You know she's not wrong. Trading memes on-chain has become like playing slots from your basement.
In every token, I would say at least 30%-40% of the value is taken by the Team, the token tax, the trading platform fees, Dexscreener update and a bunch of tracked wallets. Times were simpler when MEV was the only extractor on a token.
If you repeat the same cycle 50 times a day, you cannot be surprised if you end up with zero. Coin flips have a 0.5 probability. Meme gambling has worse odds.
It is time to slow down, and invest with intention and conviction. It's okay if you didn't like something today. You do not have to gamble everyday.
I believe that 90% of the profits come from 10% of your investments and most of the time you know your 10%. The rest of the 90% is mostly you taking a chance for 10% of the profits.
Focus on high quality signals. 'Keep Clicking' was the biggest psyop of 2025. Don't let it drag you down in 2026.
Read. Research. Invest. Win.
Truth is we deserved this
Crypto isn't dead, but the garbage that has taken over CT surely is. We must purge and atone for our Sodom and Gomorrah, the glorifcation of 15 second hold times and selling on followers. We must seek forgiveness for the myriad alt L1s that do literally nothing new that anyone wants but are well funded enough to take over the timeline and then just disappear after TGE, we must pay for our sins by judiciously nuking this nonsense with fire and brimstone
We've turned this place into some kind of dystopian slot machine where everyone is convinced you must risk it all or live a a miserable existence, literally no recourse for dumping coins on your followers in fact that behavior is encouraged by the VCs pulling the strings behind the entities that profit from it, and that influence trickles down to all facets of this horrid place through bots, undisclosed representation and all sorts of devilish tricks. While the peasants argue over which is the right ticker the house pulls 2% of each transaction and both get vamped to zero, every Alt L1 is VC money trap, even this very app is controlled by folks being paid to influence you away from crypto's cypherpunk values from it's core value prop, y'all got played on the highest levels now it's time for a major reset
Literally nuke everything except ETH and BTC and maybe we live
