Just by casually browsing on-chain data, you'll understand. The top address holding ratio of a certain popular token has already reached 79%. What does this mean? Simply put, a large amount of chips are locked in the hands of the market makers. Easy to enter, difficult to exit — a situation of only entering but not leaving.

Put yourself in their shoes — if you are a market maker and have so many chips on your books, the only way to cash out and profit is through a washout. By high selling and low buying, creating panic, shaking out retail investors' chips, and then gradually pushing the price up. This logic is all too familiar in the crypto world.

But here’s the interesting part — these tokens often come with a strong background. Once they have such IP backing, market expectations for them are different. Therefore, in the long run, these projects are more likely to be carefully crafted by capital. Washout is just a process; the ultimate goal is still to push the price up.

79%？ Isn't this just a standard pump and dump? Retail investors going in are just being fed to the wolves. I've seen too many washout schemes, but the key still depends on the background; with IP backing, that's another story. I've been watching this kind of coin for a while, waiting to see how the whales play it. The ones who truly make money are always those who lay in wait beforehand. That's how the crypto world is—knowing the truth, but still getting caught in the trap.

79% is still in the hands of the big players, yet people still dare to enter. Isn't this gambling? --- Playing the same trick of shaking out the market for so many years, retail investors are still lining up to give away their chips. Truly ridiculous. --- Having a background guarantees a rise? Wake up, so many projects have just died this way. --- Easy to enter, hard to exit. Sounds familiar... it's the same story again. --- Carefully crafted by capital? I think it's more like carefully harvesting. --- How to phase the 79% of chips? Who are you trying to pull up? --- The premise of making money in the long term is surviving until that day, but I'm not sure. --- Creating panic by high selling and low buying—that's what you call "market behavior"? --- What does IP backing matter? If the fundamentals are weak, they're still weak.

79% concentration? Bro, isn't this just waiting to cut the leeks? I've seen it coming a long time ago. Wait, can a strong background really turn the tide? Why do I feel like I've heard this countless times before... Shakeout, shakeout, sounds convincing, but what about in reality? Look at those "carefully crafted" projects, how many of them haven't already become worthless coins? I just want to ask, with such high concentration, why would retail investors dare to enter... Long-term optimism? Bro, are you sure you're not just self-hypnotizing?

79% ah, it's the final madness. I've never seen such a pattern with good results.

79% huh, this is no joke. Retail investors playing around are just working for others.

79%? Laughing out loud, this is just blatant chip concentration. Retail investors entering is like sending vegetables. Wait, projects with a background are really different. Capital won't throw money around easily; after shaking out, they still need to pump. I've seen too many coins like this. The key is whether someone will take over later.

79%？ Oh my, that must have scared a lot of people. I’ll just throw it away. Wait, if the background is solid, it’s really different. This time, it might not be a trap to harvest new investors. Wash the market, wash the market, my ears are getting calloused from hearing it. The big players hold so many chips and still don’t pull the market down. Can you believe it? That’s why I only play coins with a story. I simply don’t care for those without a story.

79%？ Oh my, isn't this just blatantly cutting leeks, retail investors just waiting to die. I'm tired of the rinse and repeat tactics, isn't it just playing games with our hard-earned money. Wait, backed by a strong background? That feels different... Can holding long-term lead to a crash? I think this coin is quite risky, but I also feel like going all-in. I'm just afraid of getting trapped, and by then, there's nowhere to cry.

79% concentration—how intense is that? Retail investors entering just feed the market makers.
