After working hard to mine a bunch of coins, they are gradually eaten up by big players. This is the market—retail investors spend time and electricity to earn it, only to be bought cheaply by others. Such things are especially common before a bull market arrives, with some lurking and others exiting.

Well... that's why I stopped mining long ago. When you calculate the electricity costs, it's just not worth it. Big players have been playing the retail investor game for so many years, yet some people still jump in. The accumulation shows before a bull market, it's always the same routine. Instead of mining, it's better to hodl some real assets and save yourself the trouble.

Damn, this is what it feels like to be cut like a leek, so heartbreaking. Mining costs are all wasted, big players just open their mouths and get the coins. Before the bull market, this kind of trick is really clever. Retail investors deserve to be the bagholders, right? Actually, I should have run earlier. I misjudged the situation. But wait, could this really be the last chance to get on board? Even with Electric fees invested, it's still a loss. I'm wondering how I'm so bad at this.

This is the fate of retail investors. The hard-earned money from mining is still being taken away by others.

Haha, that's why I advise friends not to bother mining anymore, the electricity costs are just too much. You're right, someone is making their next move while we're just twiddling our thumbs. This move is indeed brilliant; their tactics for accumulating chips at low levels are really top-notch. Wait, so the real question is whether to hold or not? Or is mining itself just not promising anymore? I've seen through it long ago, retail investors have a tough life, every step they take is a step closer to collapse.
