Want to know where real money's positioned? Stop obsessing over volume charts.
Open Interest tells you way more. It shows actual skin in the game—real capital at risk. Volume? That's easy to manipulate. Wash trading bots can pump those numbers all day long, making dead markets look alive. OI doesn't lie the same way. It's traders putting collateral down, not just spinning the same coins in circles.

OI is indeed fierce, but the real whales have already been accumulating positions in the shadows.

Really, OI is the real truth; trading volume is just a paradise for scammers.

OI is indeed fierce, much more reliable than volume by who knows how many times.

I've been through it all. Got numb from being wiped out by watching volume during that 2018 wave, and now I'm still fooling myself with OI? Honestly, it's all just a data game. When it comes to real money, you still have to know when to get out.

OI is indeed ruthless, but to be honest, there are quite a few tricks to faking on-chain data... Can you really say that all those leveraged positions in the contracts are real money?
