Do you remember the wave of the bull market in early 2023? At that time, TRB took the lead in using the funding rate as a harvesting tool, with exchanges fueling the hype and market sentiment being completely ignited. The longs were really thriving, and this wave of market movement lasted for several days. Suddenly, there was a sharp plunge, and the bulls faced a slaughter, only to continue their act afterward.

Now, this tactic has long been played out by altcoins and is becoming more and more sophisticated. What is the most obvious change? The lifecycle of altcoins is accelerating shrinking, and the pace of the market makers' harvesting has also noticeably sped up. If you are trading these kinds of coins in an environment where market liquidity is already poor, my advice is to enter and exit quickly; if you can't keep a clear perspective, you'll just get wiped out.

It's the same old trick again, watching it makes me sick. I really dodged that wave of TRB, and all my friends got caught in it. Altcoins are now just casinos, the pace is getting faster and faster, and it's hard to keep up. Avoid coins with poor liquidity, really, it's easy to get trapped and lose everything. The big picture is easy to talk about but hard to do. I knew it would turn out like this long ago, it's just that too many people are greedy. Buying and selling is the right move, but how many people can really hold back?

It's the same old trick again, now even retail investors see through it. --- I really don't touch coins with poor liquidity; enough of the bloodshed from one wave of inflows and outflows. --- Is the market maker accelerating the harvest? Then you need to be even more precise with your timing, or just stay on the sidelines. --- That wave of TRB was indeed fierce, but now with altcoins turning into slaughterhouses so quickly, who dares to hold heavy positions? --- If you can't keep your composure, you'll die. I need to hang this phrase on the wall. --- Altcoin life cycles are so short, the rhythm is getting faster and faster, it feels less like investing and more like pure gambling. --- Basically, don't wander aimlessly in coins with poor liquidity; just buy and sell without greed. --- Are there still people fighting over these kinds of coins? I'm truly impressed. --- A wave of inflows and outflows sounds simple, but in practice, timing is even harder than reaching the sky.

Really, now the scams in altcoins are more sophisticated than the last, and their speed is so fast I can't keep up I'm already tired of the old tricks with funding rates; now the market makers' harvest time is shockingly short You still need quick reflexes to buy and sell in a wave, or you'll really end up as a leek.

Speaking of TRB, that move was really fierce. Now small-cap coins are reenacting this script every day... The speed at which the whales harvest is skyrocketing; if you can't play it well, you're just giving away money. Avoid coins with poor liquidity; quick in and out is the real strategy. The lifecycle of altcoins is getting shorter and shorter. The lower the entry barrier, the greater the risk. Those who went long back then made a killing, but now latecomers are just bagholders. This method of cutting leeks has really become mainstream; every whale is using it. The funding rate spikes, and one plunge can wipe everything out. I've seen too many such dramas.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have touched that wave of TRB, really cut and run, not at all considerate --- Altcoins are now like quick-frozen dumplings, frozen when you enter and boiled when you come out --- This set of funding rates, the whales play even more skillfully than the exchanges --- Daring to play with poor liquidity? Isn't that asking for death haha --- A wave of inflows and outflows is indeed the truth, the greedy are all lying on the ground --- Now even altcoins have learned to cut people, the ecosystem is becoming more and more competitive --- If you can't broaden your perspective, you'll die, I need to get this tattooed --- It's 2024 and people are still being scammed with this routine, truly incredible
