Been thinking about this for almost two years now. The math doesn't add up. When you move crypto across wallets and dump it, who exactly profits? If it's just coins changing hands between different addresses, that's pure zero-sum. And if retail starts panic-selling during these pump-and-dumps? The operators actually take losses on the downside. So what's the actual play here? Feels like I'm missing something fundamental about how this game even works.

You're right, I've also been stuck on this logic... Is it just a game of liquidity?

Your logic misses a step... When the price of the coin rises, big players are selling, retail investors are buying the dip, and this price difference is basically blood money for the buyers.

Wow, I can't understand this logic either... Could it be that we've been fooled for two years?

Damn, this logic definitely has issues. I can't understand how the market maker makes a profit.
