The crypto market has just emerged from year-end adjustments when a tweet about SOL suddenly appeared and then disappeared in seconds—deleted within less than 10 seconds of posting. This move sparked widespread online discussion: screenshots being resold at high prices, communities boiling over, and market prices plunging... Some might ask, it's just a deleted tweet, why make such a fuss?



Actually, there's a hidden truth behind this.

Why does "instant deletion" have a greater impact than "long-lasting" posts? The key lies in a simple psychological principle— the less complete the information, the more the market will automatically fill in with the most aggressive expectations. This influencer's tweet history has proven countless times: casually mentioning Dogecoin can trigger a single-day surge, discussing certain payment ecosystem assets can cause them to take off, and even content related to asset allocation has attracted regulatory attention... Because of this, when they now post crypto-related content and delete it instantly, it's likely they've sensed potential regulatory risks. But the problem is—this "hesitation" actually fuels the wildest imaginations in the market.

True players in the game have long understood: big funds never need to wait for "hard evidence." Even if a tweet disappears instantly, as long as enough people see, discuss, screenshot, and share it, the sentiment has already been forged. Smart money leverages this wave of hype to position early; by the time retail investors react, the market has already moved. That's also why, after such incidents, there's always someone buying screenshots at high prices—they're not after the image itself, but the market information gap and time advantage it represents.

Instant deletion actually boosts the market; this psychological tactic is truly brilliant. Large funds have long been exploiting retail investors' information gap.

Instant deletion is a trick that can be more effective than lengthy posts in boosting the market. To put it simply, it's a psychological game. Retail investors see the screenshot and start to imagine things, while smart money has already jumped in.

look, empirically speaking this is just information asymmetry theater... the data suggests smart money's been exploiting incomplete signals since forever, but framing it as some grand psychological play feels performative tbh. where's the actual governance mechanism preventing this kind of market manipulation? nobody wants to discuss *that* part ngl

Instant deletion is actually the strongest signal; this is psychological warfare. Retail investors see the screenshot and rush, while smart money has already completed its layout.

Instant deletion is actually more exciting; smart money has already bottomed out, retail investors are still screenshotting.

Instant deletion is the strongest signal; it has much more impact than long articles. Retail investors are still screenshotting and reselling, while smart money has already finished their layout.

Instant deletion is the best marketing. It can boost emotions better than outright saying it. Retail investors are still taking screenshots and sharing, while the big V accounts have already left.
