Retail investors in the crypto world are really good at:
Self-indulgence
Believing in dreams
Believing in revolutions
Believing in the future
Believing 'this time is different'
Believing in the stories of Musk and CZ
But the whales never believe in these stories.
On the contrary: the bigger the story, the more they love to distribute; the hotter the sentiment, the more they love to sell; the crazier the retail investors, the more they love to short.
Retail investors pay for their dreams, while whales profit from probabilities.
The whales are crystal clear — they fully understand that crypto is a game, not an asset revolution.
The whales know:
This is not financial innovation
Not a monetary revolution
Not a macro trend
And definitely not the future monetary system
The whales know: the essence of crypto is an emotional casino where retail investors are repeatedly harvested.
They understand:
BTC doesn’t generate cash flow
The crypto industry lacks regulation
Retail investors can’t assess value
Crypto is the ultimate container for retail emotions
Every bull market brings in new 'chives' (fresh retail investors to harvest)
So the whales’ understanding of crypto is:
This is a market for repeated arbitrage
This is a cyclical bubble market
This is a hunting ground with extremely low opportunity costs
This is a psychological battlefield for retail investors
This is the easiest place for asset prices to be manipulated
The whales are crystal clear
The retail investors are completely intoxicated
That’s the gap.
