Speaking of the Web3 market over the past two years, what's the most ironic thing? I used to think that MEME coins were the definition of a scam until I saw through those teams pretending to be "legitimate projects"—all they do is treat exchanges as ATM machines, their methods more covert than pure speculation coins, but they are more confident when it comes to cutting people off.

What's even more heartbreaking is that retail investors face these professional players as if they are empty-handed against fully armed opponents. Information gaps, capital differences, technical disparities—an inherent unequal structure in the industry gives people a deep sense of powerlessness. Big players get the profits, retail investors can't even get a sip of the soup. Under such a pattern, no matter how much you learn or how hard you try, it seems nothing can really change.

But it is precisely in this chaos and disappointment that some people begin to truly see what this market is all about—

Laughing to death, these days the most legitimate projects are actually the biggest scammers. Honestly, rather than getting exploited, it's better to be the one controlling the market. No wonder so many people are turning to meme projects, at least they're honest. There's really no way to bridge the information gap; retail investors are doomed. Even if you see through it clearly, it doesn't help; you still need to have money.

Are legitimate projects actually easier to exploit? This trick is indeed ruthless; at least MEME coins still dare to do it openly. --- Information disparity is the line between life and death. Without this edge, don’t even think about turning things around. --- Retail investors can learn all they want, but their funds are just sitting there at that scale. --- So what if you see through it? If you’re going to lose, you’ll still lose. --- At the end of the day, money talks. If you don’t have money, don’t expect to play tricks. --- The more "legitimate" the project, the easier it is to secretly harvest profits.

But then again, instead of complaining about the imbalance, it's better to arm yourself as well.
