That was in June, when no one was talking about it yet, but some already knew the next steps to lock in money and users.

It’s likely all fake and manipulated, people ape into projects where a few wallets control almost the entire supply, while criminal figures like @cz_binance and #Binance call the shots and even pay shady KOLs to hype it.

And people ape in without questioning.

I’m not for or against $aster or $hype, (of course Hyperliquid clearly has my sympathy points, but I don’t use it)
...but I wish people understood better what’s really going on.

Binance has become so powerful that they can decide where crypto is heading.

They were afraid of Hyperliquid, so they simply pushed a competing product, successfully. (Even if it`s bad but mc is there already)

We’re talking about the ultimate market manipulators here.

Would you ape into a coin where over 90% is controlled by notorious liars, convicted financial criminals and manipulators?

We live in an era of crypto where decentralization is basically gone, at least not present or free anymore.

It didn’t take long.

Presidents’ families and powerful CEXs set the tone, drain the space, lie straight to your face, and masses follow the calls only to get wrecked and then instantly forget about it

I don’t understand many of you and I never will.

As for Aster; Yes, Binance and CZ will surely keep pushing it; the guy is a sick narcissist and he wants to win.

But think about the damage it will cause if it suddenly tanks.

We saw what happened with the Trump and Melania coins.

The trenches never recovered since then.

It hasn’t been the same ever since.
