With onchain trading and memecoins gaining traction again, we're seeing certain voices resurface—and they're playing a familiar game. Here's the reality: most of these commentators have zero actual positions at stake. They're using retail traders as pawns for engagement, manufacturing narratives for an audience that rarely questions the claims being made.

Their go-to move? Retroactively claiming they called massive gains. "I predicted this 10x." Maybe on one out of fifty bets. But that's not how it works. They cherry-pick wins, bury losses, and build credibility on selective memory. What's worse is the asymmetry—they profit from your attention and action, whether you win or lose.

The pattern repeats: market heats up, they multiply content output, harvest followers, disappear when sentiment flips. It's not analysis. It's extraction. Stay skeptical of anyone with skin-in-the-game claims who never actually shows their positions.
