A whale gets liquidated every day? Guys, I’m really sick of this act.
Once again, I see news about so-and-so getting liquidated. Honestly, I’m numb to it.
Every so often, there’s a wave of “massive liquidations” and “dreams shattered.” The comments section blows up immediately—some feel sorry, some mock, some analyze the technicals to try to review what happened. But don’t you think this script is just too familiar?
**Would a veteran really play like this?** Someone who’s survived in this space for so many years—would they really act like a total newbie, always going all-in, always using max leverage, always keeping their liquidation price right at market price? Come on, these are top-tier players. Are they short on margin? Can't they lower their leverage and leave themselves a safety net? Calling this a mistake is generous—it feels more like... something intentional.
**Clout is just too tempting** Think about it: every time they “blow up,” it hits the trending topics perfectly. The numbers are outrageous, the story is dramatic, and the emotions are intense. And then? It goes viral, dominates the hot searches, and gets exposure that most project teams couldn’t buy if they wanted to. They “lose money” and get all this attention for free. So who really profits? You figure it out.
**Isn’t this just a live commercial?** Have you noticed that these incidents always end up promoting some new platform? Using the most tragic, “real” way to show the whole crowd: “See? We’re fair and transparent—even whales get liquidated here, totally decentralized!” The marketing cost isn’t low, but the effect? Explosive.
So here’s the question: is this a real accident, or just performance art for all crypto users?
The real risk might not be market volatility itself, but the fact that we’re all watching the show without asking: who’s directing? Who’s paying the bill? And in the end, who’s actually footing the cost?
Forget it, the game’s too deep. I’ll just stick to holding BTC and ETH. ZEC and other privacy coins are fun to watch, but the rest? Just sit back and enjoy the popcorn.

Damn, here we go again. It's really getting on my nerves, how many times has this trick been played already?
Big whale liquidation? Hah, to me it looks more like a carefully staged show. Every time they catch the trend perfectly, getting tons of traffic.
What's the point? Instead of analyzing candlesticks, you'd be better off figuring out who's directing this whole play behind the scenes.
Let me ask you, do you really think top-tier players can't even manage their leverage? What a joke.
Just spectating here, but in the end, they're definitely not the ones footing the bill. The real way is to just hold BTC and sleep soundly.

A typical traffic harvesting scheme, the same play is repeated over and over, and we just eat the drama like fools every time.
It's literally performance art, the lowest-cost marketing case.
Liquidation, bankruptcy, comeback—how many years can this script keep getting replayed?
Oh my god, finally someone called this out. I always wondered how it could be such a coincidence every time.
Honestly, it's just using our attention as their advertising, kind of disgusting.
Holding BTC is still the safest, the rest is just for show.
I've seen this trick too many times, I'm immune by now.
The problem is, when the next liquidation news comes out, everyone will still chase after it, hilarious.

Oh my, here we go again. I've seen this so many times, but it's the first time someone has really spelled it out.
How can you still be losing so much after playing for so long? I don't buy it.
"Traffic secrets"—well said. I’ve noticed it too; every time things get stuck right at the critical moment.
Wait a minute, why do I feel like I'm getting milked too?
But honestly, this really does feel like a carefully staged show, and we're all just the audience.

The old trick of manipulating public opinion, always hitting the trending topics.
Seriously, whenever I see liquidation news now, I just skip it—it's such a predictable routine.
Anyone who believes it is just naive; this is basically disguised advertising.
Honestly, this industry is too deep—it's better to just hold on to your own coins and stay grounded.
The coordinated backlash is too synchronized; there's no way no one is orchestrating it.
Those who know the game have already seen through it; only newbies are freaking out in the comments section.
They're playing this trick so blatantly. What's the cost, guys?
Just here for the drama. In the end, it's still us retail investors who foot the bill.
