Speaking of bear market rhetoric, everyone is out there looking for reasons. But have you ever thought that maybe the answer is just that simple?

The numbers are right here — Bitcoin surged from $15,000 to $125,000, more than eight times. Solana skyrocketed from $9 to $285. The total market cap of memecoins once plummeted to 127 billion. Arbitrageurs copying trades made a fortune, with exchanges earning 1% in fees per transaction, raking in billions over the years.

Various celebrity concept coins are flying everywhere, but in the end? Investors' wallets are still emptied.

This isn't some profound economics; it's just the simplest game rule — after a rapid rise, there must be a sharp decline. When everyone is fabricating bearish stories, the real reason is actually laid out plainly in front of us.

BTC-0,16%

SOL0,6%

MEME-2,28%

Exchanges are laughing their heads off, while we are crying. 1% fee for a few years has earned billions, investors suffer huge losses, this is outrageous.

Basically, it's the big players taking the meat while retail investors drink the soup — nothing new.

Ha, it's the same old story. Exchanges earn billions in fees, retail investors are still buying celebrity coins, and seasoned players have long figured out the game rules.
