When browsing the market, the trading activity looks very lively, as if everyone is getting rich overnight. But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that those coins that make people cheer are actually less liquid than puddles after a light rain. Fake trading volume and superficial popularity make the market seem bustling, but in reality, participants are fighting tooth and nail for tiny gains. With few coins, many traders, sharp price fluctuations, and difficulty entering and exiting positions—this is the true picture of many tokens today. The superficial prosperity cannot hide the deep liquidity crisis. Most retail investors, in this never-ending battle, can at best earn tiny profits.

Really, a bunch of trash coins rely on hype to harvest retail investors; retail investors getting in are just being played.

I've seen it all along, these small coins are just schemes to trap retail investors, with liquidity so poor it's unbearable.

It's the same story again. The crypto world is always like this—glamorous on the surface but full of traps behind the scenes. I've seen through it long ago.
Retail investors are still dreaming of getting rich quickly, not realizing they've already been played around with by wash trading.
Honestly, the liquidity is as shallow as a puddle; a single large order can create a trap.
This market is just a game of cutting leeks; whoever gets in first wins, and those who come later are just the bagholders.
Frankly, these tokens are just a joke now; the difficulty of entering and exiting is the mildest way to put it.

It's another liquidity black hole; I've seen through it long ago. Those coins simply can't be moved out.

Damn, it's the same old trick again. Every time it's Water Puddle Coin, retail investors just get slaughtered once they get in.

Holy shit, aren't these the same coins I got trapped in last week? Easy to get in but real™ hard to get out.

Same old tricks, looks exciting but it's all just hype... I'm numb to it by now, it's always the same pattern of getting fleeced.

That's right, I already lost money in a certain "hot coin" last week. It's easy to get in but hard to get out, I almost got trapped.

Really, I get excited when I see the candlestick charts, but I get stunned when I see the slippage. This is the daily life of retail investors in the crypto world.
