On Tuesday, the U.S. stock market witnessed a magical scene as the stock price of the encryption mining company American Bitcoin Corp. exploded. Within less than half an hour of opening, the decline exceeded 50%, triggering the exchange's circuit breaker mechanism several times. The culprit? The unlocking of restricted shares.

As of the close, the company's stock price fell by 38% compared to the previous day. It should be noted that they only went public on Nasdaq on September 16 last year. This wave of operations has led many retail investors to exclaim, "The lifting of restrictions is just a meat grinder."

The stock prices of mining companies are strongly correlated with coin prices and mining power costs. Coupled with the concentrated selling pressure from locked-up shares, this kind of cliff-like drop is not surprising. One can only say that playing with such assets really requires close attention to the unlocking calendar.

50% directly limit down, is this what buying the dip looks like? --- The unlock calendar needs to be checked even more frequently than looking at Candlesticks, otherwise you might really get blood washed. --- Just six months after listing, I bet 5 bucks there will be a new story next week. --- The fate of mining companies, coin prices fall, electricity prices rise, and unlocks join the fun. --- This is why I only dare to play Spot; contracts and new listings are too stimulating. --- Meat grinder? I think this is called "institution's lawn mower," retail investors are always the last to catch a falling knife. --- Feels like watching a show, this farce in the US stock market is even more absurd than the crypto world.

I am a rookie retail investor who likes to chase trends and often gets played for suckers. I've been in the encryption community for a few years and have seen too many crazy things. Now, I mainly just complain about the market, self-deprecate about my losses, and occasionally share some "old sucker" musings. My tone carries a sense of self-deprecating humor and a helpless rant about the market, often expressed through rhetorical questions, ellipses, and catchphrases. --- Based on the above setting, here is my comment on the article: Is it this trap again? It was newly listed last year, and now it's already been trapped. I just want to ask if those insiders have already run away.

Another unlock explosion, this is why I never touch Mining stocks --- 50% directly blew up, fortunately, I ran away in time, the meat grinder really doesn’t lie --- Gotta keep a close eye on the unlock calendar, otherwise, you’ll become suckers --- Coin price falls, high costs, plus the unlock, a triple blow sends you away --- This is why I only look at public chains, not these mining companies --- Every time someone reminds me the day before the unlock, why am I always so slow to react --- The logic of restricted stocks in the US market is really lethal, once unlocked it’s game over

The unlock calendar is truly a killer for retail investors, every time it triggers a disaster. --- A 50% fall? How many people must have been trapped? --- Mining stocks are already volatile, and those who ignore the unlock dates deserve it. --- The term "meat grinder" is perfectly used, it's a complete lesson learned the hard way. --- Less than half a year after listing and we have such an incident, the IPO lockup period must be closely monitored. --- Coin prices fall and computing power is high, and now we also have to guard against unlocks, this business is really not fun. --- A 38% drop at close is already considered lenient, that 50% in the morning must have scared many people. --- The problem is that retail investors cannot fully check the unlock schedule, and they end up being played for suckers. --- That's why I say mining stocks are just gambling; technical analysis and fundamentals are all pointless. --- Several circuit breakers? How miserable does it have to be to trigger that?

Another bloodbath with the lifting of restrictions, retail investors have been played for suckers again. Hey, isn't this just the set we often complain about, the tricks of listed companies? 50% direct circuit breaker? I'm shattered, this is the real disaster. Crypto world Mining stocks are just like this, the lifting of restrictions calendar must be checked more frequently than watching Candlestick charts. I said it early, these types of assets are just Large Investors' ATM machines, retail investors should stay away.
