Interesting phenomenon: a certain coin just takes off, and immediately someone posts a profit screenshot. But looking back, in the chat records before the rise, no one mentioned this coin, let alone any long positions. It's almost like someone can time the market perfectly and hit the right entry point at the right moment.

This kind of thing is quite common in the crypto world. Some cases are due to genuine differences in information channels, while others are tactics of front-running. Anyway, there is indeed a problem of time lag and information asymmetry.

I'd like to ask everyone, has anyone really opened a long position before such coins go viral? Share your experience, and let's see whether it's pure luck or there's some skill involved. Are these situations common on exchanges?

Screenshots are all armchair strategists afterward; this trick is old. I also saw that wave of market movement. When I go back and check the chat records, no one said a word. It's all luck; I didn't catch it anyway. I usually don't touch this kind of coin; it's too mysterious. If there were truly experts, they'd be financially free by now. Information asymmetry definitely exists, but most of it is just gambling. I'm actually curious to know if anyone has truly laid in wait in advance. Sincerely seeking advice.

I know this trick too well; screenshots are always after-the-fact armchair strategies. --- Basically, it's the gambler's mentality—win and screenshot to boast, lose and pretend not to see. --- I just want to ask, has anyone dared to post their loss orders? --- The biggest lie in the crypto world is profit screenshots; information asymmetry always exists. --- Familiar feeling, always see these miraculous trades only after the fact. --- Face-slapping scene: no one in the group spoke up before, now everyone is saying "I knew it would go up." --- That's why I no longer trust anyone's screenshots. --- Instead of looking at screenshots, it's better to look at the timestamp of holdings, but who would be that honest? --- If someone was truly that talented, they'd be financially free long ago and wouldn't be posting screenshots here. --- The core issue of information asymmetry is still insufficient transparency in liquidity; insider orders on exchanges do exist. --- I'm tired of this stuff; the crypto world relies on information asymmetry to survive. Nothing new.

Screenshots are all lies, I don't believe you. --- This is the usual operation in the crypto circle, don't overthink it. --- Haha, those who laid out early are all shut up now, only the latecomers are crying out. --- If anyone really knew in advance, they'd be financially free long ago and wouldn't still be here. --- Information gap is money gap, unfortunately we're all the latecomers. --- I just want to know if these screenshots are PS'ed? --- There are countless ways to make money in the crypto world, but none are transparent. --- Bragging doesn't pay taxes, and sharing screenshots doesn't either. --- There's some trivial trick, it's all just gambling luck. --- Insider information has already been eaten up by big players, we can't even catch up drinking the soup. --- Brothers who ask these kinds of questions won't get the truth.

As soon as the screenshot appeared, I laughed. I've seen this trick for five years, haha.

On-chain data speaks for itself; those who rely on post-hoc screenshots have already exposed their wallet addresses. --- True strategic positioning depends on private key security and patience in holding, not on showing profit screenshots. --- I entered early through contract audits; don't believe in timing differences—it's all about information gaps. --- Such incidents happen all the time. I already set up the foundational holdings in my multi-signature wallet, just waiting for them to realize too late. --- Risk levels are evident. Those daring to go long on obscure coins are either gamblers or truly skilled. --- Screenshots can't prevent anything; the key is whether on-chain analysis has detected early signs. --- Long-term holding is the right path; chasing short-term gains only makes you a leek, including those showing off profits.

All the screenshots are armchair strategists; those who are truly making money have already shut up.
