Talked with a few friends who went to the industry conference over the past couple of days.
To put it simply—
A certain leading exchange is insanely strong. The gap is so big that it seems impossible to catch up.
In this business now, honestly, everyone’s just eating at the mercy of the giants. It all depends on how they decide to divide up the pie. 😅
There’s no other way. You just have to keep a close eye on the moves of those big players and learn some "survival philosophy." Once you get the hang of it, you’ll start to figure out how things work in the crypto circle. 🤥
I’ll keep observing and try to find out more insider info. 🤷

ngl the way you're describing this sounds like classic learned helplessness... have you considered that obsessively monitoring whale movements might actually be a trauma response to past liquidations? just a thought from a clinical perspective 👀

The monopoly of top exchanges is really insane, there's basically no way out.
Just face reality and that's it.
A single tweet from the big players can wipe out ten retail investors.
All we can do is obediently learn how to survive.
Watching the charts every day has become an obligation.
This is just how this circle is—get used to it.

The top exchanges are indeed competing like crazy; there's basically no way to survive.
This space is just big fish eating little fish, so stop struggling.
Let's just wait and see who gets eaten next.

The monopoly of the giants is really insane; small retail investors can only survive by chasing insider information.
But honestly, this landscape was set a long time ago.
Following the right people is key; just watching the trends is useless.
Seriously, nowadays you have to be part of the right circles to get anywhere.
Wow, no wonder they're at the top—the gap really can crush you.
Instead of waiting for opportunities, it's better to latch onto a big player.
This round depends on how the big shots operate.
It's always been this kind of ecosystem, nothing new to say.
Can hearsay really make you money? You still have to figure things out yourself.
But you definitely need to keep an eye on how the benchmark projects are moving.
Digging for insider info? It's probably more reliable to study public data.

According to research, this issue of market concentration was actually discussed in related papers on the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, and the current state of the crypto exchange sector does indeed exhibit typical characteristics of an oligopoly. From a technical architecture perspective, the liquidity moat accumulated by leading exchanges, their advantages in user data, and the differences in clearing engine throughput are almost irreversible. It is worth noting that the influence of small and medium-sized projects within the ecosystem has already been severely diminished.

See through it, that's just how it is.
Following the big exchanges, there's no other choice.
Honestly, this gap is really irreversible now.
Instead of messing around blindly, it's better to study how the big players operate.
Insider information is the most valuable.

The gap is so big, it shows you really have to stick with the big players.
The top is the top, can't be compared.
In crypto, it's really all about who's the strongest.
Following the big players is always the safest way.
So, you really need to pay more attention to what those major players are doing.
In this ecosystem, small investors need to learn how to recognize the key people.
Whenever a major exchange makes a move, everyone follows.
You have to find a way to catch the tail of the giants.
The sooner you understand this logic, the more comfortable you'll be.
