Crypto success stories happen every day, but tragedies of wiping out overnight are never absent.

Someone used $62 to leverage a $1.5 million fortune, while others turned $27 into $67 million—sounds crazy, right? But that money can never be moved. When a contract developer hits the blacklist button, real money instantly turns into worthless paper. This is not an exaggeration; it’s the script played out every day in the crypto world.

The brutal truth is simple: if you don’t have control over the contract, then the assets don’t truly belong to you.

**The feast of the "tough dogs" is still ongoing, but can you hold on?**

Opportunities on the ETH chain are indeed still there, but the problem is most people can’t hold. Every day, projects fall from their peak to the floor price, as the market rapidly reshuffles—shedding those who only chase FOMO, ignore the code, and rush in based on intuition and public opinion.

**Ask yourself: are you a gambler or a player?**

Did you really review the contract before placing an order? Or did you go all in based on hype, influencers’ calls, or just one sentence?

If you don’t understand the rules, you are the target of rule exploitation.

**How to survive?**

First, slow down. Second, learn. Find projects with real backgrounds, open-source code, and locked liquidity. Don’t be fooled by "concept coins" or "celebrity endorsements" that are just hollow labels. Only when you can truly withdraw your money, it counts as real.

Let’s interact—before you jump into a project, do you review the contract yourself? Or do you just follow your gut? Share your thoughts in the comments.

I took a look at this, and control over the contract is indeed a pain point. Those who shout orders from big influencers and rush in are all lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

I know all about contract control rights; I was just too unclear before and got cut off.

Buddy, turning 62 into 1.5 million is not really getting rich quick; you're just working for the developers. --- A single line of code in a smart contract can instantly wipe out your entire fortune—that's the game we're playing. --- Those who are always FOMO are just newbies; read the contract before speaking. --- Unholdable gains are equivalent to no gains—that's a hard truth. --- Open-source and locking liquidity is the only way to dare to touch it; everything else is a slaughterhouse. --- I just want to ask everyone, do you really read the contracts yourself or just talk nonsense? --- Dog coins can indeed turn around, but the question is, can they come out after turning around? --- The difference between a gambler and a player is just that one thought. --- When big influencers call for buy-ins, they usually can't escape.

It's the same story again, sounds very nice, but when it comes to All in, who really reads the contract?

27 bucks for 67 million? Just hearing about it is enough. That money has already been locked in the pool by the devs. Do you really think you can withdraw?

62 bucks to 1.5 million? That's hilarious. This money can't be moved at all. With just one blacklist by the developer, you're already a leek.

It's the same old story, but it really hits home... There are just too many people following their feelings, not even reading the contracts.

Listening to the 62 yuan turn into 1.5 million is just a joke, wake up everyone, this is just a slaughterhouse. The difference between gamblers and players is one sentence: whether they look at the contract or not. Year after year, the local dogs keep crashing, and people always suffer heavy losses. Why are you so confident that you will be the next lucky one? Real money just disappears with a click. This is not investment; this is gambling. What happens to those who rush in with FOMO? Think about it carefully. Don't go all-in on unfamiliar contracts. It's not chicken soup; it's the truth. Open source + locked liquidity—once these are in place, then consider other things. Following big V calls just waiting to be cut, the ending is always the same. Taking it slow can really help you survive longer. Don’t believe it? Just wait to be washed out. Contract permissions controlled by others—what kind of asset is that?
