Sometimes, a hot narrative gets consumed just like that, which is indeed quite unfortunate. But upon closer reflection, this is actually a common phenomenon in the current crypto market——a few major players and institutions hold the dominant voice and pricing power, enabling them to shape market narratives and guide public opinion.



This also explains why some seemingly promising concepts and projects ultimately fail to gain the expected attention. The market does not always operate based on fundamentals or innovation levels, but more often depends on who has the informational advantage and the scale of their funds.

What does this mean for ordinary investors? It requires more cautious thinking. In such a market structure, participants who master information, understand market psychology, and grasp the rhythm often have more opportunities. Those investors who enter solely driven by enthusiasm are easily targeted for harvest. This is not fate, but a market reality that needs to be recognized.

I've long seen through it; whales and retail investors are people from two different worlds.

Basically, retail investors will always be retail investors, and small traders simply can't see through the game played by big funds. --- Really, it's always the same routine. After the hot hype, no one cares anymore. --- Instead of studying the fundamentals of a project, it's better to study who is behind the scenes stirring the pot. That's the real secret to making money. --- After being cut a few times, I realize that information asymmetry is the biggest moat in this circle. --- Wait, what do you mean by mastering the rhythm? How do you master it? --- So ultimately, it's the Matthew Effect—more money makes it easier to make money. --- Isn't this just saying that you either become the market maker or accept your fate? --- Even if you see through it, there's nothing you can do. Retail investors, no matter how smart, can't compete with institutional armies.

Basically, the little guys will always be the little guys. Big players finish one round of harvesting and then go on to harvest the next wave.

The tactics of the market manipulators to cut leeks are just like this; I've seen through them long ago.
