Today there is a different kind of energy in the air... not fear, not stress - but something that people haven't felt in many weeks: hope. Donald Trump just said that the war with Iran could end very soon. Not someday... not in a few months... but soon. And that's not just talk. Reports indicate that both sides may actually sit down this weekend. Real negotiations. Real faces. Real decisions that could finally bring this conflict to an end.

In just 2 weeks, RAVE increased by 75 times, market capitalization rose to nearly 5 billion USD, and futures volume exceeded 10 billion USD in a single day.
As a result, a series of traders got caught in a Short Squeeze as RAVE's price continuously increased, leading to total liquidations of tens of millions of USD.
Such artificial price increases make many people think about the opportunity to short sell and reap enormous profits.
But with crypto, these kinds of artificial price spikes are not rare and can even escalate to very crazy levels to wipe out short sellers before the price plummets.
Before RAVE, there were also PIPPIN, MYX, STO,... Hopefully, you all can draw profound lessons from such artificial price spikes. #Rave

🚨 The verbal sparring between $WLFI and Justin Sun continues
⚡️ The $WLFI project team, after being fudged by Justin Sun, quickly countered:
🟢 Is there anyone who still believes in Justin Sun?
🟢 Justin's familiar tactic is to play the victim while making unfounded accusations to cover up his own wrongdoings. The same script, just a different target. $WLFI is not the first time.
🟢 We have a contract. We have evidence. We have the truth. See you in court. —————————————————
☄️ Justin Sun continues to respond after the $WLFI counterattack
🟢 Anyone behind this official account, please step forward and reveal your identity.
🟢 All actions of the WLFI team aim to secretly install a "backdoor" to control users' assets, freeze investors' funds without clear notification or process, and treat the crypto community like a personal ATM — someone must be held personally responsible for those actions.
🟢 As the largest investor in this project, Justin Sun demands that those involved disclose their identities, instead of continuing to remain anonymous in the shadows.
