Crypto circles are never short of stories of sudden wealth, but a closer look at the truth often sends chills down your spine.

Here's a classic case: someone bought a certain Meme coin for $27, and their account saw a maximum unrealized profit of 67 million. Sounds like a dream, but what was the result? The contract had a backdoor, the developer one-click blacklisted, and assets were instantly frozen. This is not scare tactics — it's the price of not understanding contract rules.

That said, has the opportunity truly vanished?

Let's look at how history has played out: In 2021, a single phrase from a well-known figure caused $DOGE and $SHIB to take off, and the market went crazy. Now $PEPE is stirring again — still the same concept of key figures, still the same market sentiment heating up. What new consensus will the next narrative revolve around? No one can say for sure.

After this round of reshuffling, as the hype subsides, projects with genuine community stickiness and constructive development may be quietly gaining strength. But — here’s the key — getting rich quick never means guaranteed profit. There are countless scam projects, and stories of zeroing out in a day happen every day.

The key question is: when chasing the Meme coin wave, can you also maintain the bottom line of contract security? How to balance FOMO emotions and risk management?

DOGE2,19%

SHIB2,08%

PEPE2,58%

$27 turns into $67 million sounds great, but then the contract was instantly blacklisted. This is the true face of the crypto world... Stray dogs everywhere, FOMO is the most deadly. How many can really stick to their bottom line at the same time? It's again Meme coins and character concepts; the story is the same old song and dance. Who will be the next sucker to take over? Among the projects that survived this round of reshuffling, there may indeed be opportunities, but the prerequisite is that you have to survive until then. You really need to learn the contract rules well, otherwise even high unrealized gains are just paper wealth. FOMO and risk control, in simple terms, happen in an instant. Most people choose the former.

What does it matter if 27 yuan turns into 67 million? The key is whether you can withdraw it—that's the real punchline.

ngl the $27 → $67M pipe dream hits different when you realize it's just a honeypot with state transition vulnerabilities... classic MEV extraction playbook disguised as luck

$27 turns into $67 million—sounds awesome, but a single blacklist wipeout... This is the crypto world, where dreams and nightmares are just one contract backdoor apart. FOMO really can make your brain go numb. What happened to risk control?

At the moment of freezing 67 million, I understood that greed is the original sin.

27 USD turns into 67 million—sounds amazing, but then a one-click block, and this is the real picture of the crypto world. Backdoor contracts are truly hard to prevent; you need to learn well about these pitfalls.
