A major exchange wallet kept showing "Smart money is buying." This time I couldn't resist the temptation and followed the moves. Just because this new token called "Sun Tzu" caught my eye and I thought riding the trend wouldn't be a problem. But what happened? In less than ten minutes, it dropped by 90%. Honestly, I was both angry and amused by this process—the manipulator's tactics are as brilliant as the token's name.

Since it's already happened, I might as well keep it as a souvenir in my wallet. Maybe in a few decades, when I open this wallet again, I can relive the experience of being "baptized by smart money." Although losing money in this experience was painful, on the other hand, it's the most vivid textbook of the market. Next time I see a prompt saying "Smart money in action," I need to stay sharp.

Ha, "Son of" coin, your name is absolutely on point. Just waiting to be cut. Carried by smart money, but ended up becoming dumb money... This move is just perfect. 90% in ten minutes, more exciting than a roller coaster, truly amazing. Next time I trust "smart money," I'll really be the grandson. A loss at souvenir level, enough for me to brag about for a lifetime. The name given by the market maker is really mocking us. The most expensive lesson in following the trend, ninety bucks in tuition is nothing.

Haha, the name "Grandson" is really clever; the dealer does have some skills.

Haha, that's hilarious. The token name "Sunzi" itself is an NFT-level hint. Compared to smart money? Bro, you're just a menu of smart money. 90% in ten minutes—this speed could even make it to the exchange leaderboard.

Haha, the name is just Sunzi, how savage is that? --- Smart money? I think the smart ones are the whales, with a 90% drop art. --- Honestly, I’ve also followed the trend... now my wallet is filled with souvenirs. --- Ninety percent drop in ten minutes, this speed is truly incredible, a textbook for reverse operation. --- Whenever I see a smart money tip, I jump in. Maybe we don’t understand smart money the same way. --- The name Sunzi is really ruthless, digging a pit for himself and jumping right in. --- Wait, when did this exchange start giving tips for cutting leeks? I didn’t see it. --- Next time I encounter this kind of signal, a three-second calm could save a lot of money. --- Waking up from textbook-level losses is more effective than anything else. --- A ninety percent drop was quite decisive, at least it didn’t leave you tangled over whether to add to your position.

actually, let me break this down—the "smart money" signal you got baited by is literally a textbook example of information asymmetry gone wrong. ceteris paribus, those wallet alerts are designed to create fomo before the actual dump happens, which is exactly what happened here lol

This is the trap I mentioned three years ago. I have long said that following the "smart money" is just a trap for the chives to be harvested, but when opportunity knocks, people become foolish. How many are still repeating the same mistakes now indicates that the overall trend is not yet in place, and the true high ground has not yet arrived.

Haha, the name "Sunzi" is really clever, the dealer's taste is unmatched. Compared to "smart money"? Bro, this wave is actually following the smart people's wallets with a reverse operation. Ten minutes 90%, the speed is really fast, just the direction is a bit off. Next time I see this prompt, I’ll just turn off notifications; out of sight, out of mind. Memorabilia? This thing should be called "tuition token." Smart money is buying, my wallet is crying. Honestly, I kind of admire the dealer's marketing tactics; such a clever name, who can resist? This is what Web3 has taught me about how to behave—90% of the lesson is tuition. Following the trend eventually turns into "crazy" following; next time, I really need to stay calm. So, smart money and us ordinary retail investors are playing fundamentally different games.
