Many people say the crypto market's liquidity has dried up and the money is gone. But the law of conservation of energy tells us that money doesn’t disappear—it just moves around. Every penny you lose becomes profit in someone else’s pocket. What’s really decreasing isn’t the money, it’s the traders. Those seasoned pros who made their gains have long left the endless screens behind and headed to Hong Kong for Web3 meetups. By Victoria Harbour, they’re chatting about sectors, narratives, and networking, while retail investors are still glued to the charts, waiting to break even. Next up, retail investors exit, and it’s knives out between the big players. What’s left at the table is a battle of whales—testing knowledge, patience, and who folds first. This isn’t a bear market; it’s a survival game. Survival of the fittest, and the strong only get stronger.
