Picture this: every pushup I'd do if I counted one for each time someone hyped me into a coin that eventually tanked to zero. My arms would be absolutely shredded by now. The number of dead projects getting pumped in group chats, Discord servers, and X timeline is honestly absurd. You hear the same narrative every bull run—"trust me bro, this one's different"—and then the token either gets abandoned or slowly bleeds out. At this point, if someone's shilling hard, it's basically a contrarian signal. The cycle just keeps repeating: hype peaks, promises are made, liquidity dries up, and the coin joins the graveyard of failed altcoins. Classic market dynamics.

Haha, really, every bull market cycle when I hear "this time is different," I just want to laugh, but it turns out to be the same old story. For coins that are aggressively promoted, you basically don't need to look at the charts to know how they will die. I've become numb to it already. Watching a bunch of projects fall from the sky is actually quite spectacular. Those who say they want to change the world probably can't even get into Discord now. It's either liquidity exhaustion or team跑路, classic cyclical plot replay. I've already learned the true meaning of contrarian signals.

Haha, if arms really tore like that, I would have gone to the hospital long ago. By the way, this routine really cycles through each round; the bull market is just a few phrases repeated in a cycle.

Ha, that push-up segment was really amazing, my arms would probably break into several pieces. I've heard too many lies of "this time is really different," and it's always the same script. When they're desperately pushing sales, I just do the opposite, and it never fails. This circle is just a big cycle, after one round of cutting, another comes, so annoying. Liquidity dries up and immediately hits the graveyard, there's nothing new.

Haha, that's hilarious. Every time I hear "this time is different," I think of the last time I got wrecked. Seeing people aggressively promote and directly reverse operations, this already reflects the cost. Basically, it's hype, runaways, and adding to the graveyard, cycle after cycle. All those promises eventually turn into air; I should have seen through this routine long ago. When liquidity dries up, people leave— isn't that just a dead coin?

Haha, this sentence is hilarious. My arms are long gone, and every bull market has the same script. When I see someone saying "Trust me, brother" there, I just know it's time to run. The dead projects in Discord are really countless, basically a reverse indicator database. Is this cycle happening again? A perfect one-stop service for liquidity exhaustion. That's how the crypto world is—more and more altcoin graves piling up.
