The Dark Forest Rules of the Cryptocurrency World: 12 Iron Laws of Survival Against Humanity

In the dark forest of the crypto world where there is no smoke of war, the market makers are top hunters, retail investors are prey waiting to be slaughtered, and anti-human operation is the only survival pass. The following 12 iron laws, word by word, pierce the heart and expose the underlying logic of market manipulation:

1. Decisively buy the dip during the day after a big drop, and wait quietly for a rally at 21:30 in the evening
The domestic white market is the main battlefield for retail panic selling; dumping to wash out positions is a routine operation for market makers. Before and around 21:30 in the evening, the European and American trading sessions open, and main funds enter to buy and push prices up. This is an unchanging liquidity game rule in the crypto circle.

2. Never chase after a big rise during the day; overnight pullbacks are inevitable
Daytime rallies are often traps to lure more in; market makers exploit retail investors’ “fear of missing out” at high levels to sell off. After retail investors take over at high prices, they reverse and dump in the evening to harvest, trapping those who chase the rise.

3. K-line needle signals are the ultimate indicator; the deeper the needle, the truer the trend
An upward needle is a trap to induce more buying and shake out weak hands; a downward needle is violent accumulation. The larger the needle, the stronger the market maker’s control, and the clearer the signal of a trend reversal.

4. Good news landing is actually bad news; speculation based on expectations is the key
Major meetings and project good news are pre-arranged by market makers for a rally; when the news is officially released, it’s the moment for the main players to distribute chips at high levels. “Buy on expectations, sell on facts” remains an unbreakable truth in the crypto world.

5. Community frenzy is the peak; reverse operation is the way to break through
When the community is full of praise for a certain coin, and big players hype the project to the sky, and retail investors are excited to blindly follow, it’s the final stage for market makers to sell off. At this point, shorting is more wise than buying in.

6. Hidden opportunities in cold recommendations from community members; small bets for early advantage
When the community recommends a coin you have no interest in or even think is “trash,” it’s often an undervalued potential target. When you hesitate and doubt, try a tiny position to test; most likely, you’ll catch the fast train to take off.

7. Heavy holdings will be targeted; exchanges are accomplices of market makers
Your position data is no secret to exchanges. When you hold a large amount of a coin, market makers will precisely target your cost basis to dump, until your stop-loss is triggered. Your liquidation order becomes their profit order.

8. Stop-loss on short positions signals a turning point; main players lure with false shorts to harvest
When you can’t bear the pressure and cut your short positions, the market will inevitably turn downward. Market makers aim to push up and trap short sellers, then after you’re forced out, they start the real downtrend. The movements of coins like TRB have long proven this.

9. Final escape attempt will backfire; main players won’t let you exit easily
When you’re just one point away from breaking even, the rebound suddenly stops—this is not bad luck but a calculated move by market makers. They will never let retail investors escape the encirclement without losses.

10. Taking profit and exiting is the starting point of a rally; retail investors leaving signals the main upward wave
When you take small profits and exit, that’s exactly when the market maker begins to push up. Only when most retail investors are shaken out and chips are highly concentrated will the main force trigger the real bull run.

11. The more excited you are, the closer the crash; emotions are tools for market makers to harvest
When you’re so excited about your holdings that you can’t sleep and share your gains everywhere, it’s a signal that the market is about to trap you. Your greed and excitement are pre-designed traps set by market makers.

12. The poorer you are, the more the market rises; FOMO is the ultimate killer
When you lose everything and are forced to watch from the sidelines, the market will instead surge across the board. Market makers use the profit effect to trigger your FOMO, lure you to borrow money to enter, and then harvest again.

Ultimate conclusion: 80% of the market movements in the crypto world are manipulated by market makers. Retail investors must do two things to survive—strictly control positions and act later. Before market makers clearly reveal their manipulation intentions, never enter the market; always remember, your game with market makers is not about technique, but about patience, resolve, and anti-human restraint.
