Which scams in crypto have become so common that we've stopped calling them out? Think about it—rugpulls rebranded as "team pivots," unrealistic APY promises wrapped in yield farming mechanics, celebrity shilling that somehow stays legal, or projects that vanish the moment they hit exchanges. We've normalized so much sketchy behavior that it blends into the background noise. The wild part? Most people scrolling through their portfolios don't even bat an eye anymore. Have we just accepted this as the cost of admission to decentralized finance, or should the community be raising more hell about it?

Bro, this is the fate of the crypto world. Once you get used to it, it doesn't hurt anymore. --- Rebranding "market manipulation" as "strategic adjustment," I almost believed it. --- Honestly, I've been numb for a long time. Who's still surprised by ghost stories every day? --- Celebrity endorsements are really top-notch. How come the law just turns a blind eye? --- Entry fee? Haha, your words are really sarcastic. It's just nakedly cutting the leeks. --- The problem is protesting is useless. The next project will be cut just the same. --- The background noise is well said. Now it’s all just ambient sound.

ngl this is just natural selection at this point... algorithms don't care about your feelings, only your hash value does

I've been numb for a long time. Now, whenever I see a project, it's all about timing with a stopwatch, 3, 2, 1... and then they start running away.

Well... what else can I do? I'm used to it. Anyway, once I entered the crypto world, I started desensitizing, and now even rug pulls can't make my eyelids flutter.

Someone should have said this earlier, I'm really tired of these slick-talking project teams. --- Rug pull is renamed "Strategic Adjustment"? Haha, we all know what that really means. --- The industry has long been numb; anyway, they’re not the ones losing money. --- Celebrity endorsements really should be regulated; now it’s no different from an air coin. --- I don’t protest because too many people are already used to getting ripped off, which is sad. --- It’s always the same套路, and I’m really speechless that some still fall for it. --- Instead of waiting for the community to protest, learn to recognize people; don’t be overwhelmed by FOMO again. --- This is the current state of Web3, a hell filled with beautiful stories.

Really, we've all become numb. Changing the name of a rugpull and it passes, who would even make a sound anymore? --- The most outrageous part is celebrity endorsements; they still cut the leeks and walk away unscathed. --- It's been expected for a long time; running away after listing on an exchange has become routine. --- The problem is no one dares to truly resist; the利益链条 (interest chain) is too deep. --- Why has it all become so natural? Is this really financial innovation? --- Under the guise of decentralization, they can do whatever they want? Laughable. --- Everyone understands it deep down, but they still keep playing; that's the craziest part. --- Protests are useless; in the ecosystem, whoever makes money stays silent. It's that simple. --- The metaphor of blending into background noise is brilliant; we have truly been domesticated. --- What can we do? The next project will still go all in; after all, there's still a chance.

That's incredible. Now even a rug pull can be whitewashed as a "strategic adjustment." Are we collectively forgetful or what? --- The numbers for annualized returns... anyone who believes them is foolish. Even the disguise of agricultural mechanisms can't hide it. --- Is it even legal for celebrities to endorse? How outrageous is that? --- The problem is everyone knows it's a scam, but they're still jumping in. What's the point? --- Not being surprised is the scariest part, showing this has become part of daily operations. --- Entry fee? Is this a redemption voucher? Haha. --- Community protests are pointless. As long as there are new retail investors pouring in, it will just keep going.
