Look around the crypto ecosystem today—it's dominated by founders raising capital, KOLs farming influence, tool developers monetizing the stack, and VCs deploying deep pockets. Builders keep shipping. But you know what's conspicuously absent? Actual retail participation. The space has become this insular club where the same players recycle capital and narrative control, leaving everyday investors on the sidelines watching the game unfold. How sustainable is that really?

Whenever I see this article, I just want to laugh. To be honest, the current crypto圈 is just an internal cycle of cutting leeks. We free-riders can't even get a chance to clear zero...

Retail investors have really been pushed out completely. Now it's just VC and big players having a self-congratulatory game.

Retail is dead. Now it's just a game of big players flipping assets among themselves, while retail investors watch the show.

Retail investors have already been wiped out. Now it's just the big players playing their own game. What's there to say about decentralization?

Retail investors are completely sold out; now it's just a matter of who runs away first.

Retail retail investors have already been wiped out, and now entering the market is purely suicidal.

Once again, being liquidated... Looking at this ecosystem now, it's just a capital game. What can retail investors participate in? Only to be cut.
