A major mainstream public chain ecosystem has recently entered the second stage of a familiar growth cycle. During this period, an interesting interaction has formed between community tokens and large holder funds—emerging projects attract retail enthusiasm, while institutions and large holders are quietly positioning themselves. The tactics are almost unchanged: similar hype methods, repetitive market rhythms, and even the backgrounds of participants are all quite familiar. This is the magic of a cyclical market, with each round replaying past stories.

Here we go again. I've seen through the whole distribution of chips. The cycle script where big players manipulate retail investors into taking the bait is truly endlessly entertaining.

It's the same old story, big players all pretend to be quite similar, huh.

Here we go again, same old trick. Retail investors are the bagholders, right?

Interesting, it's the "second phase" again. Data shows that the average retail investor loss rate was around 72% the last time this was said [cold laugh]. Ironically, when institutions "quietly positioned," they had already locked in their chips. When have retail investors ever seen good results from their enthusiasm? Historical lesson: everyone thinks they see the cycle clearly, but in the end, they all get caught. Let's talk again in half a year; I bet you'll still be saying the same thing. Humans will never learn this lesson. It's just a story cast from the same mold; the participants change faces, but the script stays the same. The problem is, how can you be sure you're not part of that 72%?
