Ever tried selling something fast, like... that vintage lava lamp no one asked for? 🫠 If it takes forever or you have to drop the price to pennies, congrats — you just experienced low liquidity.
In crypto, liquidity means how easily you can buy or sell a coin without the price going wild. High liquidity? Smooth sailing. Low liquidity? It's like trying to sell ice in a snowstorm.
Big coins usually have tons of buyers and sellers — easy in, easy out. But with smaller coins, one chunky trade can cause a nosedive or a moonshot.
So next time you ape into something? Peek at that liquidity. Your exit might depend on it. 🏃♂️💨
