#pippin Let's revisit the strategies of this pump and dump scheme. The Pippin token has long been without buyers, making it impossible to liquidate through spot trading. Real buyers on the DEX won't FOMO into a meme coin that's been around for over a year due to emotions. The holdings of the top ten addresses have hardly changed. In reality, on-chain wallet analysis shows that the operator's holdings are as high as 97%. The spot K-line has drastically shrunk, with daily transactions only in the millions or even lower, while the contracts are exceptionally active. The funding rate has been in extreme negative territory for a long time, resulting in massive short liquidations. The price trend has turned into 'slow decline or sideways → sudden vertical surge of 50% in 1-4 hours → rapid sell-off. As long as you dare to short, you can be liquidated at any time because the operator's cost of controlling the market is extremely low; to pump you up by 200%, they only need to use 0.5% of the chips.

When 97% of the tokens are in the operator's hands + nobody is buying the spot + the contracts are exceptionally active → this is no longer a coin; it is a meat grinder specifically designed to harvest shorts.

The operator is not in a hurry to run away because they don't need to— they just sit at home, making millions to tens of millions with a simple pull. Shorts are always the ones giving away money.

Give up the fantasy, cut losses promptly during declines,

Every drop 📉 is a trap to lure shorts; no one would go long on a meme coin that has surged hundreds of times. Even if you go long, the operator can easily liquidate you like a pin. One of the most profitable and lowest risk strategies for operators in 2025.
