The Shark Trap: How Do They Take Your Crypto?
The question arises: Why can those with money, who come in later, still take crypto from those who entered earlier? They have an extremely effective tool: your psychology.
Analyze how 'sharks' and big organizations control the market to collect 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 high prices – they can create volatility, making you willingly sell your assets cheaply.
✔ Push prices up high (FOMO phase)
• They create positive news, attract the community, launch appealing projects.
• The coin price rises sharply, you fear missing out (FOMO) and buy in at high prices.
• When the price peaks, they gradually sell their tokens to latecomers.
✔ Drive the price down low (Panic phase)
• Suddenly, the market collapses 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 cheaply.
Thus, the loop continues: price rises → take profits → price drops → accumulate again at a lower price.
2. Why Are You Easily Losing Assets?
You lose assets not because you want to sell, but because you are forced to sell in fear. The sharks understand that:
• Most retail investors do not have long-term plans. They just want to make quick money.
• Human psychology is always led by the crowd. When people sell, you also want to sell.
• No one can withstand the panic when prices drop too hard.
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 chase crowd psychology
• When everyone is buying frantically, be cautious.
• When everyone is panicking, ask yourself: “What are the sharks doing?”
✔ Control greed and fear
• Do not FOMO when prices rise too sharply.
• Do not panic when the price drops deeply.
✔ Set long-term goals
• Sharks do not make money from small pump events; they aim for larger cycles.
• If you believe in the market, think further ahead by a few months or years.
4. Conclusion: Play with the Sharks 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 time is right.
✅ Do not get caught up in small waves; look at the bigger picture.
✅ Stay strong mentally, 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.
