Speaking of a certain small coin, I have to share my blood and tears lessons. That time when I was testing the low point on the chart, I cut a 10% fall thinking I could run, but the coin price was brutally dumped down by 50%. The moment I opened my eyes in the morning, I was really shocked; luckily I reacted quickly and didn't get buried in.

The more outrageous things are still to come. Last week, this coin suddenly surged, and I felt a bit tempted again. I tried shorting and went long, and after some back and forth, I finally understood — certain institutions that developed DEX trading applications are harvesting behind the scenes. Their scythes are really fast to an outrageous extent.

After trading for so long, I am increasingly clear about a fact: the rules of this market have changed. Those institutions with applications, ecosystems, and capital backgrounds have become incredibly skilled in their trading strategies. The retail investors' lucky mentality is suicidal in front of them. It's not that small coins can't be traded, but one must understand who they are playing against and how strong their opponent's weapons are. This is my first lesson.
