Talking about OTC projects, it's really like a curse. As soon as the buy signal ends, the market starts to drop, and I've seen this so many times that I've become numb to it.

The most outrageous thing is that some projects don't even get a chance to debut. They drop out of sight even before hitting the exchange, leaving investors with endless silence. Not launching is one thing, but what about those that do? It's even more painful. Breakouts become common, and the declines are sometimes so large that they make you doubt the initial decision.

Looking back at the OTC market over the years, the tricks are just a few: early hype, big V endorsements, promises of high returns. And then? Either the team disappears or liquidity dries up, leaving investors completely wiped out. Some say it's a market cycle; others say it's due to the team's incompetence. But when your wallet starts to shrink, all these reasons seem too pale.

It's the same old story with OTC, always the same tricks, I'm really tired of it. I just want to ask, when will there be a project that doesn't cut the leeks? Breaking the price is already considered good luck, some projects can't even get listed on exchanges, it's hilarious. Team跑路? Saying it over and over again just brings tears, the worst loss I suffered is something I don't even want to mention now. Big V endorsement? Ha, now whenever I see a Big V recommendation, I do the opposite. Talking about market cycles? It's just an excuse to shift blame; the money has already gone into the team's pockets. OTC is a trap I will never step into again; I've paid enough tuition.

nah the liquidity crisis thesis checks out... watched this play out like five times already. team vanishes, correlation matrix goes haywire, then it's just bag holders everywhere. classic black swan pattern honestly, almost predictable at this point lmao

Really, OTC is just a trap. The price drops right after buy signals are called, and this routine has been repeated for so many years. Not listing is one thing, but listing makes it even more hopeless; breaking the price is a common move. The team disappears, liquidity dries up, and all the talk about market cycles is useless—once the money is gone, it's gone. It's the same old tricks of hype, big influencers, and high returns, and every time they fall for it. Speaking of which, why are there still people playing OTC? Their hearts are really big.

Calling out trades and then crashing, I could recite this script myself, it's really just a repetitive cycle machine.

It's the same old script again, calling for a halt and then dropping, it's unbelievable. There are many projects that never go online, and those that do are also breaking the peg. I'm truly numb to this round. The team disappears, liquidity dries up, and the storytelling methods are the same every year, yet investors still rush in. When the wallet shrinks, any market cycle is irrelevant; it's just being exploited. I think some projects never intended to deliver value to investors from the start; it's all just a scam. Influencers really need to be regulated. These people harm retail investors every day, endlessly. Breaking the peg is normal; if you don't set stop-losses properly, you deserve to suffer losses. That's just how this circle works.

OTC this routine really annoys me. It's always the same script, just a different flavor. The team disappearing act is truly top-notch, directly breaking people's defenses.

It's all the same old tricks, dumping and running after breaking the peg. It's really time to wake up. Another project endorsed by a big V is about to be handed over; I knew it. OTC stuff, not launching is fine, but once it goes live, it's a bloodbath. The team disappears into thin air, and the wallets are crying. When calling signals, each one is more aggressive; after cutting, they block you. Truly ruthless. Break-even rate is 100%. I'm too lazy to even read the white paper. This is the norm in Web3, a gambler's game. I understood at the moment liquidity dried up—it's all a setup. Does anyone still believe big V? I'm truly amazed. Fell into the trap again. Can they learn their lesson next time? Definitely not.
