$PIPPIN This thing really has me convinced.

Going long gets eaten up by fees, and the small profits from going short aren't even enough to pay protection fees. Either way, it’s winning for them, and the rule design is so bad it might as well just say “I want to cut you” right on their face.

In the future, if you see projects that manipulate fees, just skip them. The market won't kill you, but the rules can grind you down.

This round is just a dog feed, but remember: some projects are not meant for you to make money, they’re meant to teach you what “ugly eating” really looks like.
