This game is rigged, and I’m done. Lost $3M+ trying to buy dips, thinking the market would bounce. It didn’t. Every move I made, catching falling knives, rotating to different metas: • The TCG meta that ended before my PSA 10 slabs even arrived • The infofi meta with Kaito, Wallchain and Xeet that ended up farming me instead of the other way round • The perp dex meta liquidated me overnight • The privacy meta that until today nobody can explain why it pumped • The x402 meta that lasted less than a week • The robotics meta that was pure on-chain larp doubling down on $ASTER, $XPL, $PUMP, ended the same way. Down 90-95%, then panic selling the bottom. Tried leverage to claw back. Made $35K, thought I could run it back up again. Now I’m staring at liquidation, watching my last penny slip away. Everything I built in the last 1.5 years is gone. Just three months to wipe it all out. That’s the game. Long enough to make you believe, quick enough to remind you who’s in control. You either exit with your life changed or exit with max pain. This market isn’t what it used to be. Too much manipulation. Too many traps. The people who win aren’t the ones who are smartest or best traders. They’re the ones with the most size, best info, and the patience to wait. I played their game and lost. Stepping away. Not bitter. Not coping. Just accepting reality. To all the friends I've made along the way, thank you for being part of the journey. Best of luck to those still in the trenches.
