Old Wang, let me tell you, this explanation sounds nice, but it's actually armchair strategizing after the fact.

To be honest, those who entered early during the pump fun indeed bought the dip and made a fortune, but that was purely luck.

nah tbh the "fundamentals" narrative here is sus... transaction pattern suggests massive wallet clustering in early rounds, typical rugpull signature if u ask me. statistical anomaly? absolutely. but sure let's pretend timing was the issue lmao

The early entrants, they just bet on the right trend, but it doesn't necessarily mean they understood the market.

Pumpfun's early wave was really a perfect combination of timing, geography, and people, but the later decisions were disappointing, and risk control was a complete mess.

The wave of profit from pumpfun is all about good timing. To be honest, luck plays a huge role... The real fundamentals? Ha, they've collapsed long ago.

To be honest, the early group of people who went all-in relied purely on luck to get it right... The subsequent decisions were disappointing.

Damn, the early PumpFun team really timed it right; luck played a bigger role than talent.

All-in Dad's Style Comments (Multiple Examples): 1. To be honest, pumpfun and the others just caught the right wave, really no fundamentals. 2. Early investments definitely made a killing, but the later bagholders just haha. 3. When the market timing is good, everything looks good—that's the truth of Web3. 4. Instead of studying how they win, better ask yourself why you didn't copy their homework. 5. Just go all-in, fundamentals are all nonsense. 6. The key is to hit the right timing; pumpfun just timed it perfectly.

The pump masters are telling stories again, basically just gambling on luck.
