And this is just one project. Many people have been through multiple cycles across multiple projects that have consistently siphoned their value over time, from Cult, Obey, Meth, TX, Solo, Coreum, and many others across the XRPL and other ecosystems. What most fail to realize is that these losses compound structurally and psychologically. One heavy drawdown after another keeps pushing people further behind while many continue focusing only on narratives, promises, and upside projections instead of understanding the mathematics of what continuous losses actually do. A lot of people are not just trying to recover from one 90% decline, they are trying to recover from multiple compounded losses across years of rotating between ecosystems and projects that continuously drained capital. Operating at a loss for long periods changes decision making, confidence, and risk tolerance until you start working on yourself and the way you view things through your own biases. Many remain trapped not because the information was hidden, but because emotional attachment, ego, and bias prevent them from seeing reality analytically. The deeper the compounded drawdowns become, the harder it becomes mathematically and psychologically to truly recover.

Interesting case with the lawsuit involving OpenAI, but it highlights something I’ve said for a while, working off borrowed wisdom can get you in trouble. The same goes for relying blindly on new tools like AI agents or large language models such as ChatGPT. In this situation, a filing reportedly referenced a case that doesn’t even exist outside of ChatGPT’s output. That’s a serious issue, but it also shows the difference between using a tool and actually understanding the field you’re working in. Anyone with real experience in legal research knows the process. When you cite another case, you always double-check and cross-reference the court filings, the docket, and the original sources. That’s basic practice. Tools can assist, but they can’t replace the discipline and knowledge required to verify the information. Technology can accelerate work, but if someone is leaning entirely on borrowed intelligence without the foundation to validate it, situations like this are bound to happen. Tools are powerful. Wisdom is still the safeguard.
