Ever notice the pattern? Whales dump altcoins onto major exchanges, harvest the liquidity spike, then watch the token bleed out. Classic move. But here's where it gets interesting—what if they're now eyeing US equities the same way? Bringing traditional stock markets to global exchanges, building the infrastructure... you start wondering if the playbook's the same. Exit liquidity through new channels, new markets, new victims? Hard to say for sure, but the mechanics feel familiar enough to make you pause.

the liquidity extraction playbook never changes, just different markets to bleed dry... classic alchemy of pump & vanish

Damn, it's the same old trick of cutting leeks... just with a different disguise in the stock market?
---
Wait, can the operation manual of big players really be seamlessly transferred to traditional finance? I feel a bit skeptical...
---
So they're just moving to different places to harvest, every new market is a new sheep wool field.
---
Haha... I doubt it, this is just a systematic harvesting process, just changing the numbers and it can be used.
---
Suddenly thought, could it be that the institutions in the stock market have been using similar routines all along? It's just that we haven't realized...
---
Does this logic hold? The routine does seem a bit similar, but the stock market has regulations...
---
Virtual assets being cut once and still daring to do it again, truly impressive.

Damn, this logic connection is perfect... The tricks of big players are so simple and brutal, just changing markets to change the little guys...
Is traditional finance starting to use this too? Then let's just wait and watch the show.
This move is really flashy, fresh blood comes in and gets hurt.
No, here's the problem—who will regulate these people?
Another story of a liquidity trap... I'm really tired of this shit.
So fundamentally, it's still information asymmetry and power imbalance. Can't compete, brother.
How long can this trick last? Feels like it will eventually blow up.

Damn, this logic is too bizarre. Big players cut their coins and then cut stocks? You really got me stunned...
---
Can this trick be used again just by changing its appearance? Why do I feel like Wall Street and the crypto world are becoming more and more similar?
---
It's terrifying when you think about it. The liquidity harvesting machines keep upgrading their versions. Are we all stuck in the same cycle?
---
No, your idea is really daring... but it does make some sense.
---
So basically, it's all a game for the big players, same old trick, different packaging? Then we retail investors really can't escape.
---
Just thinking about it makes me sick. After harvesting in the crypto world, they want to mess with the stock market too. These people really know how to play.
---
Wait, are you saying that traditional finance is also starting to learn the crypto world’s method of harvesting retail investors? If that’s true, it’s really outrageous.
---
I believe it. After witnessing how disastrous contract liquidations can be, we can’t handle the same in the stock market.

The routine is really the same, change the track and continue to cut, to put it bluntly, it is to change the soup and not change the medicine
