The recent trend of the PIPPIN token is really bizarre. In just one month, its market cap shot up from 10 million to 250 million. Anyone with some market sense can tell that this kind of pump is suspicious. It's obvious there's a whale manipulating things behind the scenes. Retail investors getting in now? That's pure gambling, just hoping to get out before being left holding the bag.

But honestly, I don't buy it when people keep saying, "The altcoin era is completely over." Can human nature really be changed? Greed is etched into our genes—the more people say to stay away, the more others can't help themselves. The market is still the same, whales will keep pumping, and retail investors will keep jumping in—this cycle won't stop.

Right now, I have just one thought: I just hope my position doesn't get wiped out in one sweep and that I can hold on until the next cycle—I'd count myself lucky.
