Currently, the active participants in a certain public chain ecosystem are mostly highly organized entities, with a large amount of follow-on capital. In reality, only about 200-300 people are actively involved, and there are at least dozens of hidden whales. On one side, retail investors make a move, and immediately someone dumps the market; 5% and 10% chips are repeatedly sold off, and when there is buying interest at the open, it is immediately suppressed. How can such a market environment be sustainable?

Many people hope for financial freedom in the New Year, but as soon as they enter, they encounter this kind of situation—low participation, active whales, and price manipulation. Frankly, a true market should have sufficient liquidity, diverse participants, and a sound price discovery mechanism. Not a pattern where a few people control the rhythm. We need to think about how such an ecosystem can still develop healthily.

This is just a game of "pass the flower while beating the drum." Retail investors entering are just the bagholders. Wake up, everyone. A game played by 200-300 people, what are we even comparing ourselves to? Really. I've seen many cases of the market maker smashing the sell button; honestly, it's just collecting chips and waiting for the next round of new investors to enter. Financial freedom? First, preserve your principal. The current ecosystem is just not worth watching. Low participation means easy price manipulation. The logic is simple—where a few people call the shots, there is no future. Instead of constantly watching the charts and chasing highs or selling lows, it's better to wait until this ecosystem truly cools down before taking action. Someone should have stepped up to rectify this situation long ago; otherwise, it's really unplayable. Lack of liquidity is a fatal flaw. Don't expect any healthy development. There are plenty of new investors; the market makers will just keep cutting, as long as someone is willing to send money. Looking at this kind of market makes me tired. It's better to find an ecosystem with real strength.

Isn't this just a game of hot potato? Whoever catches the last ball will be the one to lose Retail investors getting in are just destined to get burned. Wealth freedom? Dream on A few hundred people controlling the market. I think we need to wait until the ecosystem truly has users This kind of setup can't be played at all. Instead of getting smashed in, it's better to wait for a real opportunity It looks lively, but in reality, it's just a few people taking turns to cut each other's leeks

This is just a farmland, retail investors entering are doomed to be exploited. 2-300 people playing an ecosystem, can you believe it? No, this kind of setup is impossible to participate in unless you're also on the side of the big players. That's why I'm currently just watching and not daring to act. Talking about financial freedom, let's first experience being freely exploited. With such poor liquidity, how can it develop healthily? The dumping is so aggressive, it feels like someone is just waiting to harvest the leeks. Rather than making money, it's better to learn how to survive first.

Bro, your analysis is spot on. I'm already tired of games with 200-300 players. It's just like harvest after harvest of crops; retail investors are always the last to take the hit. Do you really think this ecosystem can develop healthily? First, get rid of those dozens of big players. Financial freedom? Ha, don't even think about it if you enter this pond. You're right, with such poor liquidity, how can the prices be genuine? It's purely hype created artificially. I think the main problem now is that there are too many newcomers who have no idea what kind of trap they've entered. Is that all? You might as well go to a public chain with higher trading volume. If this continues, the ecosystem is definitely doomed. A dead pond, who would dare to come?
