The Hidden Currents of Rumors: My Crypto Carnival as an 'Information Dealer' on Rumour.app
The autumn of 2025 arrived in an exceptionally strange manner. The smog outside in Beijing resembled a layer of encryption, blurring the boundaries between reality and the virtual world, while on my phone screen, there was always a hidden current surging — those 'insider news' about the Bitcoin crash and Solana hacking spread like a virus in X (formerly Twitter) and Telegram groups. Just last week, I was staring at a screenshot of an anonymous post, my heart racing: it was said that a certain DeFi project was about to announce deep cooperation with Binance, and the token price would soar by 300%. I didn’t rush to all in; instead, I opened Rumour.app, the 'rumor black market' I stumbled upon six months ago. With a swipe of my finger, I submitted this information, chose a leveraged short position, betting it was an AI-generated smokescreen. What was the result? 24 hours later, the truth was revealed: it was entirely fabricated, and the price actually fell by 15% due to FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt). My account greenly added 0.3 ETH. It wasn't luck; it was Rumour.app that taught me to treat rumors as leverage to pry open the hidden wealth of the crypto world.
