doesn’t matter, then I won’t say anything. But most people should think this through: is risking actual loss for the sake of possible huge profits worth it?
