5 Years in Crypto Taught Me This Harsh Reality
After half a decade navigating crypto’s chaos—bull runs, rug pulls, crashes, and traps—I’ve uncovered one brutal fact: this market is rigged against you.
Exchanges don’t just host trades — they engineer them.
Wash trades, fake order books, sudden liquidity wipes — it’s all part of the system designed to bleed out retail traders like us.
Here are 3 patterns I’ve watched repeat over and over:
1️⃣ Pump-and-dumps aren’t random — they're coordinated moves by whales and platforms, leaving regular traders bag-holding trash.
2️⃣ Liquidity vanishes at the worst moments — your stop hits, price instantly flips.
3️⃣ Overtrading = slow death — fees, slippage, and FOMO eat your gains silently.
Stats don’t lie: Over 90% of retail traders lose in this game. Why?
Because the exchanges profit when you don’t. Every fee, every panic sell, every over-leveraged move is money in their pocket.
The only real strategy? Don’t play their game.
If you must trade, do it with ruthless caution. Assume every move is a setup.
The house always wins. Are you still going to keep feeding it?
