I think many people don’t understand one thing. They believe that market makers and dog-themed bankroll operators push the price of “meme coins” because their costs are very high. In fact, a large amount of the chips (positions) are in the hands of the market maker. When there are fewer tokens in the market, the price will naturally rise. If you sell with your left hand and buy with your right, then you can pull the order book up. What you pay is only that little bit of slippage and trading fees. For example, #cys拉盘所付出的不过撑死二三百万u —this isn’t just about wash trading; it can also be used to open long positions and short positions, and the ones liquidated are the “fuel.” If shorts get liquidated, it requires buying to cover, which further pushes the price higher. A “darker” market maker will also widen the spread between spot and futures, and the funding rate can even trap those who short. Don’t short—it's all fuel.
