There is an elder in the crypto circle who turned a capital of 100,000 into assets of tens of millions. He once said a phrase that revealed the truth of the market: 'Retail investors in this circle are like a flock of sheep led by emotions. As long as you can keep yourself steady, you can watch them make money with their emotions.'


The 'Achilles' heel' of retail investors is clearer to the big players than to themselves.
Everyone understands the principle of 'cash is king' during the Lehman crisis, but when it really comes to clearing positions and leaving, most people hesitate and can't make the move; by the time the market has fallen thoroughly and is consolidating at the bottom, the pervasive pessimism makes people afraid to enter; it is only when the moving averages show a bullish arrangement, and the price has risen a bit, that retail investors dare to muster the courage to buy—what they originally intended to do as 'buy low and sell high' ends up as 'chasing highs and cutting losses.'

This is the common disease of retail investors: greedy when prices rise, fearful when they fall, afraid of missing out when prices rise too much, and afraid of being trapped when they fall too much; their emotions are always led by the candlesticks. Meanwhile, the big players have already studied these human weaknesses thoroughly.


The 'high-quality leeks' in the eyes of the big players have these three characteristics.
In the crypto circle, the big players holding massive chips love to harvest these three types of retail investors:

1. The 'herd' that blindly follows the trend.
This type of retail investor never studies candlesticks or fundamentals themselves; they rush in when they see someone in the community shout 'hundredfold coin' and go all in when they see a 'big shot' recommend. The big players are best at using this: they quietly accumulate chips first, then release good news through media and communities to create a few big bullish candles, and when retail investors swarm in, they directly dump their stocks, leaving behind chaos.
What you think is 'the trend has arrived' may just be a誘多 candlestick drawn by the big players.

2. The 'gamblers' who are greedy yet impatient.
In a bull market, they always think about 'earning a few more points,' and in a bear market, they hope to 'pick the bottom and recover their losses,' holding positions for no more than three days, always staring at the market wanting to do 'T+0.' The big players enjoy these retail investors: they intentionally create false breakouts in the short term to lure them into frequently opening and closing positions. Fees, slippage, and stop-losses get triggered... The more retail investors struggle happily, the more the big players earn.
What you think is 'buying high and selling low' is actually just paying transaction fees to the big players.

3. The 'naked runners' who don't understand risk control.
Either going all in on one coin or using 20x leverage without setting stop losses, always thinking about 'recovering losses in one go.' The big players find it easiest to deal with these retail investors: as long as they slightly push down the market to create panic or pull it up to lure them, they can trigger their liquidation lines. Naked positions without stop losses are seen by the big players as clearly marked prey.
What you think is 'seeking wealth through risk' is actually sticking your neck out for the knife of the big players.


In the end, the game in the crypto circle has never been a contest of capital but a struggle of human nature. What the big players earn is the money lost by retail investors when their emotions go out of control. Only when you can control your greed and fear can you truly enter the market.
