A pond with shrimps, crabs, water plants, small crucian carp, medium crucian carp and large crucian carp is a complete and good ecosystem.
A single angler with a single rod and two hooks, or a multi-rod with seven or eight hooks, will not have a substantial impact on the ecology of the pond. In fact, because they make baits to lure fish, the water level of the entire pond can rise by more than ten centimeters. For fish, these anglers can sometimes be honored as bait-making immortals.
But the nature of new-energy fishing rods or family-killing nets is completely different. When the fire is turned on the left and right, whether it is crabs, eels, or small shrimps hiding in the mud, they are almost all wiped out. The entire ecosystem has become an underwater desert after they have swept through it.
If we make an analogy:
Individual retail investors who are swindling coins are like those fishermen who are swindling airdrops and seeking profits. In most cases, they will not harm the ecology of the cryptocurrency circle. On the contrary, they sometimes activate the entire protocol, contribute data and traffic, and discover bugs in the protocol. They even do not easily dump or crash the market because they have worked hard to swindle coins. Retail investors' swindling coins are more of a supplement to their jobs, just like fishermen. They go fishing and of course hope to catch fish, but they do not expect to make a living from fish.
But professional hair-pulling studios are completely different. They make a living by pulling hair. Their goal is not to divert their lives, but to make a living. Their purpose is very pure, to study where the fish may be found, and then to fight in a group and mechanized manner, with equipment and technology. No matter whether the fish is big or small, once they catch it, they will immediately sell it at a low price and look for the next target. The agreement they are targeting is equivalent to a pond surrounded by a family-killing net. If no countermeasures are taken, then most of the fish in this pond will definitely be taken away by these people.
Personally, I don’t think there is any distinction between the two, good or bad. After all, no one stipulates that hairdressing cannot be a serious job. I even kind of envy these hairdressing studios that have the skills and execution ability. Once you get a big hairy hair, you will be free all of a sudden.
After all, most people want to do this kind of thing, but they don't have the ability to do it.
But what I can't understand is that when Chou Penguin was seriously fighting against witches, almost everyone was scolding him. I understand that the Puppet Studio scolded him, after all, hundreds or thousands of accounts that they had worked hard to disguise and feed were wiped out in one fell swoop, which is indeed a big loss. But those small Puppet Party members, or even retail investors who don't Puppet, scolding him, I think it's stupid.
The stinky penguin defeated magic with magic, and even enjoyed hunting witches. His behavior may be a bit high-profile. But the work he did, in the long run, is definitely one of the most iconic events in the industry:
Judging from the witch-hunting logic he has published so far, as well as the results of the witch-hunting in cooperation with major data analysis companies, this anti-witch operation led by Stinky Penguin is not only serious and persistent, but also the largest and most fruitful witch-hunt in the history of the cryptocurrency circle. Many deeply hidden and large-scale related accounts have been dug out.
Once this hunting operation is over, this list of witch addresses filled with reports, self-exposures, and time to appeal will have great reference value, and may even become an anti-Witch "oracle" for other protocols for a long time, and can be used directly.
Moreover, the process and logic of the prey itself will become a typical case in the industry, taking the anti-witch capabilities to a higher level, making it more difficult for professional hair-pulling studios, and thus promoting a fairer distribution of tokens to users who deserve them.
For those retail investors who are just trying to get a bargain, even if their few accounts are defined as witches, it is not a bad thing in the long run. When a pond is closed to fishing, the scattered fishermen who secretly go there to cast a few rods believe that the harvest will not necessarily be less than that of the pond that has been visited by the extinction net.
Currently on Twitter, in the cryptocurrency trading group, there is a constant stream of curses against layerzero and the anti-witch actions of the stinky penguin. But it is impossible that all of these cursers are from professional furry studios. Perhaps most people are being led by the rhythm, or they have not thought about the long-term significance of this matter to the industry.
So, think about the interests involved in the long term. You scold the stinky penguin for being seriously anti-witch, but are you really serious?
