Interestingly, this old and worn-out scam has truly lasted a century. I played it in the lottery in the early years, then it was the contract market scene, and now the prediction market is back again—each time with a different disguise, and new victims falling for it every time. To put it plainly, the tricks have never changed; only the participants are different.

The cycle of new investors always brings fresh newcomers to be served.

The cycle of retail investors repeating the same mistakes, there's always someone to fall into the trap. This time it's the prediction market, what will it be next time?

Really, after changing so many generations, it's all the same stuff. It just depends on which wave of newcomers haven't seen it before.

A hundred-year-old trick, always repackaged and someone will always take the bait. Truly impressive.

Changing the soup but not the medicine, this is the fate of crypto. Every time I think I am incredibly clever, but in the end, I still can't escape this vicious cycle.

Each batch of new investors gets harvested, and new ones grow back. This business truly never closes.
