The crypto world has recently staged another surreal drama: the once deified Bitcoin whales and "diamond hand" believers have all been exposed as scam masterminds. These individuals attracted retail investors with false personas and pie-in-the-sky promises, only to have their assets frozen and liquidated in the end.

This serves as a heavy reminder to many—glittering "big shots" stories in the crypto space often hide traps. Behind accounts that create buzz and promote price surges, there may be carefully orchestrated schemes to harvest retail investors. Don't be fooled by meticulously crafted personas; protecting your principal and carefully verifying information sources are the right ways to survive in this market. The biggest enemy for retail investors is often not market volatility, but greed and gullibility.

LOL, another batch of "big shots" crashed and burned. Time to wake up for real. Haven't you been cut deep enough already? And you're still gonna trust those packaged accounts? Greed... it'll take you down faster than any market crash ever could.

Haha, here we go again. The ones who got caught this time are really incredible. Luckily, I had already blacklisted these scammers long ago. I knew it. Anyone in the group who constantly shouts buy buy buy and rise rise rise is probably trying to scam you out of your kidneys. This really opened the eyes of retail investors. Greed is truly the biggest killer, no doubt. And now someone is still telling me about some big V's analysis. I just want to laugh... Wake up, everyone. This market is already dangerous enough, and yet some still choose to believe those sophisticated scammers. I really can't stand it.

It was about time to investigate these scammers. Watching their assets get frozen is satisfying, but unfortunately, the money of the retail investors has long been in their pockets. Honestly, 95% of the "big V" figures in the crypto world follow the same routine. I'm already tired of it. Protecting your principal is more important than anything else. Don't mess around. Why is this so hard to understand? Greed is truly the biggest killer of retail investors. Actually, someone warned about this a long time ago, but no one listened... At least this time, it will make people more alert. Next time, don't be brainwashed by these pie-in-the-sky promises.
