Study Industrial Organization or Game Theory long enough, and you'll understand one brutal truth: trading is perhaps the last frontier of pure individualism. There's no such thing as collective trading or community profits. Someone will always move faster. Someone will always know more. Someone will always get out first while you're still holding. It's the nature of markets—asymmetric information, competing interests, everyone fighting for the same edges. The illusion of unity dissolves the moment real money enters the game. That's not cynicism. That's just how price discovery works.
