A Decade in Crypto Taught Me This Hard Truth
After ten years in the crypto trenches—through moonshots, crashes, and every market illusion in between—one truth has become crystal clear: the system is rigged against you. Exchanges aren’t just middlemen; they’re the house, and the house always wins.
Here’s what I’ve seen play out over and over again:
Pump-and-dumps aren’t random—they’re orchestrated. Whales and exchanges move in sync, creating hype, then unloading on unsuspecting retail traders.
Liquidity disappears when it matters most. You set a stop-loss, it gets hit in a flash crash, then the price magically bounces back.
The more you trade, the more you bleed. Between fees, slippage, and emotional mistakes, your edge disappears fast.
The numbers are brutal: over 90% of retail traders lose money in crypto. Why? Because the game is stacked. Exchanges profit from your losses, your trades, and your hope.
So what’s the move? Step back.
If you can’t quit, then trade like everyone’s out to trick you—because they probably are. The market isn’t fair, and it never was.
Will you keep playing a game built for you to lose?
