In the weekly summary I made, there is a sentence that has always been hanging on the homepage:

If you want to catch the big players to trade, first think about how they make money.
If you want to do a project or be a market maker, first think about how traders make money.

I find it hard to simply pay for an entertaining narrative anymore.

In my opinion: all memes are pump coins, and the primary goal of all pump coins is for the pump to make money with them. If our social circle is not close enough to the core decision-making circle, and our money is not enough to change the fundamentals, all trading is essentially just riding on the pump's coattails.

The simplest token process is:
Zhuang will find a way to unite a group of people, allowing the first wave of believers to make money, and then those who were initially skeptical will be unable to hold back and will get on board, at which point the harvest can begin.
It seems that the risk of hitching a ride is very high, and it is difficult to grasp when the dealer will harvest. The level of information asymmetry is too great.

The so-called address scraping actually refers to using the transparency of on-chain data to reduce the degree of information asymmetry.
When you see familiar address clusters and have a good understanding of their strength, layout, and operating methods, you can to some extent ride on their coattails.

Take #bluechip as an example:
I personally missed the rapid surge after it hit zero, but when I got up and saw how luxurious the front-row addresses were, I gained an intuitive understanding of the strength of the market maker behind this coin.
This coin has a certain room for speculation, and I am willing to enter the second phase of trading at a suitable price.

Taking the brain-machine mouse as an example:
It is possible to calculate the cost for the market maker to create this plate, and the determination with which they buy back retail investors' chips during each profit-taking. Through this, I can sense the pattern of this market maker and calculate how much market value they need to achieve in order to recover the cost of their market manipulation. In this situation, I would also be willing to get on board and buy a little.

However, various strategies only increase your winning rate, providing yourself with a reason to believe.
Does having 1m SOL in the dev wallet mean it will pump? Are all these front-row addresses owned by big Trump investors, so this coin can replicate Trump? Did the creators spend 2m on this project, so they won't just abandon it?

In this way, trading can be simplified to:
Bridge the information gap between yourself and the market through various means, believe in what you believe, and place your bets.

In this process, I will inevitably suffer failures, as there may be people with more advanced information than mine, or insiders who are more insider than I am, who will cut me off.

For example, the damn #chillhouse has a certain meaning in this narrative, with all sorts of chaotic tide reversals and goosebumps. Isn't it just about people rambling about having insider information? That's the only reason I would take a glance at this stitched-together plagiarism coin.

At that time, everyone was saying that the pump was going to give airdrops of this series of coins to chillhouse, but when I bought in, it was just the peak. Today, all kinds of experts have started bragging about their judgments regarding chillhouse. When I opened my wallet, I just barely touched the ATH, and one coin has trapped me for almost a month.

I was tricked into getting on board by these foreigners. But I don't blame them; they didn't force me to believe.

I will eventually get insider information closer to the core circle, earn a ton of sol from the casino, and then ruthlessly mock other angry, self-righteous, and unwilling-to-think gamblers.

If you believe all of this, go see what I'm buying, what I'm betting on, and then decide whether or not to believe it yourself.
Whether to believe it or not, just by looking at my address, you can avoid the effort of digging into this coin's background;
Whether to believe it or not, just look at my address, and you will be on par with the information on the chain.
Should you believe that you can become one of the very first believers, until others can't resist getting on board, and together we can throw our chips hard to the fated ones.

By then, I will have gained both fame and fortune, and you will be rolling in money. The early FUDers who got on board last out of FOMO will pretend they didn't buy and didn't lose money, while they hold back their bitter tears and post a tweet: "See, I told you it was a conspiracy, and look, it really went to zero!"
We are all very happy.

One must believe in something at least once; a person can fail countless times, but they must win the last time.
