The crypto world is never short of excitement, but what it lacks is experienced veterans who can see through the tricks.
Have you ever noticed that after hanging around in the crypto space for a while, you keep encountering these familiar scenarios: as soon as you go all in, the market crashes; as soon as you cut your losses, it rebounds; after taking profits, the market soars...
At first, you think it's just bad luck, but later you realize it's all a pre-written script, and we are all NPCs acting out the script.
Seeing through these "fixed patterns" won't necessarily make you rich, but at least you won't be the fodder.
1. The daytime decline is like an elderly lady taking a stroll.
Slowly dropping all day without volume; this is not a real crash, it's fishing. Wait until the Americans wake up, and you'll see it bounce back in no time.
2. The daytime surge is like a scumbag professing love.
The more openly they pump the price, the more likely it is a prelude to unloading. Just when you're feeling excited, the scythe is already lifted.
3. The spike is like a creepy ex-boyfriend.
It's not an accident! It's intentional! It's precisely aimed at your stop-loss line, just like a midnight phone call.
4. News is like meat buns from the cafeteria.
By the time you smell the aroma and rush over, there’s only soup left in the pot. Those who really eat meat have already received the insider information.
5. Group chats are like a pyramid scheme scene.
The more lively it gets, the more cautious you should be; when the retail investors collectively peak, it's when the big players are ready to trap them.
6. Get-rich-quick coins are like a floor-sweeping monk.
The coins that can really double in value are hiding in the corners and are ignored before they start moving. Those constantly in your face have long been targeted by the big players.
7. Heavy positions are like drunk driving.
When you invest too much, everything looks filtered, even a candlestick chart that forms a tombstone line seems like a golden pit.
8. Stop-loss is like a collective leap off a cliff.
What you think is a defensive line is actually the harvesting line set by the big players, specifically targeting retail investors' psychological defenses.
9. Breaking even is like a donkey chasing a carrot.
Every time you’re just 1% away from breaking even, it starts to drop again; the big players know your cost basis better than you do.
10. Missing out is like an ex becoming rich after a breakup.
Just after you clear your position, the market skyrockets. It’s not metaphysics; the big players are just waiting to shake off the last batch of retail investors.
11. Profile pictures are like free drinks at a casino.
The more excited/fearful/keen to recover, the more likely you are to make foolish decisions. Staying calm is priceless.
12. FOMO is like the delusion of selecting a concubine.
With money in hand, every coin looks like a potential stock; in reality, it’s an illusion driven by FOMO.
Those who understand the crypto world know:
Here, it’s not about who operates aggressively, but who lasts longer.
When you can smile and see through these tricks,
that’s when you’ve truly entered the game.
