Ever notice how the biggest market crashes often come from the wealthiest players? More resources, more leverage, more ways to manipulate markets. When you've got billions on the line, the incentive to bend—or break—the rules skyrockets. History shows it repeatedly: massive wealth concentration creates massive fraud risk. In crypto especially, we've seen whales pump-and-dump, exchanges exploit order flow, and institutional actors move markets at will. The deeper the pockets, the more creative the schemes. It's not rocket science—concentrated power and limited accountability breed dishonesty.

Rich people harvesting the little guys has never stopped; it's just that the methods are becoming more sophisticated.

Contract liquidation is the ultimate "liquidation price teaching" provided by institutions for us—truly a daily review material for professional leeks.

The reasoning is simple, but the truth is harsh—that's why we get cut off... When big players have a thought, the market reverses, and we retail investors can only eat dust.

That's why I never trust what big players say; analyzing candlestick charts is much more reliable than listening to their statements.

nah this is just sentiment analysis theater. the real alpha is recognizing when "whale manipulation" becomes the narrative itself—that's when you short the narrative, not the asset. psyops playbook 101.

Damn, it's the same old story, but honestly, the internal bad actors at exchanges are the most disgusting right now.
