Recently, there's an interesting phenomenon—those altcoins that were doing well during the rebound phase, once you put real money in, the market starts to behave strangely. Large capital inflows are precisely monitored by the market makers, resulting in repeated shakeouts; small investors, even if they buy at the bottom, can't make much profit and end up wasting effort.

This is the dilemma faced by altcoins. When big players enter? They become prime targets for sniping. Retail investors participating with small amounts? Their gains simply can't cover the risks and transaction fees. Many people ask why I keep advising against touching altcoins—it's that simple and straightforward.

For example, some coins during a rebound look technically solid, with decent trading volume, but as soon as large funds flow in, they are immediately pushed down. This is not coincidence; it's a real game in the market. Either the funds are large enough to withstand pressure, or it's best not to get involved in this muddy water to avoid losses.

Basically, it's the hunter's playground for the big players; retail investors just end up being harvested. Once you get in, you're washed out; this thing is unplayable. Altcoins are indeed a trap; they seem to offer many opportunities, but in reality, you're just getting cut. Honestly, if your funds are small, don't touch altcoins. It's time-consuming, labor-intensive, and you lose money. I just want to ask, why do you have to go against the big players? If you can't make money and keep getting beaten down repeatedly, this deal isn't worth it. This is the curse of altcoins: once you get in, you lose.

Really, every time I see altcoins rebound, I want to jump in, but as soon as I do, they turn into arbitrage tools. You can't play this trick with altcoins; retail investors are just destined to be harvested. The big players target large investors precisely, small traders can't make money—who's winning this game? No matter how good the technical analysis is, it's useless; as soon as capital flows appear, you're immediately wiped out. It's better to play it safe with mainstream coins and avoid unnecessary worries.

It's really a trap, once you get in you're stuck --- Entering the market and immediately crashing, tired of this routine --- Rather than earning that tiny profit, it's better to wait for the big move --- The whales are here, retail investors have no way out --- Buying at the bottom is pointless, all the costs are eaten up by fees --- With small funds, you're just giving away your assets; with large funds, you're hunted down, can't play --- The coin I like drops as soon as I buy, how dark is that --- Shanzhai projects are just gambling, don't deceive yourself --- Damn, got precisely sniped again --- If your volume isn't enough, just stay honest and lie in the big market

Here we go again... When the market turns against real money, isn't this the lesson I learned from losing twice? Nothing can buy the lesson of early awareness. Getting swept out right after entering, averaging down on dips, risk control points are always beyond my reach. Small amounts are simply not enough to cover fees and lead to heavy losses, large amounts are directly liquidated, altcoins are truly a dead end. Looking at technical analysis is just lonely; when the whales dump, everything disappears. Now I only dare to go all-in on Bitcoin. Does anyone still dare to touch this stuff? I will never again test the edge of forced liquidation.

Altcoins are just a repetitive game of cutting leeks, entering means being manipulated Once you enter, the market crashes, it's really incredible Big players come? Sniping target. Retail investors come? Heavy loss on fees, can't afford to play That's why I only trade mainstream coins; altcoins are all traps Looks like good trading volume is all fake, when funds come in, it crashes immediately Don't ask me how I know, it's a bloody lesson Either they crush you completely, or you can't make any profit; altcoins have no middlemen To put it simply, it's a hunter's game for the whales, retail investors have little chance

Exactly right, this is a typical case of permission control failure. The manipulator's approach is similar to the abuse of owner permissions in some contracts—once they have absolute control, they can do whatever they want. Retail investors entering are like calling high-risk functions, and they get eaten up directly.
