Let me give you a real-life example to make it clear.

Take a look at the public holdings of a certain quant institution: even their top ten holdings only account for a maximum of 0.84%. What does this mean? Based on this scale, they probably hold 200 to 300 different assets, all managed by algorithms automatically trading in and out. By operating like this, their annual returns are close to 50%.

Now, the scale of these quant funds is becoming increasingly terrifying, and market rhythms are completely dictated by algorithms—you can see it in those intraday charts, where the spikes and crashes look just like an EKG.

What’s even scarier is that this trend is accelerating. The day quant funds truly gain pricing power, ordinary players will basically just be there to get rekt. This isn’t alarmism; the traditional markets are already showing this, and it’s only a matter of time before the crypto world faces the same thing.

0.84%? LOL, this is exactly the logic of machines harvesting people. --- 50% returns... While we're still guessing the price movements, their algorithms have already mastered the game. --- This kind of gameplay will come to the crypto space sooner or later, and when it does, retail investors will be completely reduced to cash machines. --- The intraday chart looks like an ECG, but the problem is we’re all playing dead people 😅 --- Wait, how do they coordinate over 200 underlying assets? Is it really fully automated? --- That's why people say that although the crypto space seems free, you still can't escape being slaughtered. --- 50% a year, and I haven't even made fifty cents in a year, unbelievable.

0.84%... what a ratio, how are retail investors supposed to play this game? --- Fifty percent return, and I'm still waiting to break even. --- Algorithms slaughter everything, we're just the sheep being culled. --- Intraday charts look like EKGs? Ha, is that their final warning to us? --- Pricing power is in the hands of machines now, how are we supposed to play this game? --- 200 to 300 assets? That’s true diversification. We can't even manage to copy ten properly.
