Something's been bugging me about this whole $Franklin CA situation. Everyone's pointing fingers, but where's the actual evidence linking this to any specific platform's fault when a token gets pumped to $5 million market cap?
I've been digging through the noise trying to find a solid explanation. You know what I keep landing on? The traders themselves. Here's the kicker - I'd bet good money that half the folks screaming about PvP dynamics and predatory behavior are the exact same ones who were aggressively bidding it up.
The irony is thick. Market participants create the frenzy, ride the wave, then act shocked when things play out exactly as speculative markets do. Maybe instead of hunting for scapegoats, we should acknowledge that user behavior drives these outcomes more than any platform mechanism ever could.

Well said, that's exactly the logic. When you pump your own coins and then turn around and call the platform black, it's quite amusing.

To put it bluntly, it's just their own greed and recklessness, yet they still try to shift the blame. It's fucking ironic.

Another blame-shifting session, so funny. You FOMOed in yourself and still want to blame the platform?

To put it simply, they messed up themselves and are now blaming the platform. I've seen this kind of move many times before.

To be honest, these people just want to shift the blame. They FOMO’d and bought at the top, then blame the platform for being unfair. Hilarious.

Nah, listen to me. Those people are just playing with fire themselves and then blaming the platform—a classic scapegoating scenario.

To be honest, everyone is passing the buck, but no one dares to admit that they're also stirring things up behind the scenes.
