I’ve been following QUBT and RGTI for a while now and the price action is beyond suspicious. We need to talk about the "real" definition of a pump and dump versus what’s happening here. QUBT recently "jumped" from under $1 to over $10, but look at the history: it’s a graveyard of reverse splits and insane "adjusted" prices that make it look like it was once worth $500k. That isn't real growth,it’s mathematical manipulation to hide a falling knife.
**The pattern is always the same**: a massive PR blast about a "NASA subcontract" or a tiny acquisition (like Luminar or NuCrypt), a **9,000% revenue** "surge" on paper that is still barely a few million dollars and then the inevitable dump as retail gets left holding the bag. RGTI isn't much better, riding the "quantum hype" wave without showing a clear path to actual commercial scale. These stocks trade at **ridiculous price-to-sales ratios that make no sense**. Are we looking at actual tech breakthroughs, or is this just a sophisticated shell game using quantum buzzwords to lure in retail liquidity? I’m leaning toward the latter,these setups feel incredibly "fishy" and designed for insiders to exit at the peak.
