Some low-liquidity tokens are engaging in套路 around staking products. The套路 is simple: first, let retail investors wear down their chips in trading competitions, then推出 high-yield staking plans (usually locking for 7 days with no redemption), at which point people start疯狂 buying to拉盘. Once retail investors lock in大量, the whales will create爆空行情, eat up leveraged orders, and then顺势出货. This type of行情 usually happens most fiercely in the first few days after staking starts. When the redemption window is about to close, the price begins to slowly decline. Traders' usual response strategy is to find the bottom低点 to go long and build a position, then switch to short for profit during the rebound. Recognizing this套路 is crucial.

It's the same old trick, the same script every time... Staking for those 7 days is basically sending sheep into a wolf's den. I've already blacklisted this kind of coin, it's not worth it. Be careful when bottom-fishing; sell on the rebound, or you'll get trapped again. The manipulator's tactics are so obvious, and some people still rush in—really unbelievable.

It's the same old story again. Low liquidity coins rarely have anything good. As soon as a 7-day lock-up appears, I know something's going to go wrong. The market maker's tricks are really slick. --- The night before a pump, someone is always shouting buy signals wildly. When you rush in and lock your position, they start dumping. It's too outrageous. --- I've tried building a position at the bottom multiple times, but I'm just afraid that before the rebound comes, they'll dump again, and my mindset will collapse. --- Staking looks like high returns on the surface, but it's full of traps. Recognizing the tricks really requires being more cautious. --- It's really clever—retail investors get their chips worn down and then get trapped. This game, players can never guess what the market maker's next move will be. --- I've memorized this routine every time, but when it comes to execution, it's still easy to be driven by emotions. --- I've seen too many cases of shorting with leverage, and I'm already numb to it. --- I now avoid low liquidity coins altogether to prevent getting trapped.

Another classic rookie trap, I can see through this routine with my eyes closed. It's outrageous. As soon as the words "staking" appear, I know something's going to go wrong. 7-day lock-up? Bro, that's a trap. Those chasing high yields have to pay tuition. The market maker really knows how to play, creating a massive short squeeze with leveraged positions and then dumping, providing a full-service operation. Wait, this strategy sounds simple, but how many people actually succeed in bottom-fishing? Most are still being repeatedly exploited. Recognizing the tricks is easy; avoiding the traps is the real challenge, honestly.

Here we go again with the same routine every time. Retail investors are just destined to be chopped like leeks.

It's the same old trick again, I've seen it too many times... Be especially cautious during those few days of staking, 100% someone is trying to bleed you dry. --- Seven-day lock-up just to try to cut me? Ha, bottom-fishing is the right way, wait for the rebound and go short, and fleece the whales. --- Honestly, I never touch staking for these kinds of coins, the risk is too high. --- Trying to buy the bottom and go long is indeed ruthless, the key is to have enough patience to hold until the rebound... I don't have that mental toughness. --- It's always the same routine, retail investors still foolishly lock up their positions, really wake up. --- Recognizing the routine is simple, what's truly difficult is knowing when to get in without getting chopped... Has anyone fallen into this trap?

It's the same old trick again, and it's always the greedy retail investors who fall for it. --- Staking and locking up tokens is a trap; I won't touch it anymore. --- I've seen through it—pump the price, short the market, then dump—this is the three-step playbook of the whales, and they play it slick. --- Damn, I lost everything—including my underwear—trying to operate like that. --- Buying the dip at the bottom is easy to get wrong; the real profit comes from those who are in the know. --- Avoid low-liquidity tokens; the risk is terrifyingly high. --- Does anyone really make money by recognizing these tricks, or are they all just armchair strategists after the fact? --- Locking tokens for seven days is like handing your money over to the whales; paying the IQ tax properly. --- I was crying during the most intense part a few days ago. --- This trick sounds simple, but to really pull it off, you need to be incredibly smart.

Here we go again, staking is just a harvesting machine, I've seen through it long ago. Locking for seven days? Ha, just waiting to be smashed down. --- The manipulator's tactics are so cliché, always the same script, retail investors still rush in. --- The key is to recognize which are genuine stakes and which are traps, otherwise you'll really suffer heavy losses. --- I now avoid low-liquidity coins, it's too easy to get trapped. Better to miss out than get cut. --- This round of operation is truly brilliant, first grinding your chips, then setting a trap, and then a quick short squeeze—really ruthless. --- Building a position at the bottom and then short-term profit? Easier said than done, who dares to buy the dip when it happens? --- Always want to do contrarian moves, but end up getting slapped in the face. Better to observe first and act later. --- I won't touch staking yields anymore, I've had enough losses once. --- That's why I only play mainstream coins, small-cap tokens are just too risky.

It's the same old trick again, a 7-day lock-up is just a trap. I fell for it last time. The manipulators are really getting more ruthless, first they grind, then they pump, and finally they cut. Staking products... just seeing them now makes me reflexively want to run. Bottom-fishing? Easy to say, but who knows where the bottom is? I've already blacklisted this kind of coin; I can't afford to get hurt.

It's the same old trick again, really annoying --- 7-day lock-up? I just pass, this is a trap --- Bottom-fishing and then flipping to a short position, it's easy to say but extremely risky to do --- Rallying wildly before staking, then exploding short after locking, how many times has this cycle repeated and people still fall for it --- Once you understand, it's just waiting for the bottom to be hit before acting, but if the timing isn't right, it's all pointless --- This operation has become routine for low-liquidity small-cap coins, gotta be more cautious --- Always the same, retail investors get cut so many times they become numb --- I'm just surprised there are still people willing to hold for 7 days without redeeming, their brains really... --- The most disgusting part of this market is that you'll never know where the bottom is --- Staking = jumping into a fire pit, no problem
