Copy trading is actually a very deep issue. Imagine if voting became transparent—everyone could see who others voted for, what would happen?



At first glance, it seems democratic, but in reality, it destroys democracy itself. Because once your choice is visible, others will change their voting direction to follow the trend. What’s the result? In the end, it’s not the best solution that wins, but the herd effect. Collective wisdom? Gone. It turns into group following.

Copy trading operates on this logic. Every trade by the trader is "transparent," and more and more followers jump in, liquidity seems sufficient, but the true market signals have long been drowned out. You think you're making money by following experts, but in fact, the entire market is stepping on each other. Leveraging is especially deadly—if a large position is liquidated, the whole chain collapses.

Well said, copy trading is just a stomping machine disguised as democracy.

This logic is actually just a hype machine; whoever runs first wins.

That's right, copy trading is a big trap. The more people follow the trend, the more experts become amateurs.

Basically, it's a hot potato game; everyone wants to be the last to pass the baton, but in the end, we all fall into the pit together.

Damn, this is the truth about copy trading—it's a herd stampede game.
