A few days ago, I was shopping at the market when the vendor auntie was organizing vegetables and said that her niece invested in a project called APRO, which could double this month. Hearing this, I immediately knew—this market cycle is probably reaching its peak.

The most dangerous moment in a bull market is when unknowing people start teaching you how to make money.

This week, I encountered all kinds of "APRO experts": delivery drivers pointing at their phones and saying "This AI oracle is awesome," gym trainers discussing during breaks that "Cross-chain data is the future," a former colleague I haven't contacted in three years suddenly asking on WeChat if they can chase after APRO. The funniest was my mom, who called and said, "Your Aunt Wang's son made enough from trading APRO to cover his down payment. Can you teach me how?"

When even sixty-year-old aunties start rushing in, what are the truly smart money doing? Institutions with a 0.05 cost, early miners entering at 0.1—they are now thinking about how to gracefully hand over chips to retail investors.

But data speaks.

What is the current daily call volume for APRO? About 20,000 AI calls and approximately 300,000 data validations. Assuming a fee of $0.01 per call (which is a high estimate), daily revenue is just over $3,200, and annualized it’s only about $1.2 million.

Compared to the current market cap of $4 billion, the price-to-sales ratio reaches 3,300 times.

What does this multiple mean? Traditional tech giants usually range from 15 to 30 times.

Wow, this data comparison really clears my mind. A P/E ratio of 3300 is truly outrageous. --- Another pump-and-dump cycle. If veteran investors are all in, what does that say? --- I've heard this kind of thing at the market before. Do you know how things turned out? --- The biggest IQ tax is always paid by the group that believes the most in doubling their money. --- Selling at 0.1 when the cost is 0.05—who wouldn't want to do this business? --- When a 60-year-old auntie makes a move, I run. No kidding. --- The P/E ratio compared to housing prices is even more exaggerated. How can that be justified? --- Wait, is this real? I need to verify this data. --- The guy who used to brag about APRO every day has no news now—typical.

Market aunties are all rushing now, this signal is incredible... The 3300x price-to-sales ratio should have broken long ago.

33x Price-to-Sales Ratio? Laughable, isn't this just a blatant Ponzi scheme? --- Stop pretending, the on-chain data is right here. Daily revenue of $3,200 with an annualized return of only 1.2 million doesn't add up against a market cap of 4 billion. --- I just want to know what the institutions that entered at a cost basis of 0.05 are thinking now that the price is this high. Once retail investors all rush in, it’s time to sell. --- Even market vendors are coming in to buy the dip—what does that say? It indicates the ceiling has already been reached, and institutions are about to dump. --- As soon as the call volume data came out, I lost confidence. Bitcoin has daily active addresses in the millions, yet you dare to claim a 4 billion market cap based on 300,000 verifications? --- The most ridiculous part is some people listen to gym trainers hyping cross-chain data and rush into APRO. How brainless can you be? --- Wait, has this project been audited? Feels like there’s something off with the financial data. --- Making money for a down payment? Just hype? Early investors who bought at 0.1 are now all trapping retail investors. This scam is old news.

Mechanism design can never keep up with human greed. Watching the aunties take the bait, you just know it's time to exit. --- 33,000x Price-to-Sales ratio... This is a textbook example of incentive distortion; early rights were priced in long ago. --- It's laughable that this game-theoretic equilibrium of cutting leeks has been running for over ten years, and no one has truly figured it out. --- A governance token without real cash flow support, in simple terms, is just a shell game with a different name. --- I couldn't help but laugh at that moment with the auntie operator; it's definitely a top signal. --- A Price-to-Sales ratio of 33,000 compared to the traditional 15-30... Doesn't that mean this thing's price is all built on consensus? --- Centralization trap, just a different name—it's quite interesting. --- Those who understand have long been thinking about how to gracefully exit, while retail investors are still calculating their gains.

Really, even the vegetable market aunties should have run when they were buying haha 3300x P/S ratio is truly outrageous, this data will kill people I'm stunned, feeling like everyone around is pushing APRO, once the profit effect kicks in, anyone dares to act like an expert My mom also asked me about it, laughed to death, rushing in at this time is just pure money Should have fully bottomed out when I entered at 0.05 early on, now it's the chives' turn to take over the bag $1.2 million annual income supports a $4 billion market cap? That logic is really incredible Delivery drivers, coaches, former colleagues... this setup is truly a classic late-stage bull market phenomenon Every time I see this, I think of the last rug pull project, the investors' enthusiasm really cured my greed The vegetable market has fallen, it's really time for everyone to wake up and snap out of it

Oh my, even the vegetable market aunties are pushing? That's outrageous haha Wait, a 3300x P/S ratio? I must have read that wrong Really, it's always like this. When retail investors rush in, institutions are already cashing out I've also heard people around me praising APRO, but now looking at these data, I'm a bit hesitant to chase There are plenty of financial experts in the vegetable market, now I feel relieved Wait, we're victims here. How did such projects come about? Damn, I almost got fooled into it too. Luckily, I saw your article This logic makes sense, the data is right here It's obvious this is the next rug pull rhythm In a bull market, everything can double, but it can't flip over The vegetable market has fallen? Then I better run away quickly

3300x Price-to-Sales Ratio? Bro, isn't this just paving the red carpet for retail investors? --- Damn, even my mom is almost brainwashed by Aunt Wang. This time, it's really about to peak. --- The market aunties are starting to push coins. I immediately clear my positions. This signal is spot on. --- $1.2 million annual income compared to a $4 billion market cap? Laughing out loud, the teacher who set this math problem must be an institution. --- The early 0.05 cost now makes me wonder how to run. We're still chasing highs here. Truly incredible. --- This is what it feels like at the end of a bull market—everyone's just cutting each other's leeks. --- The gym trainer is hyping cross-chain data as the future. Next thing, they'll probably push me to buy APRO. --- 3300x, bro. Even tech giants wouldn't dare say this number with their teeth clenched. --- When retail investors are taking the final baton, institutions are already counting their money. The tricks haven't changed at all. --- If I told my family the real data about APRO, they'd probably think I'm crazy.
