The BSC Shiba Inu Wealth Creation Myth: Who Are Retail Investors Really Supporting with Their Hard-Earned Money?

Wake Up and Smell the Wealth? Wake Up!

Recently, the BSC chain has been incredibly lively. Shitcoin projects are sprouting like mushrooms after rain, with various “xx人生” (xx life) stories of getting rich overnight flooding the screens. Buying a coin casually before bed, waking up to see your account with several zeros more — this kind of script is enough to get anyone hooked.

Every day in the group, there are screenshots: “Made a ton again,” “Gold everywhere,” “From a few thousand to millions.” After seeing so much, who wouldn’t be tempted? Fundamental analysis? Not anymore. Secondary market? No longer touching it. Everyone’s only thought is: Could the next hundred-bagger be the one I hold?

But here’s the question — who is actually losing when you make money?

This game has never been a win-win

The crypto market has always been governed by the 80/20 rule, or even the 90/10 rule. Those eye-catching screenshots of wealth are either self-directed and staged market manipulations or only show profits, never losses.

Why? Because these myths are needed to attract new retail investors.

While everyone is dreaming of “xx人生,” smart money has already pulled out. They’re not still rushing on the chain, but quietly shifting most of their funds back to the secondary market — positioning in BTC, ETH, and other highly liquid, high-certainty mainstream assets. Maybe just keeping some spare change to play around.

When retail investors realize their “Golden Dog” turns into a “Dead Dog,” and want to chase mainstream coins, it’s often already at the end of the market cycle. Those who made their fortune relying on “xx人生” have already swapped their chips for Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Who is really making money?

Institutions, KOLs, Scientists.

The pattern is simple: institutions team up with a bunch of KOLs to issue tokens, riding the hype on big V’s Twitter. They might release hundreds of tokens in a day, often the same group behind it. Once a project catches on, KOLs swarm in — buying first themselves, then posting tweets to hype it up.

Scientists use tools for front-running, retail investors follow closely. But by the time you see the news, the price has already skyrocketed at least 100 times. Early entrants might make some profit, but latecomers are just riding the wave created by market manipulators.

Don’t talk to me about “fair launches.” If an ordinary person issues a coin and rides the hype, without KOLs pushing it, no one will pay attention.

Of course, some retail investors are lucky and make a little money. But project teams aren’t worried about you making money — they’re afraid you won’t keep playing. Retail investors usually make some profit, only to lose it all in the next project.

In the end, you realize: after playing with these people for so long, all your money has turned into BTC and ETH in someone else’s wallet. And the shitcoins you hoarded? They’ve long gone to zero.

How should the crypto circle keep playing?

Honestly, this gameplay has no long-term prospects. Once Wall Street institutions see this chaos, they’ll probably be furious.

Some top exchanges act as market makers, holding large amounts of platform tokens, pumping up the market to create hype, making the entire ecosystem the focus; then they team up with KOLs to create myths of shitcoin riches — stories of “thousands to hundreds of thousands” spreading across the internet, attracting more people in; KOLs shout and hype to create the illusion that “everyone can get rich.”

Meanwhile, well-prepared funds offload at high points, passing the baton smoothly to the last to enter.

So, as retail investors, you have no advanced technology or reliable insider info — best not to touch these.

Wealth has never depended on luck

People who truly achieve financial freedom often go through multiple bull and bear markets — gaining experience through volatility, holding onto their belief at low points.

Mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum are the tools capable of sustaining wealth long-term.

Going all-in on shitcoins? Be more pragmatic — focus on truly valuable assets.

MEME coins might make some pocket money, but the myth of “tenfold or hundredfold” riches belongs to only a few. Most people will just lose everything in this game.

Even if you do make a profit from some “xx人生,” if your wealth isn’t well-positioned, you’ll ultimately lose it all back through sheer force.

Stay calm, don’t get caught up

Right now, the wealth-creation myth on BSC has reached its peak. Those taking over the market might be lining up.

When this shitcoin craze passes, the market focus will likely shift back to the mainstream. The next wave might not be on BSC, but in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

I can’t tell you not to play — that would block your path to wealth. I only hope everyone stays rational and doesn’t lose their mind.

Stay sober to live longer.
