Small-cap coins are so volatile, the more I watch, the more exciting I find it, but I'm also becoming more cautious.
This wave is indeed a bit risky; I believe in the "accumulate sand to build a tower" strategy, and the biggest trick of the whales is exactly that.
Here we go again, I just want to ask, when can we retail investors stop being the little guys?
I'm also watching coins like ZEC, feeling that the rhythm is a bit off.
The temptation of quick money is too great, but thinking about it, it's just helping others lay the groundwork.
The market is always like this; smart people make money, fools pay tuition, it's that simple.
Honestly, understanding the tricks still requires time accumulation; a loss or two won't make you see the pattern.
I've studied the psychology of whales more and more deeply, but knowing doesn't mean you can avoid it.
In this market, resisting temptation is more difficult than anything else.

Still harvesting the little guys, how dare you chase this wave of ZEC again
The old trick of bloodsucking small coins is tired, yet some still jump in
The doubling dream is shattered, and only then do you realize the fate of retail investors
The manipulators' tactics are deep, I think I'll just watch
Accumulating sand into a tower is right, but we are just those grains of sand
This AVNT stock looks quite risky
Those who make money are always a minority, and this time, who will be the one to pay the tuition?

Really, just look at that wave of ZEC, retail investors are still dreaming while the big players are sharpening their knives.
---
Here comes another round of cutting leeks. I wonder why some people keep rushing in.
---
Accumulating sand into a tower is a great analogy. One or two retail investors don't have much money, but with many ants, it adds up.
---
What about AVNT this time? Still getting hammered as usual? Feels like the market hasn't changed at all.
---
The dream of quick doubling, always waking up too soon.
---
Basically, it's a mindset issue. Greed gets you eaten; this is always the same routine.
---
Why am I still struggling in small coins? Knowing it's a trap, yet I keep jumping in.
---
Stop talking nonsense. The big players do see further than us. When the volume of chips comes together to cut, it’s over in a flash.

Really, the bloodsucking in small coins this time is so fierce that I was caught off guard and got trapped before I could react.
The accumulation of fragmented chips is indeed terrifying, and the manipulators are playing their tricks very skillfully.
Fast money dreams harm people, every time it's the same, once you get in, you become a leek.
Those few waves of ZEC made me feel really uncomfortable; it's just impossible to predict.
To be honest, the market is so brutal, there are always more losers.
Everyone jumping into small coins on a whim should read this article to avoid stepping into the same traps.

Retail investors are still dreaming of doubling their money, while the big players have already sharpened their knives.
I saw through that wave of ZEC; only a true warrior would still dare to chase now.
Accumulating small amounts into a tower is right; in their eyes, our little money is just snacks.
Another harvest season, I wonder how many people will have to pay tuition again.
Fast money dreams are the most expensive, and someone will realize that again this time.
Small coins close to mainstream coins? Isn't that just bait, old tricks.
Don't go where there are many people; this is the first lesson I learned in the crypto circle.
Always remember, the opportunity you see, the big players have already seen you.
The idea of doubling your money can be deadly; I’m just thinking about not losing now.

I'm once again losing money badly; it seems this time I am that grain of sand in the "accumulating sand to build a tower" process.
Dipping into small altcoins is my "specialty," with success rates comparable to automatic contract liquidation.
ZEC has been held for three months, and now I am the spokesperson for this type of coin.
The market makers really know how to calculate; they fragment my retail investor chips and then cut losses. Am I helping them with value-added services?
It's always late to wake up; I realized I was losing money long before.
My dream of quick money has shattered; now I only dream of liquidation prices.
I've played this game for years, and I consider myself a reverse researcher. While others are making money, I am paying tuition.
Looking at the market chart, the strong smell of "cutting leeks" hits me.
I am the kind of person who, even after seeing through it, still ends up losing again and lives very transparently.
