Do you remember a few years ago when everyone was enthusiastic about setting up Telegram communities? Accidentally clicking the wrong link could easily lead to personal information and IP address leaks. Later, it became popular to list project tokens on top-tier exchanges. But what happened? Many projects experienced a sharp decline after listing, and liquidity vanished instantly. Look at those projects that were once hyped up—what's their status now? This shows us that we shouldn't follow the trend blindly. Be cautious when choosing trading platforms, and analyze projects from multiple angles. Don't just listen to community hype. Market risks always exist, and doing thorough research is the first step to protecting your assets.

Really, how many people's accounts were lost during that Telegram wave? There are still people forwarding those suspicious links every day... The market crashes when they go to exchanges, I'm used to it. Anyway, I usually do the opposite of what the community promotes about projects.

Runaway projects one after another, I'm already numb. Does anyone still believe in that story of TG pumping the coin?

The套路 in the crypto world is like this; there are always people falling for it. I stopped believing in Telegram communities a long time ago. --- Once it launches, it immediately drops in value. I just block any project that still dares to boast about it now. --- You're right, if you didn't do your homework, don't blame yourself for getting cut. --- I knew I was being scammed the moment liquidity disappeared. It's so true. --- Why do some people need to experience it firsthand before believing? --- Even top exchanges launching can't save bad projects. That really says a lot. --- Are there still people only listening to the community now? Those are the ones who die the fastest. --- What happened to the once-star projects? Anyway, I have no desire to revisit them. --- That TG link thing was really disgusting. One scam and you'll remember it for life. --- Analyzing from multiple angles sounds easy, but in practice, who really has the time to do it?

Oh man, I’ve fallen for scams so many times back then, I even want to slap myself when I think about it now. --- If only I hadn’t been so greedy back then, I would have seen through these tricks earlier. --- Really, how many people have been cut by those crappy projects? And they still pretend they saw through it all from the start. --- It’s easy to say, but how many can truly analyze rationally? Most just follow the trend, then regret it when they’re stuck holding the bag. --- I’ve heard these words so many times, but no one really takes them to heart, including myself. --- Anyway, I only trust my own on-chain data analysis now; everything else is nonsense. --- That set of methods on Telegram is long outdated. Now they’re trying new tricks, thinking they can still scam us easily. --- Instead of listening to these armchair experts after the fact, it’s better to look directly at the project’s on-chain activity.

Thinking about those projects that got rug-pulled again, it's really lesson after lesson Should have taken the advice earlier; blindly jumping in has turned everyone into bagholders After so many years of crypto crashes, some people still haven't learned their lesson, I really can't hold back
