Have you ever wondered how much real money the manipulators behind those suddenly skyrocketing small-cap coins have actually spent?
It might surprise you—it's not as much as you think.
**How to Play the Bottom Accumulation Stage**
Small-cap coins at the bottom usually have a daily trading volume of less than half a million dollars. The cleverness of the manipulators lies in not needing to buy everything at once. They spend around ten thousand dollars a day, slowly and steadily accumulating chips. Persisting for one to three months, with a total investment of less than three million dollars, they secure the core low-price chips. This stage may seem boring, but it’s actually laying the groundwork for the big show to come.
**The Ruthless Tactics of Shakeout**
Once the key chips are in hand, the manipulators will execute one or two waves of concentrated sell-offs, investing about one million dollars. This isn’t really about selling; it’s a psychological game—to scare away the weak-willed retail investors and thoroughly clean out the restless chips. Only then can the subsequent rise be smooth and unobstructed.
**The Launch Phase of the Rise**
When the time is right, within a few days, they concentrate a capital of less than two million dollars to push the price up rapidly. The price surges quickly, attracting market attention, and retail investors see the gains and rush in. At this point, the manipulators’ plan enters its final harvesting phase.
**The Reality of Cost and Profit**
Calculations show that controlling a small-cap coin from the bottom to the peak of the rise costs between one million and five million dollars. With an investment of a few million, what level of profit can be harvested? Multi-billion dollar profits are not at all rare. That’s why some are willing to do this business—using a few million to gamble on billions in returns, a simple math problem.
**Why Is It Called a ‘Demon Coin’?**
The reason it’s called a demon coin is because it never follows logic or conventional rules. When the manipulators have control of over 80% of the chips, do you think you’re making an investment decision? Wrong. You’re actually in an unequal fight against an opponent holding all the cards, and the final outcome is often being harvested.
**Where Is the Retail Investor’s Exit?**
If you lack insider information and the chance to lay out in advance, then retail investors only have two options to survive: first, keep your position light; second, run fast when it’s time to exit. Don’t bet on low-probability events. Focus on short-term trading, quick in and out—that’s a more reliable way to survive. Greed is often the main reason for being eliminated in this game.
