Many people say the crypto world lacks money, but that's a misconception. The least lacking in the crypto space is money—what's missing are people willing to cut losses.

The longer you stay here, the more you'll notice a particularly painful phenomenon: astronomical trading volumes, yet only a handful of people consistently making money. Money doesn't appear out of thin air; it's just that the retail investors keep updating and replacing each other.

When a bull market arrives, newcomers rush in with the hope of "turning it around overnight"; during a bear market, veterans stubbornly cling to the idea of "breaking even." And what happens? The seemingly grand market movements are, in reality, a series of emotional sell-offs—FOMO, bottom-fishing, all-in, adding to positions, stubbornly holding on—repeating the same drama over and over.

You think you're studying candlestick charts, fundamentals, or logic, but in fact, you're just providing liquidity continuously. Most people lose money not because they're not smart enough, but because they're in the wrong position—standing at the downstream of a food chain designed to harvest them.

KOLs are responsible for creating idols, project teams draw big pie charts, exchanges profit from fees, and retail investors? They keep taking the bait and paying the price again and again. The cruelest part of the crypto world is this: it gives ordinary people hope of "getting rich quickly," while never telling you—most likely, you're just the cost for someone else's wealth.

So, those who stay in the crypto space need to ask themselves three questions: Are you a retail investor? Why shouldn't you be? If you are, when can you fully withdraw?

Opportunities? The crypto world isn't without them. But it has never been designed for the vast majority. To survive a little longer, you first need to see through this game; if you can't see through it, you are just the "trading volume" in the next market cycle.
