Western trading communities often use "whale" to describe those major players who control vast amounts of capital. We in the East are different. Opening the book of Zhuangzi, there is a fish in the Northern Sea, named Kun, which transforms into a bird, named Peng. This Kun hidden deep in the Northern Sea, is it not also describing those unfathomable giants in the market? A Kun, a whale, separated by a thousand years of culture, yet echoing each other in the crypto market. Both the East and the West use biological size to metaphorically represent market power, with one choosing the imagery of birds, and the other choosing the dominant creature of the sea. Interestingly, whether Kun or whale, their every move is enough to stir up waves in the market.

The metaphor of the Kunpeng spreading its wings is indeed brilliant, but to be honest, no matter how big the Kun is, it has to transform into a bird to fly. What about these big players? They just hold tightly to our chips and refuse to let go.

The Kun transforms into a Roc and soars, this metaphor is excellent and much better than the Western whale theory. To put it simply, it's all about big players cutting leeks, just with a different cultural packaging. Zhuangzi understood this long ago, and we are only now realizing it. When the Roc spreads its wings, retail investors have to run. Eastern aesthetics are vividly reflected in the crypto world. This copywriting is so good it made me cry. The Kunpeng dances, the market dances chaotically, an eternal truth.

Kun transforms into a roc and soars, whales rise and waves surge. In plain terms, it's all a synonym for big players harvesting retail investors.

The big players are soaring like Kun transforming into a roc and creating waves like whales. To put it simply, it's all the big investors playing with us retail investors.

Kunpeng and whales, to put it simply, are synonymous with the house operators. No matter how deep your cultural connotations are, in the end, you're still being cut.
