How Whales Trap You - And How to Outsmart Them?!

Ever wonder why you keep buying tops and selling bottoms? It's not by accident. The market is designed to shake out retail traders while the whales accumulate.

🔎How the Game Works:

▪️They create artificial panic & euphoria - Whales dump large amounts to trigger fear, making you sell cheap. Then they buy back lower, pushing the price up.
▪️They exploit staking misconceptions - Many think stake rewards unlock all at once.
▪️They profit from leverage traders - The real money isn't in spot trading, but in liquidating overleveraged traders.

🔐How to Protect Yourself:

▫️Don't chase pumps - If something already ran 5-10x, the easy money is gone.
▫️Understand market cycles - Whales accumulate when retail is panicking and exit when euphoria is highest.
▫️Use leverage wisely - Overleveraging makes you an easy target.

The market isn't your enemy-but it's also not your friend. Trade smart, stay patient, and follow the money 💵
