Attention everyone, I need to make this clear — those single-letter tokens that have been hot lately are really not investment opportunities. I’ve seen too many of these kinds of schemes, each one exuding a strange aura. Essentially, they are just capital games; ordinary retail investors entering are likely to end up with poor outcomes.

Let’s first clarify the most core issue: who really has the say in this market? Many believe that prices are determined by supply and demand, but that’s not the case. I’ve carefully examined on-chain data, and currently, the top 9 addresses hold nearly 90% of the chips. In other words, whether prices go up or down depends entirely on the intentions of these big funds.

How low are these big players’ cost bases? Ridiculously low. They’ve already made huge profits, and now, with just a little bit of capital thrown in, their returns can double. This is the most dangerous part — once someone has made enough profit, their next move is often to harvest.

Looking at the current market structure, the confrontation between bulls and bears is very obvious. On one side, whales are openly pushing prices up, not only holding large long positions but also continuously adding to their positions; on the other side, retail investors see the price soaring to absurd levels and generally believe it can’t hold, so they bet on decline. As a result, the scale of retail short positions is actually much larger than the longs.

This creates a deadly situation — as whales continue to push prices higher, those retail investors betting against the trend start to lose money and are forced to close their positions. When they close out, they even buy back to cover, which ironically pushes the price even higher. Imagine this: isn’t this just repeatedly grinding retail investors into the ground?

So my straightforward advice is: if you don’t have enough capital and risk tolerance, don’t touch these schemes. Watching others make money can be tempting, but once you’re caught, it’s too late to regret. There are plenty of market opportunities; there’s no need to step on this mine.

90% of the chips are in 9 addresses? Ha, this is a blatant leek-cutting scheme. Retail investors are still bullish or bearish, but they've already made up their minds.

Bro, you're so right. 90% of the chips are in 9 addresses. How can we play like this... Retail investors are just being harvested like leeks.

90% of the chips are in 9 addresses, isn't this clearly telling you the game rules? Retail investors are just being slaughtered. --- Haha, I told you, watching others eat meat makes you want to gnaw on bones, but in the end, it's yourself who gets repeatedly rubbed. --- This move with single-letter coins is outrageous. The whales throw in chips to double their money, and we just end up giving them money. --- They start harvesting when the cost basis is ridiculously low. This routine is played out, yet some still jump in. --- The bullish and bearish opposition is so obvious, retail investors are all doing the opposite indicator. It's really quite ironic. --- Don't let FOMO control you. This market is just a meat grinder. Without enough volume, you're just asking for death. --- On-chain data is right here; 9 addresses can control the entire price trend. What else is there to say? --- The seemingly crazy increase is actually whales playing with retail investors.

Damn it, it's the same old story. I saw this plot last year... Now I finally understand.

90% of the chips are in 9 addresses, which is outrageous. No wonder retail investors are all cannon fodder. --- It's the same old trick, every time. Whales pump the price, retail investors get trapped. It's boring. --- You're right, but let's not pretend. Who wouldn't be tempted to double their money? Which wins, rationality or greed? --- On-chain data is right here, I checked it too. It's indeed suspicious, feels like someone set a trap. --- The short orders pushing the price up in reverse was brilliant. Small investors really deserve to be squeezed. --- The problem is, even those who know it's a trap are playing. They just bet on running fast. And the result? --- These kinds of pumps are all about who runs first. Those who buy in later are definitely the ones being harvested. --- I want to avoid it, but FOMO is really uncontrollable, haha. --- The first 9 addresses are so concentrated. Regulation should step in now. --- Bro, are you shorting these coins or genuinely trying to dissuade? I can't tell the difference.

90% of the chips are in 9 addresses. Isn't this clearly telling us that we can't play? Retail investors just become the prey when they get in.

90% of the chips are in 9 addresses? That's outrageous. Retail investors are still thinking about bottom fishing, but they've long been waiting at the top to harvest. --- It really is a whale's playground. Going in just means you're there to send money. --- More short positions than long? These retail investors are truly digging their own graves. --- I just want to ask, how do you make money in this situation? Rely on luck? --- The big players who have already made enough at low cost are the most terrifying; next, it's time to cut the leeks. --- Instead of stubbornly fighting this market, it's better to wait for promising projects. Why step on this landmine? --- On-chain data is all laid out here, and some still dare to go all-in on single-letter coins. Their hearts are really bold. --- To put it simply, it's a capital game. Retail investors with no size entering is just giving away money. There's nothing to fuss over.

90% of the chips are held by 9 addresses, which is outrageous. Retail investors are just sending money when they enter. --- A typical whale cutting leeks game, with more bearish signals than bullish ones. This reverse indicator is amazing. --- Once you've made enough profit early on, start harvesting. This logic makes sense. Small retail investors like us should stay away. --- I saw a coin before that went from 0.001 to 0.5 in 9 months, then directly dropped to 0.0002. That’s when I understood everything. --- There are plenty of market opportunities. Why step on this mine? Are you brainless? --- On-chain data is all clearly written out. And some people still don’t believe? Truly astonishing. --- Being repeatedly rubbed on the floor, your metaphor is spot on haha. --- Don’t play without enough funds. You’re right, this is just spending money to learn a lesson.
