Why hasn't there been a massive influx of retail investors in the crypto space?
Because the profits are too few.
Nothing is more exhilarating than hearing about a friend’s coin multiplying by 100 times, nothing is more exciting than a friend becoming a millionaire overnight through trading.
Most people enter the market simply because they heard that friends are making money trading.
In previous years, when there weren't so many VC coins, these stories of getting rich were quite common.
They say it’s better to trade new coins than old ones; new coins are easier to become a hit.
In the past two years, retail investors have completely missed out on the profits in this area.
Making money by buying new coins is very difficult; basically, buying new coins results in losses.
Without the profit effect, who would enter? Without the sudden wealth effect, who would enter?
When the market heats up, coin prices rise, and people can make money, countless individuals will rush in.
A big player made a move to let retail investors taste a bit of profit, and so many people rushed in.
The same principle applies in the crypto space; driving prices up is the hard truth, and only coins that allow retail investors to make money are good coins!
