Behind the myth of wealth creation by BSC meme tokens: Who are retail investors lifting up?

Recently, the BSC on-chain has gone crazy—meme tokens are everywhere, and stories of getting rich keep coming one after another.

Buy a coin casually before sleep, and wake up to financial freedom? Every day in various groups, people flood the screens with “made a fortune” and “gold everywhere.” Countless retail investors are drawn in by these stories, ignoring the fundamentals and avoiding the secondary market, with only one thought left in their minds: I want to mine the next hundredfold coin too.

But have you ever thought about it, who is losing the money you earn?

This market has always followed the 80/20 rule; there is no fairy tale where everyone makes money. Those sharing their trading screenshots are either engaging in front-running or only reporting good news without mentioning the bad—because institutions need this myth to suck in retail investors wave after wave.

Smart money has already left, are you still dreaming?

When everyone is fantasizing about the “xx life”, the truly smart money has long quietly withdrawn.

They are not continuing to grab meme tokens, but are transferring most of the money back to the secondary market – to position themselves in mainline assets with deeper liquidity and higher certainty, such as BTC and ETH. They might just leave a little change to continue playing the game of chance.

When retail investors discover that the on-chain “Golden Dog” has turned into a “Dead Dog” and want to chase mainstream coins, it is often already the tail end of the market. Those who became rich relying on “xx life”? They have long exchanged their chips for Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Who made money after all? Institutions, KOLs, scientists

The rules of the game are very simple:

Institutions join a bunch of KOLs to issue tokens. They keep an eye on big shots' Twitter, crazily riding the traffic, and they might issue hundreds of tokens a day, possibly all from the same group. Once a token hits the hot spot, the KOLs rush in immediately—first buying themselves, then tweeting to promote it.

Scientists rely on tools to take the lead, with retail investors closely following.

But by the time you see it, it has at least increased by 100 times. Those who came first might have some gains, but what about the later ones? They are merely lifting the sedan chair for the mouse warehouse.

Don't believe in any “fair launch.” When an ordinary person issues a token, even if they ride on a trend, without KOLs driving the hype, nobody pays attention.

Of course, some retail investors did make some money by following the trend. But the project team is not afraid—what they fear is that you won't continue to participate. Retail investors usually make a little money carelessly, only to lose it all in the next project.

In the end, you realize: after playing with the institutions for so long, all your money has turned into Bitcoin and Ethereum in someone else's wallet. The meme tokens you have been holding onto have long gone to zero.

This is the situation of a certain leading platform.

In simple terms, this is all a carefully designed game.

If the cryptocurrency world continues to develop like this, is there still any prospect? After Wall Street enters the scene and sees this situation, they will probably be furious.

The trading path is frighteningly clear:

1. Create a buzz by pumping first —— A leading exchange holds the most platform tokens, first making the ecosystem the focus of the entire market.
2. Creating Myths with KOLs —— Stories of turning a few thousand into millions spread across the internet, drawing more people into the scene with dreams.
3. Unified Praise and Hype —— Creating the Illusion that “Everyone Can Get Rich”
4. Selling at a High Position —— Well-prepared funds steadily pass the baton to the last entrants at a high position.

So as a retail investor, without the technology to get ahead or reliable insider information, it's best not to get involved.

Wealth is never gained overnight.

Those who truly move towards freedom often undergo several rounds of bull and bear market baptism — accumulating during fluctuations, holding firm at low levels.

Mainstream assets like BTC and ETH are the tools that can carry wealth in the long term.

Meme tokens? It's better to take a shortcut and layout assets with real value.

Meme tokens may earn you some pocket money, but the myth of “tenfold or hundredfold” wealth only belongs to a very few. More people will end up losing everything in this game.

Even if you really earn a sum of money through “some life experience”, if the wealth does not match your capabilities, you will eventually lose it back through your own strength.

Wake up, don't get too excited

At present, the wealth creation myth of BSC has reached its peak. Buyers may be lining up.

Once this round of meme token frenzy passes, the market focus will likely return to mainstream. The next market trend may not be on BSC, but rather on Bitcoin and Ethereum.

I can't advise you not to play - after all, blocking someone's financial path is like killing their parents.

Just hope you don't get too carried away and lose your sanity. Remember one thing: In this market, surviving longer is more important than running fast.
