Market Education: Don't Turn Predictions into Gambling

Many people get it mixed up. The real market and social media are completely different. Experienced traders won't be defeated by trending memes—that's very realistic.

The last round of market predictions was basically an IQ test. And the result? A bunch of people lost everything. Why? Because some prediction market pages overnight turned into emotional fan groups, and the discussion about market trends went completely off track.

Retail investors follow the crowd, opinion leaders' words become gospel, and market sentiment overrides fundamentals—this combination can wipe out millions or even tens of millions.

Information asymmetry itself isn't the problem; the key is to recognize that predictions on the screen don't equal reality. Professional institutions and retail investors differ greatly in information channels, decision-making speed, and risk control capabilities.

So, before entering the market, think carefully: Are you analyzing, or just following the crowd?

Really, I've seen too many people treat All in as analysis, and end up Rekt in the end. Retail investors believe everything a big influencer says, and they deserve to be played people for suckers.

Really? Looking at those prediction pages is like watching a bunch of obsessed fans; you can't tell who is analyzing and who is gambling.

honestly, the correlation between twitter sentiment and actual liquidations is statistically significant at like... 95% confidence interval. people really think they're doing technical analysis when they're just pattern-matching dopamine hits from retweets. mathematically speaking, that's just gambling with extra steps and a false sense of rigor.

Really, as soon as I see the comment section full of "Must rise tomorrow," I know it's time to sell. The biggest enemy of retail investors is their own greed.
