I have completely cleared the Monad position, and this round of operations has accumulated a floating loss of over $100,000. To be honest, losing money itself is not the most painful part; instead, it has become a sample for observing the public chain ecosystem—I've also taken a hit on Linea last time, and I repeated the same mistakes on Monad this time.

But from this, some clues can be seen. The current market is no longer a contest of investment logic; it has essentially evolved into a game of capital. Projects with capital backing can do whatever they want: market makers manipulate the market to create false prosperity, harvest retail liquidity through extreme fee mechanisms, and even profit from leveraged short positions. This routine has become standard.

Looking back, these failed bets are perhaps the best market textbooks.

LINEA0,08%

$100,000 went down the drain, this wave was really brutal Linea and Monad, why do we keep falling into the same trap The Ponzi scheme tactics have indeed become standard, retail investors really have no way out Losing money has made me more sober, this is the most expensive lesson Market makers manipulating the market by pumping and dumping, it's really infuriating to watch To put it simply, it's a game of capital, we're all just background characters Fortunately, I at least learned something, better than losing everything for nothing

A hundred thousand dollars just as tuition fees; anyway, this market has always been a harvesting machine for retail investors. Getting cut again by the market support pump; this trick is really getting more and more greasy. Linea Monad is the same; how capital protects the market is how we get cut. To put it plainly, retail investors will never be able to outplay the market makers. Take your time to understand, brother. The market teaches us lessons soaked in blood. Is losing 100,000 worth it for a change in market perception? You decide.

$100,000 in tuition fees, this time I’ve truly seen through these capitalists. The trap at Linea hasn't been escaped yet, and Monad is back again—it's really the same recipe with the same flavor. Retail investors are always the last to take the fall; I've long been used to it. This round of the market, to put it plainly, is a carnival of capital pools. Projects without big capital backing can't survive at all. It's a loss, but at least I understand the rules of this game now. I need to be more cautious in the future.
