Regarding the intense volatility of the crypto market, the root cause is not so simple. However, there is a phenomenon worth noting: during an upward cycle, ample funds and overwhelming confidence lead to stronger and stronger players, forming a typical winner-takes-all pattern, with various capital parties celebrating together. But the problem is, once the market switches to a downward mode, there are no rules to catch the falling. At this point, contraction effects and stampede behaviors will multiply several times, and the original prosperity instantly turns into panic. To put it plainly, this kind of sharp fluctuation around the kill line is an inevitable social cost accumulated after the market pursues maximum efficiency and unlimited capital appreciation. As a certain anime character said: eternity will bring wear and tear. The cruelty of the cycle probably means this.

The crypto world is like this: when it's bullish, everyone is a genius; when it's bearish, everyone becomes a rookie. No one can escape this cycle.

Bull markets are crazy, bear markets cause stampedes. To put it simply, it's the fate of capital; no one can escape.

I should have known better than to follow the trend during the bull market; now I've cut my losses and become a noob.

Everyone is a genius during a bull market; when the bear market comes, they are all lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Winning everything in a bull market is awesome, but when the bear market comes, you realize no one is there to save you. It's that simple.

Eternal wear and tear... sounds poetic, but in reality, it's just the cycle of cutting leeks.
---
That's right, there are many rules during the uptrend, but they disappear during the decline. It's so surreal.
---
The cost of infinite capital appreciation is our huge losses. How do we calculate this?
---
I was truly desperate at the moment of the stampede effect. Going from celebration to panic in just a few hours.
---
The phrase "winner takes all" hits me right in the heart. I am that little guy being eaten.

Market efficiency maximization? Isn't it just the fast ones eating the meat while we drink the soup?

Cycles are brutal. If you haven't experienced it, you can't imagine that feeling. Truly.

During a bull market, everyone is saying "this time is different," but only when the bear market arrives do they start to regret. That's the cycle, brother.

The market crash during the bear market is really frightening. During last year's bull market, everyone dared to go all in.
