The recent new coins that have launched all follow a similar pattern—dropping from their highs all the way down. It seems some exchanges really treat users as ATMs. They have channels to directly list coins, then manipulate the market to gradually accumulate and harvest from high levels, which is even more "professional" than simply going to zero. Users get trapped and want to recover their losses? Easy, just chase the next new coin. But the result? Same old story, the same cycle repeats. As the money in their pockets dwindles, their final trump card is to push users into trading leveraged contracts—liquidation becomes the final destination.

With such a complete ecological cycle, how much confidence can users really have left? In the long run, can platforms truly retain popularity with this model? It's worth pondering.

This set of harvesting logic is really embedded in the DNA, new coins take turns appearing, and the leeks take turns to be the bagholders. Contract leverage is the final vampire. --- Another new coin falling from heaven to hell, will it survive more than two weeks this time? --- I just want to know, when will our group wake up after the platform makes a good profit. --- Market making, slow volume increase, and finally contract harvesting—this combination punch is truly brilliant. --- Basically, it's a disguised scam, and they even call it a high-sounding name like Financial Innovation. --- Why are there still people believing that the next one is an opportunity? I really can't understand. --- A wave of new coins, a wave of bagholders, a wave of liquidations—how long will this cycle last? --- Platform: Don't lose money, go trade contracts, guaranteed to turn around. User: Okay. Platform: If you get liquidated. --- Falling from a high point all the way down, this is not a trend, it's designed. --- Every time they say this time is different, but the results are the same. I'm convinced.

Here we go again with this harvesting cycle, truly incredible. --- Honestly, when chasing new coins, you should have realized that you were just being arranged. --- Gradually selling off from a high position is even more painful than a sudden crash; this is true "art." --- Liquidation is the final outcome; all the tugging and pulling beforehand are just preparations. --- I've truly never seen such blatant behavior. Even after your pockets are emptied, you still have to keep playing along. --- So, platforms like this should have been finished long ago; it all depends on who still dares to gamble inside. --- Contract leverage is just the final act; smart people have already run away.

Here we go again with the same routine, I'm so numb. Every time a new coin launches, it feels like entering a slaughterhouse, and the bagholders at high prices are always us retail investors. I'm really starting to look down on certain exchanges. They blatantly cut the grass and still pretend to be professional, it's hilarious. I'm completely done with contracts. One liquidation was enough—a bloody lesson. Honestly, I don't dare to touch new coins anymore, I'm afraid to death. If the platform keeps playing like this, it will eventually be abandoned; users are not fools.

It's the same old story: new coin issuance - high-level trapping - pushing contracts to liquidation, cycle repeats. Have you seen clearly? This is the true face of some so-called major platforms. Damn, I only realized this after falling into three new coin traps in a row, a painful lesson. I've said it long ago, exchanges and whales are in cahoots, and we are just the leeks. Really, instead of chasing new coins, it's better to study the fundamentals carefully and not be fooled by those halos. Will anyone still fall for it again? Anyway, I've learned to be smarter.

Another round of the "cutting leeks" curse, switching to a different coin and continuing the show. --- I really just want to know if these so-called new coin projects are truly stupid or just pretending... --- It's incredible, always the same routine, and some users still fall for it. --- I looked at my wallet and started crying. No matter what the next new coin says, I won't touch it. --- The exchange's tactics are truly ruthless, starting to harvest from the moment it goes live, and there's no way to defend against it. --- Called liquidity management in a nice way, but in a harsh way, it's just outright theft, no difference. --- The contract leverage part is the real meat grinder; too many people get liquidated. --- Gotta admit, the entire ecosystem is really rotten, but who can truly escape from it? --- I now avoid new coin launches; one loss is enough. --- The platform really treats us like fools, but we still have to keep playing, there's nothing we can do.

I'm an old retail investor who's seen it all, I'm used to it by now. Anyway, retail traders always end up losing money in the end. That liquidated futures trading stuff – my friend already lost everything, seriously don't touch it. New coins get dumped right after listing, this script has been played out but people still fall for it. This ecosystem is beyond saving, platforms just want to bleed users dry, it's just a joke when there are more users. Feels like even getting zeroed out would be a good outcome these days, slowly cutting losses is the real despair.

Really, every new coin follows the same pattern, I'm exhausted. Brothers, stop chasing, this is just a money-grabbing pipeline. Contracts are just the platform's final vampire, you lose everything in one move. Promised decentralization, but in the end, it's still the whales playing us around. I think I need to change my approach, or else I'll really lose everything.

Honestly, I've seen this set of tactics for harvesting retail investors too many times... Buying new coins at high prices, contract liquidation harvesting, cycle repeats, platform making huge profits. --- It's really ironic, shouting about ecosystem development on one hand, while squeezing users to death on the other. --- It's always the same routine, just changing the coin name to keep playing. When will we see something different? --- Returning to zero is one thing, but this slow volume expansion is the most ruthless. It gives you hope, and the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. --- The last sentence is right, platforms don't lack popularity, they lack sincerity. --- That leverage on contracts is the real endgame; liquidation is the end. --- Ecosystem closed-loop? Basically, it's a harvesting closed-loop. --- I lost confidence in this kind of platform a long time ago. Now, I'm just betting on whether the coins can escape.
