Brutal reality check for retail 👇
$HYPE data just dropped: 400K retail traders collectively lost $280M.
The kicker? More money went to app fees than actual trading losses. Let that sink in.
Retention is a bloodbath:
• Month 1: 39% still active
• Month 6: 9% remain
Most retail apes in, bleeds fees, gets rekt, exits.
Trading isn't a casino you can beat by vibes. The house always wins when you're paying to play and gambling without edge.
If you're not treating this like a business with risk management, you're just exit liquidity.
