It's wild how some streamers and celebrities keep fabricating their wealth numbers, then turn around and shill crypto tokens using their brand and influence. The contradiction is pretty obvious—if they're genuinely that loaded, why resort to pump-and-dump schemes and pushing questionable tokens to their audiences? The playbook is always the same: hype it up, cash out when prices spike, then ghost when things crash. Their followers end up holding the bags while these personalities move on to the next project. It's predatory marketing dressed up as financial advice, and honestly, this kind of behavior is exactly why retail crypto investors struggle to trust the space.

ngl, this is exactly what i've been saying for years—the math doesn't add up. if you're actually wealthy, you don't need to pump shitcoins to your fanbase. empirically speaking, every single one of these "influencer coins" follows the same fundamentally flawed pattern. it's predictable, almost boring at this point. retail gets decimated, i warned about this

To be honest, I'm tired of this routine... Falsely inflating one's net worth and then turning around to cut the leeks, losing all face.

Sigh, this trick is really terrible, it's always the same way to cut the leeks.

This tactic is so bad that it's unbearable. Watching these people harvest profits every day and pretending they're helping with financial management.

According to the database, this kind of "wealth fabrication → token rug pull" scheme has postponed fulfilling its social responsibility approximately n times. It is recommended to be listed in the Guinness World Records.

This is just outrageous. Every day, some streamers boast about how much money they have, only to turn around and aggressively promote coins. It's truly unbelievable. Their personas collapse so quickly; after a pump and dump, they disappear, and fans are left holding the bag. This routine is almost rotten; hype, dumping, running away—it's always these three steps. I can already guess the ending. Why do some people always fall for this kind of "financial advice"? Wake up, everyone. No wonder the circle is so toxic, with these crappy issues constantly adding fuel to the fire.
