The question arises: Why can those with money, who enter later, still acquire crypto from those who entered earlier? They have an extremely effective tool: your psychology.
Analyze how 'whales' and large organizations manipulate the market to accumulate assets from retail investors.
1. The Dance of Greed and Fear
The crypto market is not just a financial playground, but also a psychological battlefield. Those with money do not need to buy immediately at a high price – they can create volatility, causing you to willingly sell your assets cheaply.
✔ Push the price up high (FOMO phase)
• They create positive news, attract the community, and launch appealing projects.
• The coin's price skyrockets, you fear missing out (FOMO) and buy in at a high price.
• When the price peaks, they gradually sell their tokens to those who come later.
✔ Push the price down low (Panic phase)
• Suddenly, the market crashes due to bad news (often created by them).
• You panic, thinking the price will continue to drop, and rush to sell.
• They quietly accumulate the crypto you just sold at a low price.
Thus, the loop continues: price increases → take profits → price decreases → accumulate again cheaper.
2. Why Are You Easily Losing Assets?
You lose assets not because you want to sell, but because you are forced to sell out of fear. Whales understand that:
• Most retail investors do not have a long-term plan. They just want to make quick money.
• Human psychology is always influenced by the crowd. When people sell, you also want to sell.
• No one can withstand the panic when prices drop too much.
They do not need to manipulate the entire market – just control your psychology.
3. How Not to Get Trapped?
✔ Build trust in the assets you hold
• If you have thoroughly researched a project and believe in its future, be patient.
• A price drop does not mean the project is bad – it is just part of the game.
✔ Do not follow the crowd mentality
• When everyone is buying en masse, be cautious.
• When everyone is selling off, ask yourself: 'What are the whales doing?'
✔ Control greed and fear
• Do not FOMO when prices rise too sharply.
• Do not panic when the price drops sharply.
✔ Set long-term goals
• Whales do not make money from small pump events; they target large cycles.
• If you believe in the market, think further than a few months or years.
4. Conclusion: Play with Whales Instead of Being Eaten by Them
If you understand how 'they' manipulate the market, you can turn the tables:
✅ Be patient, observe, act when the opportunity is ripe.
✅ Do not get swept up in small waves, look at the bigger picture.
✅ Maintain your mindset, do not let greed and fear control you.
The crypto market is not for the psychologically weak. Those who understand the game will win the game.
