A shitcoin pump & dump is a perfect balance between those pulling the rug and those standing on it. It's a zero sum game. This is because there's no valuable 'quality' to the asset.

For every dollar made on the upside, there's a dollar lost on the downside.

If you trade crypto, know that any profits you take are a loss for somebody else. And know that the only use case for whatever shitcoins you have, is to rip somebody else off.

What about #bitcoin? Well, Bitcoin has valuable 'qualities'. One of which is to provide a vehicle to store value.

When you buy it and hodl it, you actually improve these qualities.

When you sell it for fiat, the only one you're ripping off, is yourself.
