For certain well-established crypto projects, the financiers often hold their ground before the contract goes live, only choosing to exit after locking in profits — this tactic is actually quite common. The current issue is that a large number of retail investors are still chasing high prices even after the contract has been launched, which is somewhat irrational.

Regarding the institutional tokens in Alpha, a major exchange's plan, the quality varies widely. Given the current market environment, focusing solely on the funding background and fundamental data has limited significance; the key is whether the project's logic is coherent. Projects with completely illogical reasoning, even if they experience short-term gains, should definitely be avoided. Investment requires a bottom line; no matter how tempting some opportunities look, they should not be touched — this is a fundamental principle for protecting capital.

The borrower locks in the gains and then withdraws. How many times has this trick been played... Retail investors are still chasing highs, honestly, I can't hold back anymore.

When will retail investors who chase highs learn to read the market logic? It's really unbelievable. VC coins follow this routine; once they cash out, you'll suffer heavy losses. The financing party ran early, and we're still there taking the hit—just thinking about it is outrageous. Some projects have such poor logic that I still won't touch them; protecting the principal is the key. That bunch of institutional coins in Alpha has too much water content; you need to open your eyes. What's the use of a good-looking increase? The crash comes even faster, everyone. The bottom line is easy to say but hard to do, but you really have to stick to it.

I was awakened again in the middle of the night by a rug pull nightmare, this time with Alpha coin. The fundraisers lock in profits and run, while retail investors are still chasing the high—classic bagholder behavior. Projects with illogical logic should indeed be avoided, but it's easier said than done. I was also fooled by a coin endorsed by a "top institution" before, and to save gas fees, I deliberately chose a cheap time to enter, only to lose everything. Looking back now, I really should have spent a few more hours analyzing on-chain data. The bottom line is, you have to rely on yourself to protect it. Irrational investors are always retail, and institutional tricks are always the same. Another opportunity that looks like a money-maker, but my gut tells me not to touch it. Fusion coin is okay, at least the logic is consistent, unlike some projects that are purely based on luck. Honestly, it's about not being greedy. Once you get greedy, you're doomed. Those who chase high after the contract goes live are really reckless. Uneven quality is common, but I care more about when the gas wars will end. Having a solid backing ≠ making big money; that's a false proposition. A good fundraising background doesn't matter much; the key is whether the team is genuinely committed to their work.

I've seen this kind of scheme many times. Institutions finish their pump and dump and then run, while retail investors are still holding the bag. Truly unbelievable. The fundraising plan sounds impressive, but if the logic doesn't add up, it's just air. Short-term gains are just illusions. Alpha projects are too risky; even some promising opportunities should be passed on. Capital preservation is the key. Funding backgrounds sound impressive, but projects with zero execution ability are not worth considering. I immediately pass on projects that look fake at a glance. Don't be blinded by short-term gains.
