An early participant spent only $366 to buy White Whale tokens, and now its value has skyrocketed to $1.5 million. Such extreme profit cases are common in the Solana ecosystem, but the question is—why are almost no one sharing their gains on social media? More and more participants are beginning to question the authenticity behind these stories. In communities deeply involved in Solana Degen culture, tales of such significant profits often spark speculation. Do people really hit the jackpot with such a small initial investment? Or does the widespread dissemination of these cases itself imply some unknown logic? Market participants are re-evaluating these narratives.

I've heard this kind of story too many times, and the key point is that no one really dares to take a screenshot of their account, which means there's nothing more to say.

$366 turns into 1.5 million? I don’t believe it. If no one is showing their earnings, it’s a big problem. --- Same old story, early players’ success stories are everywhere. If they really made money, who would still be here talking? --- I’ve heard the White Whale story too many times. Every time, they say they are the lucky guy. Wake up, everyone. --- NGL, this is just a scheme to attract bagholders. The strangest part is that no one dares to show their results. --- $366 multiplied by 4000 times? Unless you’re an insider or extremely lucky, ordinary people should forget about it. --- The Solana narrative cycle is really fast. The next project is already pulling the same stunt. --- People who really made money have long been quietly getting rich. Out of 100 people bragging on Twitter, 99 are just making up stories. --- The problem isn’t White Whale; the problem is that we all want to believe this story too much. --- If this extreme case were real, it would have been wiped out by institutions long ago. Retail investors wouldn’t stand a chance. --- Why is no one showing their results? Because most of these stories never actually happened. It’s that simple.

Research shows that this type of "survivor bias" phenomenon indeed reveals systemic vulnerabilities in the crypto market. The story of from $366 to $1.5 million can spread, which itself demonstrates the asymmetry of information flow—failure cases are always drowned in silence. From a technical perspective, the liquidity fragmentation characteristic of the Solana ecosystem makes small positions more prone to extreme volatility, but this also means that risks are proportionally amplified. It is worth noting that why would those who truly profit flaunt their wealth on social media? Instead, participants who haven't yet entered the market or are floating in losses are more motivated to share such narratives to prove their "foresight." In summary, the widespread dissemination of these cases essentially reflects market participants collectively weaving a psychological compensation of "I could be the next"—rather than genuine profit insights.

I just want to ask, is that $366 really pulled out of his own pocket? I bet five bucks that this guy already got an airdrop or some internal quota long ago. --- No one shows off their earnings, that's true... The big earners I've seen are all very low-key, while those shouting about making tens of thousands are just small retail investors comforting themselves. --- Hundred times? I think it probably did happen at some point, but your chance of catching it is lower than winning the lottery. That's why I only plan to take positions I can afford to lose now. --- Honestly, I've heard this kind of story so many times I'm tired of it. The key is to think about what the person spreading this news can actually earn. --- So are you in White Whale now? Don't just look at the story; I want to know if anyone is still investing now. --- That's too outrageous... The advantage of early players is like this; by the time you see stories on social media, your opportunity has already been buried by others. --- I'll just say one thing: people who get rich this way don't need to brag online. Instead, they keep talking about how they make big money... haha.

Early players who truly hit the jackpot have already withdrawn their funds safely and exited the market. Why would they still be bouncing around on social media? My private keys are protected with triple encryption, and I never showcase my earnings.
