When the market is dull, the crypto gossip always leaves people feeling uncomfortable.

CZ recently personally clarified the rumors about Tintin. The facts are simple—three exchanges of information, plus a ten-minute offline meeting, and a quick handover of a box, which was thought of on the spot. This level of contact, honestly, isn’t even enough for regular work coordination, yet it has been sensationalized into a major scandal.

But seasoned players see through the tricks here instantly. The more the market stagnates, the more elaborate the short-selling actions become. First, create public opinion and chaos; once market attention is diverted, the scythe of sell-offs is ready to fall. Could this seemingly nonsensical gossip actually be someone targeting BNB, using CZ as a smoke screen?

The rules of this crypto pond are clear— the more explosive the gossip, the deeper the trap is dug. Instead of joining the hype, it’s better to focus on your own wallet. Don’t let those petty news stories ultimately become tools for others to harvest your gains.
