I have an idea I want to discuss with everyone—why don’t those big players with massive capital manipulate Chinese Meme coins? Honestly, just throwing a few million dollars in, they can pump or dump at will. It doesn’t seem that difficult.
Looking at recent data can shed some light. A certain large holder currently holds a 25x leveraged long position of 10,800 ETH, worth about $33.62 million, with an average entry price of $3,138.43. The current unrealized loss on this position has reached $287,000, and compared to the peak on January 7, the paper profit has retraced by over $2 million.
This is interesting. You see, the real big funds are actually locked into leverage on mainstream coins, just watching the market fluctuate daily. If they really had that much idle cash to manipulate small coins at will, they would have already done so. Instead, the current situation is that even these large positions in mainstream coins aren’t that easy—unrealized losses, drawdowns, and 24-hour market swings can wipe out millions.
From another perspective, Meme coin liquidity simply can’t support such large positions. If they really tried to dump in, the market wouldn’t be able to handle it, and they would end up destroying their own positions. So rather than not wanting to play, it’s more accurate to say that these huge funds are actually trapped in a betting system, and they don’t have as much freedom as it seems.

Haha, even big whales are trapped. This is the real truth.
---
So the big money can't move at all, locked in by leverage.
---
Lack of liquidity, pouring in just hurts themselves. It's too awkward.
---
Interesting, it seems that freedom is actually an illusion.
---
In the betting system, no one is free; everyone is trapped.
---
Does that mean Meme coins are actually safer?
---
Even the real big whales are having a tough time, now I feel relieved.
---
Being trapped with two million still holding on, really can't hold on anymore.
---
Liquidity is the key. Small coins simply can't handle this volume.

Damn, this logic is clear-headed. Large funds simply don't have spare cash to play with memes.
Big players are bleeding out on leverage, who has time for small coins?
That's right, poor liquidity can't handle this scale at all.
This is the truth: huge capital is trapped and can't move.
Makes sense, mainstream coins are being squeezed by leverage, who dares to touch memes?

Wow, this logic is incredible. Big investors are actually being wiped out by leverage.
The truth is, even having money can be pretty uncomfortable.
Basically, it's a lack of liquidity, unable to move small-cap coins.
Large funds are trapped in mainstream coins, and ironically, they are less free? That's hilarious.
Leverage, no one can escape it.
So meme coins are actually safer? This twist is interesting.
Floating losses of millions in a day, now that's truly terrifying.
It turns out that big investors are also being played by the system, not the other way around.
