The套路 behind those altcoins claiming to skyrocket 100x or 1000x in a few hours on the market must be understood. These projects completely control liquidity before pumping, with the project team and their affiliates holding all the cards. Once retail investors flood in, their strategy is simple—abandon this chain directly and start a new coin.

Take Pippin as an example. Blockchain address tracing shows that there were very few holders before the surge. Because the chips were highly concentrated, the project team dared to manipulate the price recklessly. By the time retail investors rushed in, it was already a done deal. Those latecomers who jumped in ended up as the last to be caught in the trap.

Comparing the performance of Doge and Pepe makes it clear—too many retail investors bought in, creating strong selling pressure, making it impossible to rise. Do these coins want to become tools for getting rich? Dream on.

Look at Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy company—focused on Bitcoin investment, yet its stock price has fallen to this level. Those still dreaming of turning around with trash coins, it’s better to go to bed early than to keep daydreaming. The market is always teaching those investors who hold onto false hopes.

It's the same old bad script again, I really don't know how many more people will get caught. --- They dare to pump when the chips are concentrated, and retail investors just get sent to the slaughter. This logic couldn't be clearer. --- Pippin's case was incredible. People are blindly following even when it's obvious they're being scammed. I have to admire that. --- Want to turn around with a hundredfold coin? Wake up, everyone. Before dreaming, check if your principal is enough to cover the loss. --- Watching these copycat coin stories every day, I'm fed up. Isn't it just rebranding and reopening? --- Michael Saylor has already fallen, and you still want to get rich with MEME coins? Your vision is too narrow. --- Wow, they just give up on chain re-minting and create new coins. I really didn't expect such boldness. --- Doge and Pepe can't rise because there are too many people? Then buying a small amount of altcoins should be easier to take off. Where's the flaw in this logic? --- When retail investors swarm in, the game is already over. So how do you tell early on which is a trap and which is an opportunity?

Basically, it's a manipulator's harvesting tool. Avoid coins with concentrated chips.

It's the same old trick again—when the chips are concentrated, they dare to manipulate at will; when retail investors buy in, they run off to mint new coins. Invincible. Honestly, I was really tired of that Pippin wave. The number of holders is fewer than twenty, yet they dare to boast about a huge surge. Laughable. Can trash coins turn around? Give me a break, wake up, everyone.

It's the same old trick of cutting leeks again. Even after seeing through it, people still rush in.

It's the same old trick again—when the chips are concentrated, they dare to aggressively pump the price, and retail investors are all cannon fodder. A trash coin making a comeback? Wake up, it's been sleepwalking for a long time.
