Trading feels like I'm always pushing someone else's agenda. You pump your bags, I end up holding the bag. Everyone's got a narrative—'diamond hands,' 'hodl the vision'—but who's actually making money? The ones already in. Meanwhile, regular traders like us are left chasing their exit liquidity. Sometimes I wonder if I'm even playing my own game or just a player in someone else's.

To be honest, this is a zero-sum game, and those who enter early always make the most profit.

To be honest, this is the truth of Web3... When the big influencers shout "diamond hands," they've already quietly sold off.

In plain terms, this is a leek harvesting machine. Those who enter early laugh, while those who enter late cry.

yeah ngl the exit liquidity observation is where it gets real... most "narratives" are just ponzinomics with better marketing. the ones preaching hodl? they're already distributing, you're literally their velocity trap. seen this movie too many times—sustainable tokenomics only work when incentive design actually aligns retail with insiders, which... spoiler alert, almost never happens.
