Is this what the project development was supposed to be?

When I entered, others had already bought everything up, and the market was no longer interested, so they came to call me. As a result, I became the last one—an official bagholder.

Even more outrageous, after the market was played out, those who entered early made enough profit and left. Then they turn around and call me to "build the ecosystem together," implying I should keep taking the risk. I’ve finally understood this logic.

What’s the most frustrating? I asked when I could get into the core circle, even if it meant knowing some information earlier. But no. Now every day is just repeatedly taking the risk until I get tired.

Honestly, your project losing me is like a fish losing a bicycle—completely irrelevant. Retail investors may or may not leave, but it doesn’t affect the project. For us, it’s a different story.

It's the same old story, early investors eat the meat, and we're just responsible for taking the bag until death. Wait, I've heard "building the ecosystem together" too many times, and every time it's just a trick. Haha, the fish lost its bicycle—that's a brilliant metaphor. Enter the core circle? Dream on. Information asymmetry is their moat. Honestly, I've seen this kind of pattern too many times; it's always the same script. If they pull this stunt again, I'll just block them. Oh wait, you guys make enough profit and then run, and you still have the nerve to come back to "invite"? That's dark humor. Taking the bag until you're exhausted? Then just stop taking it. Once believed in "building the community together," but now it's all a joke.

Oh my, isn't this just my daily routine? It's always the same trick.

It's the same old trick again, early big players eat the meat and drink the soup, retail investors can only gnaw on the bones, and are brainwashed to say it's "participating in ecosystem construction." *** Wake up, information asymmetry is meant to be exploited, don't expect equal treatment. *** Those who entered early are laughing to death, using our money to bail themselves out, truly brilliant. *** Enter the core circle? Dream on, they don't even look at us as the bagholders. *** Well said, next time don't call me to build some ecosystem together. *** This is the crypto world, latecomers are always stepping stones. *** Got it, so should we go find that person who already ran away long ago? *** When you're numb from being exploited, that's when you become clear-headed. *** Ecosystem construction is just about continuing to exploit new naive investors. *** Honestly, I've seen this routine many times; switch to a different project and it's the same.

This is the current state of Web3. If I had known it was like this, I wouldn't have gotten involved.

It's the same old story, brother. --- Those who entered early have already exited, and now you want us to cover the losses? --- Ecosystem construction? Laughable, it's just another way of saying taking over someone else's mess. --- There’s no place for retail investors in the core circle; this should have been clear long ago. --- I just want to know how long this kind of play can last. --- It's always the same, the loudest when it's time to get out.

A typical "cutting the leeks" scheme; in other words, it's just ecosystem building.

A typical scam to trap retail investors, just change the disguise and keep deceiving. Anyway, retail investors never learn their lesson.

A typical trap to fleece newcomers; if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have fallen for their hype.
