Some small cryptocurrencies may seem to have a sizable market cap, with the $13 million figure looking decent. But upon closer inspection, the actual liquidity is only $970,000. What does this mean? Simply put, the price support isn't based on real demand, but on a single idea in the minds of 6,400 holders—"It will go up."

It's like playing a psychological game. The price curve itself is a feedback loop between perception and reality. As long as everyone believes it will rise, the price will indeed go up. But how fragile is this consensus? Once it collapses, it can be catastrophic. Those seemingly stable data points can instantly realign with reality.

Participants in such projects are essentially racing against the madness of the crowd. Slightly loosening their mindset could mean they won't make it out unscathed.

13 million market cap, 970,000 liquidity, this gap is huge—typical pump-and-dump scheme. --- Honestly, it's just a game of musical chairs; whoever ends up holding the bag is the one who loses. --- That's why I never touch these crappy coins. With such low liquidity, how dare you play? --- Playing psychological games usually ends with everyone losing their capital—no exceptions. --- 6,400 people deceiving each other into thinking it will rise, which is basically 6,400 people acting as the market makers—laughable. --- It looks valuable but is actually all bubbles; I should have been immune to this hype long ago. --- Once the consensus breaks, it crashes immediately. These kinds of coins have no bottom line.

This is a hot potato game; sooner or later, it will land in someone's hands.

This is a typical pump coin scheme. With liquidity just under one million, who dares to take the bait?

This is like passing the flower in a drum, sooner or later someone will take the last hit. With such weak liquidity, just one big player running away can kill the entire market. So, never buy in when the consensus is at its hottest, that's the waiting room for bagholders. I haven't touched this kind of project for a long time, it's really too risky. The market cap and liquidity are so mismatched, what does that mean... just a false boom. The faith of 6400 people can't last long, one piece of bad news and it all collapses. It started off sounding good, but in reality it's a Ponzi scheme, playing with human nature. Wake up, everyone, this is not investing, it's gambling.
