You'll always find someone out there preaching about their so-called 'revolutionary tech'—then turn around and exit scam their own supporters. It's become the playbook.
Let's be real: most of what gets hyped today follows the same pattern. Short-term pumps dressed up as innovation, fundamentally operating on ponzi mechanics whether people admit it or not.
But here's what really stings—the builders and creators in Web3 space? They see exactly what's happening. They know how the game works. Yet they'll never actually call it out publicly. The ecosystem runs on collective denial, and everyone's got skin in it.

To be honest, I've seen this routine way too many times. Constantly hyping revolutionary technology, then running away, and dragging followers down with them. A typical Web3 script.

That hits too close to home. This is the current Web3 ecosystem—one good show after another...

Stop talking. Entering Web3 now is like playing Russian roulette; every project is gambling on luck. I've seen too many "revolutionary technologies" that ultimately turn into a game of funds.
The most ironic thing is that those people are as clear as a mirror in their hearts, just pretending not to see. Whoever dares to tear this layer of paper will have no business to do.

That's so true, this is the current norm. Talking about innovation on the surface, but in reality, it's just playing the game of hot potato.
Everyone in Web3 knows this deep down, but who dares to speak the truth first? The one who loses out is themselves.

Isn't this just the current situation? Everyone knows it well but no one dares to break that layer of paper.

Honestly, this is the norm in this circle now. A bunch of people pretend to talk about revolutionary technology, then turn around and run away.

Exactly right. Everyone knows it deep down, but no one dares to break the ice.

This trick, tsk tsk tsk... Who doesn't know? It's just that no one dares to expose it.
