I got rugged on Solana in 2022. That's where this started.
I didn't leave. I took over More Bears because I wanted to prove that communities deserve better than what they got. I believed in the people around me.
Turns out a lot of them were the same people running the rugs.
crypto was sold as: open, verifiable, immutable.
you can’t preach transparency for four years, run a casino chain, then pivot to privacy when extraction dies.
fix the rugs. fix the bots. fix the disclosure.
BTC is boring because nobody rewrites the rules in a Discord/Telegram vote. that’s the feature.
@vibhu So what exactly are you “privately” buying that needs to hide from the public, but not from the government that still gets subpoenas, sanctions lists, and blockchain analytics contracts?
@WhiteWhaleLabs who pushed all of them? ask your self that, might lead to the real questions that need to be answered huh? all those chains you named, tell me! who pushed them?
This is a sincere question. Because I just don't "get it"
If the privacy narrative is supposedly so strong, why is no one using it? Other than a couple edge cases ZEC has less than 10K transactions per day. Monero has 3x that.
Berachain? Monad? Significantly dwarf daily transaction count. And they are dead chains.
Anyone can spin up a coin with a 21M supply cap. If the entire narrative is "people demand privacy" why doesn't that show in the numbers?
Again, this is a sincere attempt to understand. Not trying to piss off a cult today.
Casino era ends, or crypto dies.
2025–2026 data: • ~$17B scam/fraud losses (@chainalysis )
• ~$35B to fraud schemes (TRM)
• https://t.co/yWOd5GoP87: 99%+ tokens never graduate
• BTC dominance still ~60% (June 2026)
Crypto was built for: open, immutable, verifiable, decentralized.
bitcoin:native is slow on purpose. No live founder. No DAO rug switch at the base layer.
Other chains? Useful sometimes.
Mostly? Centralized extraction with faster blocks IMO.
I’m not chain blind. I use what works.
But I’m done pretending get rich quick works, because extraction is “the culture.”
Real builders. Real businesses. NOW!!!
Oh, and every protocol founder screaming “privacy” needs to answer one question:
Privacy from who?
Because in 2026, the data says the quiet part out loud:
Public blockchains are surveillance-native.
Bitcoin was never “secret money.” It’s a public ledger. Every tx is broadcast. Permanent. Immutable. Anyone can read it, including firms built specifically to unmask it.
Facts:
@chainalysis (2026 Crypto Crime Report): $154B sent to illicit addresses in 2025, traced on-chain. Their whole pitch to governments is literally “unlike cash, crypto leaves an investigative trail.”
Law enforcement scale: Chainalysis-style tooling is used by agencies across 70+ countries. Major recoveries (e.g. Bitfinex, $3.6B+) were on-chain forensics + exchange subpoenas, not guessing.
Your on-ramp/off-ramp: Regulated exchanges run KYC. FATF Travel Rule, 85 jurisdictions have it in law; EU MiCA + Transfer of Funds can require identity data on transfers (EU: €0 threshold on many CASP flows). US: $1,000 crypto Travel Rule threshold + recordkeeping.
You cash out? Someone knows.
TradFi rails you already use: Card networks, banks, telcos, app stores, they already log purchase metadata.
Crypto didn’t delete that layer. It added a second permanent copy the whole internet can scrape.
So what exactly are you “privately” buying that needs to hide from the public, but not from the government that still gets subpoenas, sanctions lists, and blockchain analytics contracts?
Legit use case for privacy? Fine, institutional PII (customer names, account numbers). That’s a compliance architecture problem.
Which is why a smart CEO doesn’t dump client data on a global billboard chain and then beg for “privacy coins.”
They hire engineers and run private rails / permissioned ledgers, closed systems, access controls, audits. That is how serious businesses handle sensitive data.
Selling “privacy” to retail on public L1s while they ape tokens and JPEGs?
That’s not ethos.
The original ethos was the opposite:
You can’t hide. You can’t lie. Everyone can verify.
Immutable history. Open state. Normal users should be able to read the tape.
So when influencers push privacy maximalism to the masses, ask:
Who benefits if the fraud machine stays dark?
Not you.
The extractor.
Question everything.
Then read the chain.
I’m not popular because I tell the truth.
People hate that.
The second lies and fraud get exposed, they go feral, insults, deflection, “you’re jealous,” “touch grass,” “you’re broke.” Anything but answering the data.
I get it.
When you’ve got nowhere left to run, and the empire you built on four years of extraction is cracking, of course you’re loud.
Karma is a bitch. It always comes back around.
Here’s what the chain says while they scream:
https://t.co/yWOd5GoP87: peer-reviewed work (Univ. of Pisa / Bologna, Sept 2025 sample), 655,770 tokens launched, 4,338 graduated. That’s about 0.63% making it off the curve. The other ~99.4% didn’t.
Dune / market reporting (2026): graduation rate sat under 1% for weeks straight, record death rate, not “bad luck.”
Your NFT era: floors to zero, bot volume, wash trading loops, same machine, different JPEG.
So when I say most of what you were sold was worthless by design, I’m not coping. I’m reading public stats.
I stayed on the right side this whole run:
no fake volume theater
no “trust me bro” influencer packages
no undoxed ghost empires
receipts over follower count
Four years calling the playbook while it paid everyone else.
Funny how that works.
The next four, I don’t have to explain away fraud, scams, and extraction.
You do.
Not because I’m perfect, because I didn’t build my name on bot farms and other people’s money.
Argue with the followers.
Verify with the chain and receipts MFer! 😘🕵️🙃
Oh, and don’t get it twisted.
A lot of these “big” accounts aren’t even independent anymore.
They’re managed, rented, or owned by larger marketing shops. Same playbook, bigger budget.
How do you think Solana keeps pushing other products on your timeline?
“Staying relevant” is the polite excuse.
Marketing is king.
It doesn’t follow trends, it manufactures them.
Narratives don’t “emerge.” They get funded, scheduled, and amplified until the timeline believes they’re organic.
Raid farms built the audience.
Marketing firms steer it.
So before you pay five figures for a “KOL post,” ask:
Who actually owns that account?
Who funds the narrative?
Who profits if you ape?
Question everything.
Then verify.
- Richard Feynman:
"I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned."
- Edward Bernays (literally the father of modern PR)
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses… is an important element in democratic society."
If the guy who invented mass marketing told you the timeline is molded, and a Nobel physicist told you not to swallow answers, maybe follower count isn’t the metric.
Receipts are.
Almost every “big” Solana and ETH KOL got there the same way.
Not talent.
Not alpha.
Not years of building.
Raid to Earn.
Here’s the machine:
Account wants followers and engagement
Posts garbage
Blasts it through raid communities
Gets paid in a shitcoin for retweets, comments, likes, follows
Bots scale the grind because more engagement = more payout
Repeat for years.
What you get is a permanent spiral:
botted accounts → botted engagement → botted “influence” → botted credibility
And it’s not hidden. Go look.
Open their followers.
Default PFPs. No banner. No bio. Broken English. Zero posts. Zero soul. All retweets/reposts.
Takes 30 seconds to spot.
So the next time you respect someone because they have 200k followers in crypto, slow down.
That number is probably fabricated.
Crypto is the most fabricated industry on earth. Full stop. Most fraud per square inch of any market you’ll touch.
A random account will tell you he’s a Saudi prince and he’ll send you 2 BTC if you send him 1.
He doesn’t want your time.
He doesn’t want your help building.
He doesn’t want your skills.
He wants your money.
And the “influencers”?
They’ll charge you a fortune to advertise to an audience that was bought with raid payouts and bot farms.
You’re not buying reach.
You’re renting spam.
Argue with me after you audit the followers.
Not before.
If they haven't been preaching to sell since November, you should un-follow them!
those people didn't have YOUR interest in mind when they told you to buy something!
@KinggTrades Its what CZ and others in control with supply have done for years. the cycle isn't new, people that understand the halving and how it effects supply and demand gets it, come back in October guys, that will be the bottom!
