The institutional players walk away with serious capital gains while retail participants accumulate tokens and reward points. It's a bitter pill, but let's be honest—we're the architects of our own situation here. The asymmetry in the crypto ecosystem rewards those positioned at the front of the line. Until we demand better incentive structures or collectively make smarter participation choices, this dynamic isn't changing anytime soon.

That hits close to home, but this is the reality... Big players enter the market to harvest profits, while we're still counting tokens, lol.

Basically, you still need to be more alert and not just focus on the ups and downs of the coin price. Think more about what you're really doing.

That really hits home. Retail investors are just working for the institutions.

That's really hitting home—institutions are eating the meat while we drink the soup. That's the reality.

Basically, retail investors deserve it; institutions eat the meat while we drink the soup... but hearing that really feels uncomfortable.

That's right, but retail investors shouldn't be too complacent either. At the very least, we need to push this ecosystem to change its rules.

To be honest, retail investors are just leeks, with institutions harvesting wave after wave... But we still have to keep playing. Is there any way?

To put it bluntly, we're just the harvested chives, and we have to take the blame for our own choices...

Honestly, this is the current state of the crypto world. Institutions are eating the meat while we drink the soup, no one can blame anyone.
