In the current market environment, the only way to pump a coin to a $100 million market cap is to make most people not understand it. This makes it easier for a few to manipulate the market. In contrast, projects with sufficient circulation and broad consensus can't be played that way—the number of market participants is too large, making manipulation much more difficult. Low-liquidity tokens are different; their prices are highly malleable and easily influenced by capital.

nah this is literally the manipulation playbook written out loud lol... "keep it obscure so we can pump it" = immediate red flag detected. low liquidity + poor understanding = perfect storm for rug pulls tbh

After listening for a while, it all feels like a scam. Isn't this logic just to let retail investors take the fall?

The data shows that this is an unreasonable mechanism for harvesting retail investors... Low-liquidity tokens will eventually collapse.

You are damn right, this is the hidden rule of the spot market: retail investors are always left holding the bag.

Listen, isn't this just a clear textbook for market manipulators? Low-liquidity tokens are indeed easily played by whales, but those who truly make money are the ones willing to take risks. Retail investors get cut, and they deserve it. There's nothing wrong with this logic; the hard part is how to find the next project before it is manipulated.
