Looking at this wave of operations, it truly confirms the old saying—every major conference is followed by a dip. During the Davos Forum, all the news was positive, yet the crypto market actually declined. This rhythm is indeed quite interesting.

The most noteworthy change is the attitude shift of financial institutions. The day before yesterday, Charles Schwab, managing 12 trillion yuan, fully expressed support for cryptocurrencies. Yesterday, UBS, managing 6 trillion yuan, also publicly took a side. UBS CEO bluntly stated—blockchain is the future of traditional banking. If the banking system does not proactively integrate this technology, it will eventually be eliminated.

This statement sounds quite heavy, but upon closer reflection, these two giants probably had plans behind the scenes long ago. This public declaration is most likely because their positions are already sufficiently established, and they have bought almost everything they needed. Now is the time to openly take a side and influence public opinion. From their defensive attitude towards crypto to now actively engaging, what does this shift reflect? It’s probably that traditional finance has realized—if they don’t keep up with the blockchain wave, they will truly be left behind by history.

It's the same old trick again, big institutions lay in ambush first and then make a statement, while retail investors like us are always the last to take the fall.

Haha, I've seen this propaganda strategy too many times. Large institutions first get fully vested before publicly taking sides. It's a classic information asymmetry tactic, essentially harvesting the consensus of late-to-react retail investors.

The joke "Every time there's a big event, it crashes" is truly spot on. How is it so accurate? Big institutions only reveal themselves now; they've been secretly accumulating all along. How many times has this trick been played, and I still have to teach it?

The "every time there's a big event, it crashes" joke is really spot on, always exactly on time. UBS's rhetoric sounds pretty fancy, but they've probably already piled up their chips long ago. Now they’re just coming out to give a speech, truly an old banker’s tactic. What’s really interesting is the shift of big institutions from defense to offense. In plain terms, it’s the prelude to starting to harvest the retail investors once their positions are saturated. They definitely bet right this time, but the result of us retail investors following suit... never mind, I won’t say more.

Charles Schwab and UBS are only now taking sides, what does that mean? It shows that they've had their chips laid out long ago. This wave of public opinion harvesting is absolutely on point.

Every time there's a big conference, the market drops. This trick has been played out already haha Actually, it's just these institutions secretly buying enough first, then coming out to shout good news. The UBS CEO's words sound intimidating, but honestly, it's probably just announcing that it's time to harvest. But on the other hand, this wave of attitude change is indeed a bit sudden. The financial giants have finally chickened out.

Charles Schwab and UBS's move is truly a textbook example of "accumulating first, then hyping." Falling every time there's a conference is really not some mysterious phenomenon; this tactic has been played out for a long time.
