Crypto Is Rigged Against You
No influencer, no analyst, no YouTube guru will tell you this straight: the market is engineered so the majority lose while the minority extract.
📒 The Orderbook: Where the Game Really Happens
👉 Every price level is just bids (buyers) stacked against asks (sellers).
👉 Price doesn’t move on vibes or predictions — it moves only when one side’s liquidity gets eaten.
📈 The Anatomy of a Pump
👉 ETH trades at $3,000.
👉 Sell wall at $3,001: 5,000 $ETH ($6M).
👉 A whale slams a $20M market buy.
Result → all asks up to $3,003 are cleared. Price “pumps.” Retail thinks it’s a breakout.
📉 The Anatomy of a Dump
👉 Now ETH sits at $3,003.
👉 Buy liquidity between $3,003–$2,999: only ~$4M.
👉 Whale flips and market sells $15M.
Result → price slices through bids, free-falling to $2,995. Retail panic-sells into the dump.
➕ The Math Behind the Trap
👉 Retail buys $ETH at $3,003 during the pump.
👉 Whale sells into them, then buys back cheaper at $2,995.
👉 Wealth didn’t disappear — it moved from retail to whale.
📌 Why You Keep Losing
👉 Retail trades emotion. Whales trade math.
👉 Beginners chase green candles without looking at liquidity depth.
👉 That chase feeds professionals.
