The crypto, stock, and other markets are zero-sum markets. That is, if someone makes a profit, someone else has to incur a loss, and vice versa. In this market, there are many very smart people who understand how crowd emotions work. They make money from those emotions. A 50% increase in a coin - PEOPLE START INVESTING, a 10% drop - URGENT, ALL NEWS SCREAM TO SELL EVERYTHING. And that's how you get caught, they made money off you.
