Recently, some project operations are really frustrating. The good news just happened to be released on the day of token unlock, isn't that timing too coincidental? And it's hard to tell whether the news is true or false; it feels like the entire market has been played with by these kinds of tricks.

Take projects like Starknet, for example. Unlocking and dumping has already made holding tokens quite painful, and now they’re also coordinating with so-called "positive news." Honestly, after seeing this kind of operation so many times, I really suspect it’s intentional—using news to stabilize the price so that big players can exit easily?

Now retail investors are finding it increasingly difficult, as project teams’ tricks are getting deeper and deeper.

Here we go again with this set? Unlocking daily positive news at this timing, I dare say it's deliberate. I've long seen through it—news = price stabilization, price stabilization = selling off, just a simple and crude tactic. I didn't dodge the Starknet wave, and now I can't believe anything anymore. Tired of the tricks, the next sucker to take over is you. Brothers still waiting for a rebound, wake up—this is the new normal.

Unlocking the good news one second in advance, this tactic is so tired I almost want to write "we're just here to scalp the leeks." --- That move with Starknet was really impressive. So retail investors are just here to take the fall? --- It's the same old trick again: release news strategically, protect the price a bit, big players run away, and we end up holding the bag... tired of it. --- Basically, it's just using news to lull you into complacency, then selling when you're still hesitating. Old trick. --- If you tell me this timing is a coincidence, I wouldn't believe it, unless the project team has their brains fried.

Haha. Coordinating positive news unlocks, manually harvesting the gains.

Unlocking daily positive news, this routine is played out, I really don't know who still believes Basically, it's market manipulation and dumping, retail investors always catch the last fall I saw through the Starknet move clearly, it’s basically just a show The project team is getting more and more sordid, it's not interesting Honestly, now entering is just giving away the dish, let's wait and see

Is token unlocking a good thing on the day it happens? This trick has been played out, who still believes it? Really, every time it's so coincidental, I'm numb to it. That wave of Starknet directly broke defenses, unlocking and dumping combined with good news—this move is perfect. Why does it feel like project teams are all competing to see who can be more cunning? Retail investors are being thoroughly exploited. The authenticity of the news is hard to verify, but the timing is deadly accurate—if that's not intentional, what is? Is this to support the dump, stabilize the market so big players can run? We're here to catch the falling knives. It's the same routine again—good news just happens to hit at the most awkward time, truly incredible. After seeing this so many times, I start to doubt—so coincidental every time? It's hard to believe it's not intentional.

I've played this trick so many times that I can memorize it... Unlock + positive news + smashing the market, a combined attack They really treat retail investors as leeks, and still pretend not to know Regarding Starknet, I see it clearly—it's just a performance So the big players have already had their fill? This market is now just a game of hot potato, latecomers are all the bagholders

Unlocking positive news at the same time—this tactic is played out, who still believes it? Starknet is doing the same trick again, retail investors really should wake up. I'm too familiar with this move; it's the old routine of pumping and defending the price. Dumping the market while releasing good news? Haha, what a coincidence. Sending messages on the token unlock day, using such a strict schedule—do they really think we can't see through it? The project team’s combination punch is really slick, but unfortunately, the token holders are all victims.

Releasing the news on the day of unlocking... this tactic has really become commonplace, and Starknet's recent move is indeed a bit ruthless. The big players are timing their dumps perfectly, while retail investors are still out there catching the bag. With such deep strategies, it feels like it's time to find a new track.

I'm really fed up with this routine, it's always played like this Unlock daily guaranteed good news? Wake up everyone, this is no coincidence That Starknet move is truly outrageous, clearly dumping but trying to ride the news to stabilize the market? Haha What are retail investors thinking? Can't you see through this? The project team really thinks we're fools, speechless
