Never trust projects that rely on hype and story-based fundraising. I've seen too many of these schemes—initially creating buzz to lure retail investors in, then directly pulling the rug later. Those who can't even explain their plans clearly are ultimately just scams designed to steal your money, with hidden agendas behind the scenes. Participants in such projects are either newcomers or those who already know the risks but still want to take a gamble. Frankly, these schemes are just targeted harvesting of users who want to achieve quick wealth and financial freedom. Be extra cautious.

I've seen too many projects like this; the better the story, the more ruthless the cut.

Bro, you're so right. These days, anyone who tells a story can raise money, and lying with your eyes open is a required course. To put it bluntly, this is just harvesting batch after batch of bagholders. I've seen too many projects like this, whitepapers written in fancy language, the CEO comes out and bluffs, and the retail investors rush in. Truly valuable projects, on the other hand, go unnoticed. I just want to ask, when will this circle return to normal? These schemes are obvious at a glance. As long as people keep entering the market, it proves that some still want to gamble. But on the other hand, it's also understandable that project teams are greedy; mainly because some people want to get rich overnight. I've participated in a few of these events, and they are all套路 (套路 means tricks or schemes). Promises of whitelist, airdrops, and return mechanisms are all just smokescreens. Every time, someone says they're here to learn, but the ones who lose the most are always this group. This article is quite eye-opening, but I bet five bucks that among the people who finish reading the comments, there are still some who want to enter the market.

According to my analysis, the project team's wallet addresses that are hard to clarify always reveal their true nature upon investigation. The flow of funds used to create hype in the early stages never matches the records. Had I known earlier, this would be a precise strike against those who want to get rich overnight.

I'm so disgusted by these scammers, I've really seen too many trash projects set up by premeditated schemes. --- Storytelling for fundraising? Haha, wake up everyone, this is just precise manipulation to cut you off. --- Just want to get rich quick, but end up losing everything. Serves you right. --- Can't even speak clearly but still dare to raise funds? If you ask me, it's all just tricks behind the scenes. --- I just want to know what those involved are thinking. Greed really kills people. --- A scheme that's obvious at a glance, and people still rush in. Isn't this just a free gift?

No matter how beautifully the story is packaged, the schemes for cutting leeks are just a few, and that's really enough.
