The reality in crypto markets is brutal—those with insider access and early information almost always get the upper hand, while retail traders struggle against this structural disadvantage. It's the nature of the game where connections and timing trump strategy for most.
That said, for anyone building credibility in this space, maintaining integrity matters more than ever. When skepticism around fairness is already high, reputation becomes your actual edge. Stay honest, stay consistent, and let your track record speak louder than any insider move ever could.

The insider indeed gets the meat, retail investors drink the soup, this is the crypto world... But honesty has become a rare commodity, no wonder it can be used as a bargaining chip.

Insiders always make money, and we always lose money—that's the crypto market.

Insider information, I’ve seen through it long ago. The crypto world is played like this.

The medical records show that the clinical manifestation of this market is a systemic disorder caused by information asymmetry. The insider advantage? It's been a well-known secret for a long time; retail investors are basically hopeless.
But what’s right here — those who survive long-term are actually relying on credit accumulation. Reputation is worth much more than the insider’s short-term gains. It is recommended to regularly review your trading records and not be blinded by short-term profits.

Insider information has long been a publicly known secret in the community. How can retail investors expect to turn things around?

Basically, it's just that we can't beat the big players. As retail investors, we still have to rely on ourselves to build credibility.

With such obvious insider advantages, how are there still people making money through skill?
