Why 99% of Altcoins Exist Only to Be Traded
Altcoins don’t fail because of bad ideas—they fail by design. Exchanges curate them like bait, parading one shiny project after another to generate frenzied trades, fake depth, and short-lived volume. Behind the scenes, exchanges engineer this churn, spotlighting tokens not for innovation but for extractive potential. It’s not about technology—it's about turnover.
The real currency is volatility. Exchanges thrive on chaos because every spike, every crash, every liquidity vacuum is a transaction—and every transaction is a fee. Altcoins become the ideal instrument for this machinery: low-liquidity, high-hype, easily manipulated. Whether the token moons or implodes is irrelevant. What matters is that you trade, again and again, while they skim the spread and tilt the playing field.
Traders enter expecting opportunity but are met with architecture built for attrition. Algorithms front-run, bots spoof volume, and platforms bury real risk behind sleek interfaces and jargon-laced incentives. In this system, the more you engage, the deeper you sink.
Crypto trading isn’t a market—it's a maze. And exchanges control every corridor. In the altcoin theater, survival isn't the goal—extraction is. Your loss isn't unfortunate. It's the model.
