Why 90% of traders lose money, or why systems are designed to work against us
Right now, the market feels like a merry-go-round: centralized systems are tightening the screws, preparing new restrictions and tax oversight, while ordinary users are left alone with their risks"
I remember how, at the beginning of the year, I started developing my own project on the Solana blockchain—and immediately ran into a pile of roadblocks from traditional systems. But this only proves the main point: the true value of crypto is decentralization and independence.
How do you protect your assets right now?
Do you use only DEXs and self-custody (non-custodial)?#
Do you trust centralized exchanges despite all the risks?
Let’s discuss it in the comments. Follow along—there’ll be plenty more real-world experience with development, the market, and surviving under new regulations!
#Solana Who really controls the market? The 1% versus everyone else
We’re used to thinking of the market as the collective intelligence of thousands of traders. But the truth is much harsher.
50% of the capital provides the foundation, but those who hold the levers control the movement.
In practice, just 1% of participants can move the market, creating artificial trends, manipulating liquidity, and making the crowd get it wrong.
Everyone else helps keep the process running while the “elite” take the lion’s share of the profits. That’s exactly why centralized systems are so convenient for this 1% and so dangerous for ordinary users.
That’s exactly why true decentralization and creating our own rules of the game are the only way to avoid being mere fuel for someone else’s manipulation.
Do you think a beginner can make money in a market ruled by this 1%, or is the only way out to create their own projects and rules?
