You know what's wild? The gap between what crypto traders claim as PNL and what actually happened is getting absolutely ridiculous. Everyone's suddenly a genius with a 10x portfolio until you dig deeper. The exaggeration game is real out here—fake screenshots, cherry-picked trades, selective timelines, you name it. At this point, scrolling through crypto communities and taking profit claims at face value is like... yeah, good luck with that. The noise-to-signal ratio has never been worse.

Whoa, I was wondering why all these 10x profit guys, turns out they're all Photoshop experts.

According to my quantitative model analysis, this wave of PNL manipulation has already formed obvious bearish market characteristics. Looking at historical data, a similar phenomenon also occurred in 2017.

Seeing through guys, the PNL show in the crypto circle is just a big Photoshop contest, every screenshot makes everyone look like a genius.

They're all just hype; having a real return rate of even half would be good.

Research shows that this information asymmetry phenomenon indeed exhibits systemic bias in the crypto market. From a technical perspective, the lack of on-chain transparency verification mechanisms has led to the proliferation of false narratives—notably, the cost of screenshot tampering is nearly zero, while the cost of reputation repair is extremely high. Based on the following data analyses: selective disclosure of transaction records, asymmetry in time window selection, and implicit risk handling, these three dimensions together constitute the current "signal-to-noise ratio crisis" in the crypto community. In summary, it is recommended that everyone refer to a 2023 research paper by an institution on behavioral biases of market participants— which details how confirmation bias distorts investment decision-making. Let’s return to rationality.
