It's telling how market dynamics shape trading behavior in unexpected ways. Major holders face real constraints—positioning into emerging altcoins often triggers massive slippage, making it impractical for large orders. Yet the appetite for volatility doesn't disappear. That's why veterans keep rotating into established assets with enough liquidity and price swings to deliver the rush they're after. The psychology behind it reveals something fundamental about how speculative markets actually function.

Large investors are trapped by liquidity, which is why everyone is speculating on mainstream coins. The psychological explanation is quite spot-on.

Big players are actually also trapped; to put it simply, it's a liquidity issue... I've seen through it long ago.

Big players are like this: tokens with poor liquidity can't be moved at all, and can only be traded back and forth within mainstream coins.

Big investors are actually quite helpless too. When liquidity is insufficient, they have to pour into the top projects. In plain terms, it's a forced choice.

Big players are also suffering from slippage, no wonder they are all rushing to mainstream coins.
