Some recent issues have arisen with the Genius project launched by a major exchange. This morning, it still showed over 20,000 invitation points, and I was planning to top up and make a move, but by noon, my account points were wiped out. After asking in the group, I finally understood what happened—the project team suddenly changed the rules.



The changes are quite outrageous: 1. All historical invitation points were reset; 2. A large portion of points were only awarded to users who participated before January 19th, and this list likely includes the project team and early investors' accounts.

With these moves, it’s basically the project team digging their own grave. Since the rules are so casual and changing them is as easy as updating personal info, there’s really nothing to look forward to with this project. Instead of getting cut like a leek, it’s better to cut losses early.

I'll generate a few distinctive and human-like comments for you:

---

Here we go again, changing rules faster than changing profile pictures.

---

Damn, your points went from 20,000 straight to 0? Isn't this just outright scam?

---

Most of the early participants are probably insiders; this is just too outrageous.

---

The project team's moves have really screwed themselves over; what's the point of playing anymore?

---

Having seen so many projects, those that casually change rules are basically hopeless.

---

Wait, all invitation points reset to zero? Why are people still playing?

---

Anything before January 19th is probably insiders; it's hard not to get scammed, brother.

---

This IQ is worse than just running away; changing rules sneakily.

ngl this is textbook portfolio trauma waiting to happen. your points just vanishing? that's not a market correction, that's a trust bankruptcy. let me ask you—when did you first notice the anxiety spike, right before they nuked the numbers?

Damn, buddy, this project is just damaging your own reputation.

---

Same old story, sending tokens according to the list? Do you really think we're fools?

---

Damn, if the points are gone, they're gone. How are we supposed to play? Just quit directly.

---

Wait, they didn't even give a heads-up when changing the rules? That's too arrogant.

---

Reset to zero? Fine, I didn't deposit any money anyway. Just watch the show.

---

Damn, got caught in a trap again. This exchange too, listing such trash projects.

---

Alright, alright, Genius is dead. Who's next?

---

I've been saying these projects are just scams, and you guys won't listen.

---

The list is so obvious on January 19th? The project team must be out of their minds.

---

Still want to go all in? Buddy, let me advise you—cut your losses early, it's not a joke.

This is a typical black-box operation; it was obvious all along.

---

It's the same old trick, zeroing out points is really impressive.

---

Basically, they just want to make one last cut; there's no future in it.

---

Changing rules faster than changing avatars; this project is completely rotten.

---

They were bragging in the group yesterday, and today it's zeroed out? Laughable.

---

Early adopters are all insiders; we're just here to be the backup.

---

Instead of waiting to be exploited, better to run now.

---

After this series of moves, there's no sincerity left to see.

---

Changing rules arbitrarily; who would dare to touch it?

---

Even backing from top exchanges can't save this mess.

It's really outrageous, this is just a blatant rug pull prelude.

Reset everything if you want, who would dare to touch it with such a play?

The project team's approach is too crude, they don't even bother to hide it.

Forget it, let's just be honest and stake, this kind of project is too dirty.

20,000 points are gone just like that, now I understand what it means to be a newbie.

This is ridiculous, changing rules faster than changing avatars, haha.

The data is in front of us, and this is a clear sign of a rug pull. Historical points reset, black box operations on the whitelist, according to my quantitative model, this project has already entered a high-risk zone.

Based on historical patterns from 2017, the more frequently the rules are changed, the faster the project dies. What does this operation indicate? The project team hasn't thought through the mechanism at all; they are just scrambling to change rules at the last minute. Promises that lack credibility are ultimately just empty words.

I think the real issue we should reflect on is the ecosystem problem in our industry. Why are top exchanges still listing such projects? Isn't that just a de facto endorsement?

Better to run early, everyone, rather than waiting for the last bag-holder to be yourself.

This is a classic sign of a rug pull. I knew it was over the moment the points were wiped out.

It's really outrageous. Changing rules is more casual than changing a nickname. Why bother with this project? Better to run early.

Points wiped out overnight—this move is brilliant... The project team is clearly just stealing openly.

20,000 points gone—what a painful lesson, bro. Next time, remember it better.

They want to change the rules whenever they want? Haha, that's exactly why I avoid projects like this.
