名人效应

Bloodbath! After working hard for ten years, the wage earners saved 300,000 to turn their fortunes around in the cryptocurrency world, but their hard-earned money instantly went down the drain. Is there any justice in this?

99% of the coins in the cryptocurrency market are worthless, relying solely on hype to exploit retail investors. Celebrities and institutions buy coins at a low price in advance, then frantically promote them on social media, causing retail investors to follow suit and drive up the price, after which they sell off their holdings for profit. For example, a certain celebrity claimed last year that 'SHIB is the next Bitcoin' but sold off all their holdings after the price surged 500 times, leaving countless retail investors stuck at the peak. Trump is even more ruthless; in 2025, he launched his own meme coin '$TRUMP' with an opening price of $0.18, which skyrocketed by 15,000% to $30 within 12 hours, only to plummet 80% within three weeks, with 810,000 wallets losing $2 billion directly! He himself cashes out $350 million at the peak price, and even 'Fortune' magazine complained: 'For every dollar Trump earns, retail investors lose $20!'

The regulatory void has turned 'hot air' into a scythe. While the U.S. stock market has strict insider trading regulations, the cryptocurrency market still lacks a global unified regulatory system. A tweet from Musk stating 'Dogecoin is the people's currency' caused Dogecoin to surge 200% in a single day, but he later said 'Dogecoin might be a scam,' causing the price to halve instantly. Trump is even more ruthless; while signing an executive order to elevate Bitcoin as 'digital gold,' he quietly let his sons sell off the 'Trump Coin' they issued, and tariff policies frequently led to price crashes. Just as retail investors were cut, he announced a delay in tax increases, continuously exploiting them!

The cryptocurrency market has designed a perfect harvesting process by leveraging human weaknesses: first, it lures you in with 'hundredfold coins' and 'financial freedom,' then creates anxiety through celebrity effects ('wait another ten years if you miss out'), and finally triggers panic selling through price drops. In the Solana ecosystem, out of 870,000 MEME coins, less than 4% survive beyond 30 days, and retail investors are terrified of anything that smells like 'shanzhai.' Although the trading volume of shanzhai coins on Binance accounts for 78%, it is mostly just existing funds cutting each other, as no new retail investors dare to enter!

From football genius to master of harvesting, Ronaldinho's token $STAR10 crashes. Does he want to harvest again?

Once a green field talent, Ronaldinho has transformed into a 'scalpel' in the crypto world after retirement! On March 2, he launched his personal token $STAR10 with great fanfare, only to crash immediately after going live, with a market value plummeting by 66%, and only 9,500 addresses holding the token, mocked as 'even less than the crumbs of the Trump coin.' How many shady operations are hidden behind this farce?

The contract was rigged, and the team was exposed for 'black eating black.' Initially, Ronaldinho's team claimed to 'lock liquidity for 30 days,' but it was later revealed that the contract had a backdoor— the project team could destroy tokens at any time, and the fund pool was locked for only 1 month! After the community erupted, the team hurriedly changed their statement to 'locked until 2281,' but the investors were already disheartened: 'Is it too late to mend the fold? They probably even dismantled the sheep pen!' Even more absurdly, before the token launch, a team from Shenzhen revealed the 'black eating black' insider story: they originally agreed on a $6 million collaboration, but another team snatched it away for $10 million, even throwing out signed documents from Ronaldinho (although the account was later banned).

On-chain data shows that a mysterious address purchased 20 million $STAR10 tokens for $29,000 just 8 seconds before Ronaldinho officially announced the token, with maximum floating profits of $8.26 million! Even more bizarre, this money actually came from Binance's hot wallet, and this address still holds $2.6 million worth of tokens without selling them. Netizens angrily criticized: 'Is this a token launch? Clearly, it's an insider's ATM!'

Even Binance founder CZ almost got dragged into this—he initially retweeted Ronaldinho's tweet 'Thanks for choosing the BSC chain,' but was bombarded by the community for 'aiding and abetting.' He eventually clarified urgently that it was 'not an official endorsement.' Now the investors have seen through the tricks: from Trump to Pippen, celebrity coins have almost all become 'zero memorial coins.'

This is not the first time Ronaldinho has been involved in controversy in the crypto space! In 2023, he was summoned by Brazilian police due to Bitcoin fraud accusations and has become a 'deadbeat' due to bankruptcy and property being seized. Now, launching tokens to harvest investors is just another money-making spree for the 'king of bankruptcy.'

The crash of 83637278181STAR10 has ripped apart the facade of celebrity token launches—no technology, no ecosystem, only a harvesting game of 'traffic + tricks' remains. I advise everyone: don't be fooled by the halo of celebrities; on-chain data doesn't lie. Remember: the scalpel knows no nationality, it only cuts greedy people.

Did Kanye change his mind and start issuing tokens? From Web2 to Web3
Character Collapse: From a righteous refusal of $2 million to a magical reversal of keeping 70% of the tokens for himself

Two weeks ago, Kanye publicly shared screenshots on social media, claiming that someone attempted to lure him into issuing a 'Rug Pull' Meme coin for a $2 million reward to profit from fans. He sternly stated: I am too rich to issue tokens; tokens are just a scam to exploit fans!

However, a shocking reversal suddenly occurred, as CoinDesk reported that Kanye is quietly preparing to issue his personal token YZY, and the distribution plan is simply jaw-dropping: 70% of the tokens will belong to him personally, only 10% will be used for liquidity, and the remaining 20% will be distributed to investors. This stands in stark contrast to his previous 'justice declaration', with netizens ridiculing: 'It turns out he wasn't refusing to issue tokens, he just thought $2 million was too little, and he wants to take 70% for himself!' Even more lamentable is that Kanye's team claims this move is to 'avoid the risk of being banned by e-commerce platforms due to controversial remarks', trying to package the token as a 'brand savior', but it cannot hide the blatant intention to make money.

The celebrity effect of issuing meme coins and using Web3 to exploit fans has already made the community extremely disgusted and strongly opposed; one issue arises, another dies
