It feels like we, the crypto people, have become the easiest to manipulate, the exit liquidity for corrupt families, syndicates, CEXs, and FIAT billionaires.

I can’t remember worse crypto weeks than the last two.
I don’t even recognize crypto anymore.

It feels like we, the crypto people, have become the easiest to manipulate, the exit liquidity for corrupt families, syndicates, CEXs, and FIAT billionaires.

The “small” Pumpfun rugs look like a kids’ birthday party in comparison, yet they’ve heavily contributed to shaping the culture of this space (in the worst possible way).

Brain-dead trust, greed, and ignorance are more common here than anywhere else.

Chasing and applauding shady, well-known figures who only harm the space has become more important than the original idea itself.

While everything is collapsing and hasn’t been recognizable since January, remember this, the Trump family made $1.2 billion during this time, and #Binance
and @cz_binance are walking free, doing whatever the fuck they want.

The worst part about these crashes, rugs, and manipulations is that they also hit those who build and invest honestly.

Every extraction, rug, and manipulation drains money from the legitimate system just the same.

I am not selling. I am building.

Are you with me or are you already out?
