Crypto Casino: The Bet’s Been Placed, Gentlemen!

The time has come when crypto trading has finally turned into a lottery. We wait for a tweet from CZ, Buterin or Musk like manna from heaven. When someone writes something about the "future of finance" — the crowd immediately rushes to buy another memecoin.

But the crowd doesn't know that it has already lost before the start.

After all, this whole performance has long been rehearsed. When the crowd enters the market, draining the last money, those who were in the position beforehand are already calmly exiting. The crowd believes that this is a chance, and for whales — it's just an opportunity to sell.

And then in Telegram they show us a "lucky guy" who bought for $100 and raised a million. Only they forget to say that these are not lucky people, but just insiders — those who know in advance what to buy and at what price to sell. The rest in this situation are like fodder for market makers.

And so on in a circle. Tweets, pumps, dumps... Some leave the market with tens of millions, others — with another "unforgettable experience" and a hole in their pocket.
