The game's changed, and not for the better. Now it's either bundlers front-running every launch with absurd fees, or watching projects get dumped to near-zero only to see some group resurrect them 40 hours later like nothing happened. Where's the logic in that?
This manufactured chaos isn't what drew people in. Miss those days when market movements actually meant something—when price action reflected real interest instead of coordinated plays. That era had its own problems, sure, but at least the battlefield made sense.

After playing for so many years, I really can't understand it now. It feels like it's all scripted.

You're right, now it's just a group of people playing a high-level Be Played for Suckers game, and ordinary retail investors can't get involved at all.
The manipulation is too obvious, you can see at a glance who is the market maker and who is playing people for suckers.
I miss the days when I could at least rely on fundamentals to make judgments; now it's all a script.
This wave of market sentiment feels meaningless, it's all a pre-planned act.
But speaking of which, this kind of chaotic market makes it easier to identify real projects; you can see through the garbage at a glance.

It's clear, this is just a cycle of being played for suckers.
No one really cares about the fundamentals anymore, it's all just the old tricks of pumping and dumping.
I miss 2017, at least the losses were understandable back then.
These methods are too obvious, there's no attempt at concealment.
Every day they revive zombie coins, and as soon as you turn around, it's another harvesting operation.

The market is really boring now; once the bundlers play people for suckers, they're gone. 40 hours for a revival? Hilarious, what's the difference between the market makers dumping and pumping... I really miss those times when it was chaotic, but at least the wins and losses were clear.

The dumping revival of this trap is really amazing, just like nothing happened... Is this still called a market?

Dude, this is the truth. Everything nowadays is scripted operations, and we can't see any real demand for genuine money, it's all just cooperation.
To be honest, I would rather go back to the chaotic days of 2020, at least the reasons for losing money made sense.

This is ridiculous, the market has no logic at all now, it's all about early running and dumping games.
The bundlers are really making a fortune, ordinary people will always be the dumb buyers.
I miss the times when fluctuations could reflect real demand, now it's all team manipulation, it's meaningless.
Prices are increasingly detached from the fundamentals, who can still trust these data.
Reviving a project in 40 hours? It's really fucking amazing, it feels like products are not even needed anymore.
The trust in this market is about to hit rock bottom, to be honest.

The operation of reviving the dumping is really amazing, who the hell designed this...
To put it bluntly, it's just playing people for suckers, there's no logic behind it.
Back in the early days, at least you could see who was doing what, now it's all a black box.
