Do you think a coin's high fee rate is because there are too many air troops? You're wrong.

The truth is that spot market whales are playing tricks. The fee rule is actually very simple—if you keep the fee below -0.025% for 16 consecutive hours, the next hour's fee will return to the normal cycle. Is it difficult to operate? For large funds, it's not hard at all.

In this coin's spot market, the whales already hold over 90% of the chips. The remaining retail funds can't even move the price, and are instead being led around by the nose. This is how the entire market operates—big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp. Most of us are not even shrimp, just eating what's left over.

The most tragic are those friends stubbornly shorting. Once they believe a certain altcoin will definitely fall, their brains go haywire, and they see nothing. No matter how big the whale, they can't dodge it and have to hold on stubbornly. Their entire gamble is "it will definitely fall in the end." But the key question is—are you sure you'll live until that moment?

Do you remember that coin? The whale took a whole year to slaughter it. Can your bullets last that long?

Wake up everyone, it's time to see through the game of fees and rates. The big players are playing the time game, what do retail investors have to compete with? No matter how many bullets you have, you can't hold out for a year.

Damn, 90% of the chips are in the hands of the market maker. We retail investors are really just lunch during trading.

Really, those who are overly bullish or bearish are all gamblers at heart, betting their lives against the market maker.

ngl, this is just classic ponzinomics with extra steps. funding rate manipulation is literally textbook wealth extraction—90% concentration means it's not a market, it's a hostage situation. the real question isn't "when will it dump" but "why are you even here" lol

Amazing, I've seen this kind of rate suppression gameplay many times in the mempool. Essentially, it's a sophisticated variant of a sandwich attack. Shorting those guys really is as persistent as gambling; little do they realize that once the bookmaker's funding costs are spread out, you simply can't afford to play this time-consuming game.

Damn, this is exactly what I've been saying—retail investors are just destined to get wiped out.

That's incredible. I knew the fee rates seemed off, and it turns out it's all manipulated by the big players.
