Recently, the crypto world has once again staged an absurd drama. An official tweet from a leading ecosystem's account, due to a "slip of the finger," managed to heat up the market from a freezer—though only for a few minutes.

The details are as follows: the official account suddenly shared a post related to the core founder, instantly attracting nationwide attention. As you all know, during a bear market, even a small hint from the official can stir up waves, let alone content backed by IP. Retail investors immediately reacted—this must be good news!

And what happened next? Meme coins with the same name sprouted like mushrooms after rain, with the earliest one skyrocketing to a market cap of $200,000. A bunch of people poured money in like they were on steroids, afraid to miss out on this "officially endorsed" surge. But when I saw this scene, I couldn’t help but laugh—this isn’t a retail frenzy; it’s clearly a trap set by large funds in advance.

On-chain data later revealed the truth: 22 whale accounts pre-positioned, 314 professional wallets used MEV tools to bundle transactions, forcibly jumping the queue to enter early. Their game plan was simple: set up the trap, wait for retail investors to see the "official signal," then follow the trend and get in, before harvesting everything in one go.

It wasn't long before the official tweet was deleted. The meme coin that had just boasted a market cap of $200,000 immediately experienced a free fall, ultimately dropping over 94%. After this round, many accounts turned blood-red. This is the most authentic portrayal of the bear market crypto scene—information asymmetry, time gaps, and absolute capital dominance make it very difficult for retail investors to escape.

MEME-1.45%

RATS-2.52%

It's the same old trick again. Retail investors really need to learn their lesson. Such obvious mouse trading, still rushing in. Honestly, it's deserved. 94% decline, just the price to pay for quick profits. Slipped up? I think it's intentional, always the same every time. Information asymmetry is absolute power; everything is clearly visible on the chain. Follow-the-herd traders always end up as bagholders. This time, several more will get wiped out. MEV front-running is really ruthless; professional institutions know how to play. Once the official tweet is deleted, it's immediately clear it's time to run. Unfortunately, those slow to react have already suffered heavy losses. This round of harvesting had such low costs, no wonder they’re addicted. A bear market is like a classroom, with all kinds of tricks being played one after another. Honestly, those without mining rigs or spot holdings are just giving away their money playing these games.

Same old story, retail investors are still dreaming; big funds have already sold out. A 94% drop—how much pain did it take to get here? Slipped? I think it was quick hands, slicing through trades like a pro. Can't beat their MEV, so it's better to play the long game honestly. I've seen several of these traps in just a month; learning to be smarter really can save your life. Information asymmetry is the original sin; retail investors are always one step behind. As soon as I see the official tweet deleted, I know it's the end; still chasing at this point really makes you reflect. 22 old mouse traps hahaha, this is even darker than the black market, too clever. A drop of over 94%, how many people got liquidated? Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable. Next time someone tells me to trust official signals, I'll just block them—I'm tired of this game.

Another classic show, the old mouse trap strategy is really slick Retail investors are just too greedy, trusting every word from the officials 94% decline, a bloody lesson brothers Bear markets should be calm, these big players have already calculated everything Information gap is money gap, we are always one step behind Watching that group chase the rally is just... incredible MEV tools bundling transactions, technical harvesting is ruthless Why do people keep falling for this routine every time? Did the official account slip up? I scoff, this must be carefully planned Next time I see an official signal, I will just do the opposite

It's the same old trick again, how long will the slip-up tweet meme last? Retail investors will never be able to compete with those on-chain mice. It's about time to face reality. 22 old mouse positions, 314 professional wallets—how are we supposed to play? 94% decline haha, this is the true law of the bear market. The information gap is so absolute; if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have chased the trend. Looking at this move, the official team is truly speechless. Pre-emptive ambushes are the way to go; retail investors can only eat dust. MEME coins are just a harvesting machine. That's just how it is; next time, learn a lesson, everyone.

It's the same old pump and dump scheme, retail investors really have no way out. I knew why they deleted it so quickly, they must have already set the trap. 94% drop? That must be heartbreaking. Luckily, I didn't rush in. Meme coins are just like casinos, a playground for big players. The information gap is terrifying; you really can't compete with institutions.

Same old trick, retail investors are just prey This is what I see every day, the market manipulates and then runs Accidental tweet? I think it’s my wallet slipping 94% drop, that must be heartbreaking Large funds set the trap, retail investors pay tuition, cycle repeats Information asymmetry is truly hopeless, who will win? The problem is how to hide? Basically impossible to avoid Official accounts can play like this, who can you trust? Another wave of being harvested, when will it end? This kind of scheme is as common as breathing in the crypto world
