Market manipulation, stop-loss hunters, liquidity traps—these terms are not wrong, but the problem is not with the terminology itself. The real issue is that many traders are still using these as excuses.

You need to understand one thing: these phenomena are bound to happen in crypto. This is not a bug; it is part of the market. High volatility, large capital operations, retail investors being swept—this is the reality of this market.

Instead of complaining about how the market behaves, ask yourself if you are truly prepared. Risk management, mental discipline, strategic discipline—these are the things that will actually help you survive in crypto. If you're still blaming the market, then trading might really not be the right path for you.

That's right, but many people haven't figured that out yet.

That's right, but most people just can't listen. Their first reaction after being wiped out is to blame the market makers; how could they possibly reflect on themselves?

To be honest, most people start making up stories when they get swept, like market manipulation or liquidity traps. It sounds professional but is actually just an excuse for not being able to handle losses. Those who truly make money never bother with these excuses; they've long relied on risk management and mindset to succeed.

That's right, but I still have to go over it once to understand, haha.

That's right, but some people just can't learn no matter what. They only realize the mistake after liquidation.

There's nothing wrong with that, but too many people are still fantasizing that crypto is a gentle market. Getting wiped out once and blaming the main players, getting wiped out a second time and still blaming the main players—how many times does it take to reflect...

Honestly, those who blame the market are basically all losing money.

To be honest, this is what I've been wanting to say all along. Constantly shouting about being hunted and manipulated, have you reflected on yourself?
