From a statistical perspective, the primary reason monopolistic operations struggle to succeed is due to the constraints of two fundamental factors:
Market structure, characterized by zero-sum games in the secondary market. Since the secondary market is purely a circulation market, it does not possess production capabilities and does not generate added value.

Psychological factors, specifically the issue of how to control profit-driven psychology. When operators are financially powerful enough to influence market prices, they face a very difficult choice: how to control their own 'degree' and avoid becoming the 'majority' in the market, as the majority tends to become the market losers.

Many investment managers have experienced that when the amount of funds is sufficient to influence market prices, creating paper profits (floating profits) is quite easy, but achieving actual profits is very difficult. The issue here is the control of 'degree'.
When operators profit from monopolistic operations, they find it even harder to control their psychological desires, making it difficult not to cross the boundary between the majority and the minority, ultimately leading to their own opposition.
