Recently, I saw some shocking news—a major influencer in the travel community was kidnapped in South Africa. Apparently, the kidnappers had been planning for half a year, and even the airline, hotel, and local police were bribed. Although the person was eventually rescued safely, all their belongings were lost. This incident is truly frightening and reminds me of the crypto KOLs who flaunt their luxury cars, watches, and extravagant lifestyles every day.
Honestly, most people show off their wealth for a reason—either to shill for profit or to pump and dump projects. Ordinary people should never be fooled by these appearances, and definitely shouldn’t blindly follow the hype. Safety comes first; keeping a low profile is key.
As for the recent market conditions, things are still pretty quiet. There was a new so-called stablecoin public chain claiming to be invested in by Tether, but it didn’t even get listed on a major exchange’s spot market and started dropping right after launch. This clearly shows how much the market is resisting altcoin projects right now.
VCs have started hyping things up again lately, but to be honest, most of their projects are just for cashing out and leaving. The only assets truly worth holding are those proven over time—like BTC and ETH, or projects like BNB and UNI that have real business models and can generate revenue. Build your position in batches, keep risk under control, and don’t go all in on altcoins chasing short-term get-rich-quick dreams.

Showing off wealth will surely bring retribution.

Showing off wealth always leads to fleecing newcomers.
