By the way, I have a question or two.

You love it when your dumbfuck KOL shills you another pile of garbage, don’t you?

You love when a convicted liar becomes a respected founder again because he sponsored the correct event, don’t you?

Everyone loves it when a CEX founder starts preaching about freedom while running a fully centralised casino, right?

You love watching victims defend the scammer because admitting the truth would mean admitting they were used, right?

You love subscribing to memecoin shillers instead of techies or sleuths, right?

And it is obviously great that Dexscreener sells boosts to scammers, so naturally the first thing every serious builder should do is buy one and compete for visibility with rugs, fake volume and paid manipulation. Why build trust, ship infrastructure or earn attention when you can simply pay to appear legitimate for 24 hours?

You love it when a founder calls his project decentralised while he controls the multisig, the treasury, the contracts, the liquidity, the market makers and 90% of the supply, don’t you?

You love “fair launches” where insiders bought first, influencers received allocations, bundled wallets absorbed the supply and retail was invited once everyone needed exit liquidity, right?

You love those mysterious organic communities where 300 accounts suddenly post the same slogan, use the same graphics and defend the same chart within 5 minutes, don’t you?

You love it when a KOL says “not financial advice” immediately after giving financial advice to 200,000 followers while quietly holding a discounted bag, right?

You love it when he calls it conviction while selling into your conviction, don’t you?

You love it when he deletes the losing calls, keeps the winning screenshots and suddenly becomes a trading genius again by Monday morning, right?

You love it when Telegram admins post 60 tokens, erase 55 disasters and pin the 5 that pumped as proof of their unmatched research, don’t you?

You love private groups where insiders buy first, public followers buy second and everyone pretends the order was accidental, right?

You love market makers creating the appearance of demand, exchanges creating the appearance of legitimacy and KOLs creating the appearance of trust, don’t you?

You love it when a token pumps on manipulated liquidity and everyone starts discussing fundamentals that did not exist 3 hours earlier, right?

You love launchpads that allow endless garbage to be deployed in seconds, collect fees from every rug and then explain that permissionless systems cannot be responsible for what happens on them, don’t you?

You love platforms that profit from scams on the way up, profit from panic on the way down and still describe themselves as neutral infrastructure, right?

You love exchanges listing obvious trash after their “rigorous due diligence,” then quietly delisting it once retail has been fully harvested, don’t you?

You love founders who announce partnerships that consist of 2 logos, 1 Telegram conversation and absolutely nothing being built, right?

You love roadmaps with no dates, products with no users, protocols with no revenue and teams with no names, don’t you?

You love when a project has 18 advisers, 40 ambassadors, 12 KOL partners and nobody capable of shipping a working product, right?

You love it when the token unlocks work perfectly even though the actual platform has been “under maintenance” for 6 months, don’t you?

You love fake builders who spend 90% of their budget manufacturing attention and the remaining 10% explaining why development is delayed, right?

You love founders who disappear after raising millions and return 8 months later with a new profile picture, a new narrative and another revolutionary idea, don’t you?

You love it when they call the previous failure a learning experience while the people they dumped on call it losing their savings, right?

You love crypto media turning paid press releases into journalism, don’t you?

You love “research threads” written by people who were paid by the project, reviewed by the project and rewarded according to how many buyers they deliver, right?

You love analytics dashboards that show holder counts but somehow never mention that 700 wallets were funded by the same source, don’t you?

You love scanners giving a green score to a token whose entire social presence, liquidity structure and wallet distribution scream extraction, right?

You love it when a project passes every automated security check because the scam is social, coordinated and perfectly legal at the contract level, don’t you?

You love “community ownership” where the community owns the losses and the team owns the treasury, right?

You love DAOs where whales write the proposal, whales pass the proposal and whales receive the money while 30 retail voters celebrate governance, don’t you?

You love decentralised governance where participation means clicking yes on a decision already negotiated in a private chat, right?

You love when VCs buy at a fraction of your price, receive additional incentives, unlock before you and then lecture you about long-term thinking, don’t you?

You love when influencers preach diamond hands to retail while their own wallets demonstrate excellent risk management, right?

You love when they say price discussion is toxic immediately after using the price increase as their main marketing campaign, right?

You love when they blame traders for destroying the project after spending months marketing the token instead of the product, don’t you?

You love when they call every critic a FUD account because answering basic questions about wallets, allocations and revenue would be inconvenient, right?

You love communities that attack investigators faster than they attack the people stealing from them, don’t you?

You love when every failure is blamed on market conditions, regulators, haters, short sellers, bad actors and impatient retail, but never on the people who built the structure, don’t you?

You love when the same serial scammers return with a new token because this industry has no memory beyond the current candle, right?

You love when reputation can be purchased with a blue badge, a conference panel, 3 paid articles and a photo beside someone important, don’t you?

You love when a convicted liar becomes a respected founder again because he sponsored the correct event, don’t you?

You love when an obvious grifter calls himself a thought leader because “professional manipulator” looks bad in the bio, right?

You love when every parasite calls himself a builder, every paid promoter calls himself an educator and every exit-liquidity operation calls itself an ecosystem, don’t you?

You love pretending all of this is adoption, right?

You love pretending more volume means progress even when the volume comes from bots, leverage, memecoins, wash trading and people gambling against insiders, right?

You love calling it financial freedom while every layer of the machine is designed to identify, attract and extract the least informed participant, don’t you?

Right?

Why MASTR refuses paid promotional deals

But the thought of posting a product here, praising it, telling people how great it is and putting my name behind things I cannot fully control makes my skin crawl.

Solana: paid promotion · 6 Sep 2026

What disappoints me most about this space rn is how different the reality is from the opportunities everyone keeps talking about...or how it changed. That applies to building useful things too, not talking about trading.
