Retail investors really should unite

Looking at the market over the years, the phenomenon of institutions eating the meat and retail investors drinking the soup is too common. Have you ever thought about what if a project is designed from the beginning for retail investors?

Zero trading tax, fully transparent contract code, complete relinquishment of team permissions, 100% decentralization—doesn't that sound a bit idealistic? But this is the direction some projects are trying to pursue. No hidden taxes, no developer backdoors, no mechanisms for big players to cut the leeks.

Essentially, this is using technology and rule design to return pricing power to market participants. Retail investors are no longer passive bagholders but truly able to hold the voice.

Of course, decentralization also means taking risks on oneself, but at least the game rules are transparent. In the crypto world, this is already quite valuable.

It sounds great, but to be honest, I've seen too many cases of retail investors uniting, only to end up acting independently. There is no such thing as truly 100% decentralization in the world; as long as someone writes code, there will be vulnerabilities. No matter how eloquently you put it, one fact remains: retail investors are still retail investors.

No matter how beautiful it sounds, it’s useless; what really matters is what the code says. There are very few truly decentralized projects; most are just changing masks to harvest profits. Promises of zero tax are common, but do you know what they usually end up like?

Uh... Zero trading tax, transparent code, relinquishing permissions—I've heard these claims too many times. Do you not know how it ended up in your own hearts? Retail investor alliance? Wake up, that's a false proposition. Human nature simply can't do it. Risk assumption sounds noble, but in reality, it just means no one is responsible when things go wrong. It's already 2024, and you're still touting complete decentralization. I just want to ask, which project has truly achieved no cutting of leeks? Honestly, it still comes down to fundamentals and liquidity; everything else is just storytelling. By the way, how do these projects usually make money... token sales?

Sounds pretty good, but I always feel like something's not right Zero tax and transparent code, do such projects really exist or is it just another wave of rug pulls Decentralization risk is on your own, I agree, at least the rules are laid out clearly Retail investors uniting? Well... it's easy to say, but when it comes to critical moments, isn't everyone just running away Institutions are indeed powerful, but isn't what we're looking for this kind of relatively fair gameplay? There are indeed more projects like this, but I don't know which one will survive until next year
