Behind each market rise and fall, large investors manipulate liquidity repeatedly on the exchange using multiple accounts, constantly transferring retail funds into their own wallets. The tactics of KOLs leading trades and blindly copying trades seem simple, but the actual risks are enormous. Those claiming to have insider information are often creating false signals at key points for accumulation and distribution. If you still blindly worship these celebrity accounts, you are very likely to get cut in the next market cycle. There is never a shortage of smart big funds and intricate strategies in the market; retail investors must either learn to independently analyze market structure and capital flow or accept the cost of being harvested. This is not alarmist talk, but a story that repeats itself in every cycle.

Really, it's the same old story. I stopped copying trades a long time ago, but to be honest, most people can't hear it.

I've seen through this trick a long time ago. Does anyone really believe the insider news from the head of the car? Laughing to death --- It's the same old story, and the retail investors will never learn --- Independent analysis is bullshit; most people can't even understand candlestick charts --- Every time they say this, the same people get cut in the next round --- It sounds nice, but actually it just means retail investors need to do their own research; otherwise, they'll still get wiped out --- I've long quit the KOL signal-following thing --- The problem is, even analyzing yourself doesn't guarantee profits, and that's the awkward part --- The big players' strategies are too deep; ordinary people simply can't compete --- After reading this, I feel even more confused. What should I do? --- It's basically a gambler's mentality, always hoping someone will tell you the answer

Wake up everyone, still following KOLs? I’ll ask you, how many times has your account been liquidated? No doubt about it, retail investors are just the grass, and the big players’ sickles are already sharpened. If copying trades could make money, I’d be live streaming while eating keyboards. Stop messing around, brothers. Every time you say there’s insider information, I just lol. The next one to get liquidated will be you. Instead of chasing celebrity accounts, it’s better to learn about candlestick charts properly. Don’t wait until you’re brainwashed and regret it. These tricks happen every year. Smart people have already left, and some still jump in.

Traders should all be clear-headed now. Do you really believe those insiders at the head of the market? That's laughable. Honestly, only after being cut can you understand. It's already too late to start learning candlestick analysis now. The tricks used by big players are too deep; retail investors relying solely on luck can't compete at all. Once you see through this, take your time to develop your own trading plan. Every market movement is the same story—blame yourself for not having a brain. Instead of following the crowd, it's better to spend time studying capital flows, which at least increases the chances. I've realized it—I'll never touch coins recommended by KOLs again.

Really? I’ve seen through this trick a long time ago. There are still people following the trend every day to buy insider coins. Serves them right for getting cut. --- Everyone who copies trades deserves to die, isn’t that an overstatement? --- Big players cutting retail investors is like eating a meal. Do you still want to make money? Dream on. --- Every time someone asks me which KOL is reliable, I just reply with one word— all scammers. --- Wake up, everyone. Learning to read fund flows is the way to survive. --- Honestly, it’s painful to see people still falling for this market trick after so many years. --- Instead of worshipping these front-runners, it’s better to focus on on-chain data. At least you won’t get wrecked so badly.

Wake up, someone got cut again. Followers are all leeks. The big players cutting retail investors never ends. You're so right, I am the one who got scammed. Independent analysis is the right way, but most people can't do it. This time, someone will have to pay the tuition fee again.
