Author: Inna Golovacheva, an observer of the era where algorithms, not people, liquidate you.

If you still think that the market is controlled by greedy uncles in expensive suits from Wall Street, you are stuck in the 90s. Today, bots are at the helm. Not the ones that send you spam on Telegram, but real predators: high-frequency, arbitrage, frontrunners, networkers, and scalpers. Each has a goal: your deposit.

Hello from the future: we live in an algorithmocracy. Buuuuuh.

Bots don’t sleep. They have no vacations, emotions, Mondays. They don’t read the news; they read reactions to the news faster than you can say "buy the dip."

While you think about whether to enter or not, the bot has already entered, exited, and set a trap for you. This is especially vivid in the crypto market: speed is everything here, and if you are trading manually, you are already behind. Literally.

Who are these bots and what do they live on?

Market makers create order books, create the illusion of liquidity, and collect stops like mushroom pickers in season.

Networkers place limit orders with a few cents step and scalp on fluctuations. It’s like playing chess in the rain: useless, but beautiful.

Frontrunners see your trade before the exchange does and jump in front of you. Like "hey, wait, I’m first!"

Snipers wait for liquidations and swoop in the moment your position is liquidated.

AI is not a threat, but already the boss. Yes. Are you afraid that AI will take your job? Relax. It already has. It’s an analyst, trader, clicker, scalper, and even an influencer with fake yacht photos. It’s the reason you are reading this text and thinking: "Maybe I should just forget about trading?"

What should mortals do?

1. Learn to understand the behavior of bots. Don’t fight them, ride their wave. See a fake pump - it’s probably bots. See a wall in the order book - it might be a trap.

2. Don’t trade against the trend.

Trends are set by machines. You can be a philosopher, but don’t be a hero.

3. Use bots to your advantage. Smart traders use trading bots themselves. Set them up, but wisely. Algorithms don’t decide for you; they just execute.

Crypto is the perfect home for bots:

- trading 24/7;

- there are no regulators with paddles;

- volatility, like an actress at auditions in Hollywood;

- exchanges are open to APIs, like doors in 2007 for ICQ;

- in the crypto market, you are not competing with people, you are competing with code.

👑 And yes, the world is ruled by bots.

They influence price, volume, liquidity, sentiment, and even memes. An influencer tweeted "wagmi"? Maybe that’s a bot too. Did you buy a coin based on a chat signal? Yep, that was a bot as well. You think you are trading. But in reality, you are being traded.

If you want to survive, be smarter than the algorithm, and if you can’t - become its master.
