Understanding the key to the cryptocurrency market is about grasping how the major players operate.

Their tactics are actually quite clear — it's not just about speculating on a single project, but about creating a narrative cycle for an era and capturing the entire track. The evolution over the past few years makes this obvious:

In 2017, ICOs exploded, and blockchain was still a new thing; by 2019, DeFi took over as the new hot spot; from 2020 to 2021, NFTs and GameFi expanded the imagination space; last year, Meme coins suddenly gained popularity and became topics of casual conversation; now, new concepts like AI, RWA, and Depin are taking turns to come to the forefront.

Although it seems like different concepts are rotating, the underlying logic remains the same — each wave of narrative rise and fall is accompanied by a major shift of funds. Smart participants have long seen through this game rule.

Basically, it's just retail investors taking turns controlling the market. Who knows what AI will do this year or next year?

Basically, it's just a cycle of harvesting the little guys, continuing to cut with a different concept.

Basically, it's the pattern of harvesting the little guys, just using a different concept to continue wielding the sickle.

Basically, it's just the strategy of the big players rotating to harvest retail investors' profits, switching to a new concept each time.

That's right, this is a roulette game, betting on who can hit the right rhythm. I've seen through this setup a long time ago; the key is still having money... It's both narrative and track, in plain terms, it's just the house eating the players. Huh, why does it feel like I'm always the last one, the one losing money. I missed that wave of NFTs, and now I regret it to death. The big fund shift sounds intimidating, but it's actually just a polite way of saying it's a way to cut leeks. This logic is the same in traditional finance, nothing new. Understand it, but if you really want to follow, you still have to risk your life.

Basically, it's just the same group of retail investors taking turns to be the "house," each time changing to a new skin and getting exploited again.
