Markets never forget their old tricks—they just dress them up in new code. History's got a funny way of looping back around, from the tulip craze to the South Sea bubble, and now? Same game, digital playground.



Someone hijacked a major exchange employee's WeChat account recently. Classic social engineering move. What followed was textbook pump and dump on Mubarakah token. The attacker inflated the price, dumped their bags, and vanished into the blockchain mist with around 55K dollars in profit.

The playbook hasn't changed in centuries. Whether it's tulip bulbs in 1637 or memecoins in 2025, greed moves faster than caution. The medium evolves, but human nature? That stays frozen in time. Every generation thinks they've cracked the code, then boom—same old lesson, different wrapper.

That's exactly right; this is what I've been wanting to say—no matter how fancy the technology is, human nature has never changed. 55k is gone just like that, the same story has been told for four hundred years.

History really does repeat itself... As long as there's profit to be made, scammers will never change their tricks. The number 55K doesn't seem large, but it is enough to illustrate the issue.

Another social engineering account theft, I knew this scam would never go out of style. Someone who can earn 55k is really ruthless, it's just a pity about that employee. History is indeed repeating itself, just with different numbers. Who will be the next unsuspecting victim to be taken advantage of this time?

History really is just a repeat machine, changing skins to continue harvesting the chives. Did 55K just disappear like that? Greed is always the market's deadly flaw.

History really just keeps repeating itself... Changing a skin and pretending it's a new game, 55k just gone like that, hilarious --- The insider social engineering trick is an old classic, as long as there's greed, someone will always be exploited --- Honestly, human nature is just too predictable. The code has been changed hundreds of times, but no one’s really thought differently --- What’s frustrating is that every time someone thinks this time is different... it’s still the same old trick --- The core is: the more high-tech it is, the dumber people become

With such obvious chip distribution, there are still people picking up the order. Typical rookie mentality hasn't changed. The pattern has formed, and now it's just a matter of whether someone will take the 55K order.
