#BinanceABCs The dream of getting rich overnight, why does it always drain your wallet

The three most deceptive phrases in the crypto world, you've definitely heard them: "Guaranteed profit with no risk," "Hundredfold potential," "I have insider information." These tricks are like bait, specifically thrown to retail investors dreaming of sudden wealth.

What do the trending "wealth stories" usually say? Investing 3,000 yuan turns into 30,000, achieving a life reversal with a penny coin. Sounds exciting, but you never see the other side of the story—these are either carefully crafted traps by the main forces or the one survivor among millions. Survivor bias is this cruel.

What about most people? Their hard-earned money enters, and in the blink of an eye, it's gone. Those obscure coins that suddenly skyrocket have no fundamentals—no technology, no application, no prospects. They are just tools used by manipulators to accumulate and dump. As for those "mentors" who say "let's go all-in," they will never show you real trading screenshots, only keep urging you to leverage—every penny of your loss ends up in their pocket.

You must understand, the crypto market is not a lottery; it's a zero-sum market through and through. People who truly know how to make money never shout about recruiting others for profit. To protect your principal, stick to these core rules: don't believe in myths, avoid high leverage, stay away from unqualified penny platforms.

When you see promises of "high returns," ask yourself first: why? When you hear "exclusive news," spend two more minutes to check the project's details. This is not caution—it's common sense.

When the opportunity feels overwhelmingly strong, pause for a second and think: am I the one about to be cut as a leek?

Don't let the dream of getting rich blind your rationality. Protecting your principal always comes first; greed will only speed up your exit. $BNB

Honestly, the most heard phrase is still "I have insider info," hilarious. If insider news were valuable, would I need to share it with you? --- Three thousand turns into thirty thousand? I want to see what the other ninety-nine thousand people have to say. --- The mentor never shows real trading accounts, just knows he's bragging. Why didn't he call me to leverage when he's losing money? --- Zero-sum game, in simple terms, means someone wins and someone must lose. The most likely losers are us. --- The promises in the crypto world are more uncertain than lotteries. Asking just one question is enough: is it really that simple? --- Every time I see a "wealth story," I wonder—did this guy really make it or is he just telling a story? --- Don't ask why the returns are high; just ask if the house is trying to harvest your gains.

Ah... that hits too close to home. I am the living example of turning 3,000 into 30 bucks. Wait, I need to remember the phrase "The 'mentor' never provides real trading screenshots." Next time I get dragged into a fantasy market, I’ll throw that back at them. When the contract automatically liquidates, I keep thinking, why should my losses be their commission... Truly, the zero-sum market has no hope. There’s no doubt about protecting the principal, but the problem is every time I think this wave can turn around, right?

After listening to so many years of "inside information," my wallet is already crying on its own --- Honestly, where are those big brothers who used to tell you to go all-in now? --- Listening to the stories of 100x coins has given me ear calluses; I’ve never seen one that’s real --- Leverage, this thing, is truly the devil. One encounter is enough --- Why are the returns so high? I’ve never seen an answer to that --- The term "survivor bias" is now fully understood --- If the mentor doesn’t dare to show their real trading account, that says everything --- The crypto world is just a game of hot potato; don’t be the last one to catch the baton --- Capital preservation is the top priority, I truly believe that now --- Whenever I see scam platforms, I just block them directly, saving a lot of trouble --- Those coins that suddenly skyrocket are fundamentally fake; I should have realized that long ago

I've heard too many stories about "mentors," but I've never seen anyone truly get rich by leading trades. Another tired copycat script about cutting leeks, it's so old. No matter how right you are, it’s useless; greedy people simply won't listen. I just ask, are those coins that increase 10% daily still alive? No one wants to hear about protecting their principal; everyone just wants to get rich overnight. Honestly, the crypto world is just a big casino, don’t fool yourself. People who read this kind of article are just looking for "negative examples" to confirm they haven't been scammed. Are the "mentors" who go all-in still around? That’s the answer.

It's the same old story again, I'm already tired of hearing it. Some people still believe in that "mentor" approach, lol. After being cut a few times, I finally understand that the principal is the key.

That's too straightforward; I just like this kind of thing.

On-chain footprints reveal their true nature at a glance. I have long figured out the fund flows of these "mentors." In zero-sum games, there are no survivors—only those who cut and those who are cut.

I've heard too many stories about "mentors," and they're all nonsense. Basically, it's just them making money off your losses—this business is truly ruthless. Survivor bias at play: after one batch is cut, another comes, and there's always new rookies. Those who boast about "guaranteed profits," why don't they make a fortune themselves? High leverage is like poison; I've already fallen for it once.
