Recently, the price of USDT has been acting a bit strange. There are rumors in the market that it’s related to liquidity issues on a certain platform. I’ve heard that many retail investors panicked and sold at low prices, which ended up benefitting black and gray market players who scooped up USDT cheaply. In the end, it’s the ordinary people who lose out in this wave.

At the end of the day, you have to shoulder the risk of stablecoins yourself. BTC and ETH are also deep in a bear market right now, and there’s no sign of improvement in the short term. Want to make money in this kind of market? Unless you have superb trading skills, you’ll probably lose money no matter what you do.

Just be patient; prices will come back eventually. The most important thing right now is to protect your principal and not blindly try to buy the dip. When the market’s bad, survival is more important than anything else.

I'm already tired of seeing retail investors getting fleeced; it's always the same story, even stablecoins aren't stable. Just preserving your principal is enough, why even think about making money? Just wait, it's not like a little more time will make a difference anyway.

Retail investors got rekt again, this wave is truly brutal. Even stablecoins aren’t stable—who could have expected that? Just surviving is good enough, don’t even think about catching the bottom. With Bitcoin dropping like this, you still want to make money? Keep dreaming. Your principal is what really matters, everything else is just an illusion.

It's the same story of retail investors getting rekt, every single time. Seriously, I've seen through it all. If it's a bear market, so be it. At least you can keep a calm mindset, which is better than blindly dreaming of getting rich. The advice about preserving your principal is right, but in reality, most people just can't do it. As soon as they have coins in hand, they want to dump them. At times like this, it's actually the big players quietly accumulating. Us small retail investors can only watch. After what happened with USDT, I've started feeling sick of stablecoins. Diversification is still necessary. Honestly, the biggest takeaway from a bear market is learning to handle losses. If you survive, you win. I've seen too many platforms blow up. Next time, I need to stay more alert.

Retail investors got rekt again. This move is just absurd. How are black and gray market operations always so precise?

It's the same old rhetoric again... Retail investors are really too easily scared into selling, and the black and gray market operators thrive on this. Staying alive is important, and so is your principal, but the real problem is that we don't even know who's taking advantage of whom, do we?

Retail investors got burned again. This trick is getting old... Like I always say, jumping in without any skills is just giving away your money.

Here we go again? Haven’t enough retail investors been squeezed already? It’s always the same trick every time.
