These three types of people make a lot of money quietly in the crypto circle:
$LIGHT Pumpers: They don't trade coins or touch contracts, only earn intermediary fees. Big influencers running paid groups earn millions annually, sharing referral links to earn $100-$1000 per person; SEO teams dominate search engines, making tens of millions during bull markets; top bloggers rely on exchange rebates, with annual incomes in the tens of millions of dollars being common.
$RIVER Smart Traders: They make money through technical skills or information asymmetry, focusing on 'speed' and 'accuracy.' Programmers write scripts to batch grab airdrops and engage in MEV arbitrage, top bots earn millions monthly; watching CEX and on-chain price differences for risk-free arbitrage; monitoring data for large holders' movements and big orders, as if they have 'all-seeing eyes'; we trade news faster than retail investors, getting information a few minutes ahead and profiting from information lag.
$LIT Whales: They directly play the rules to profit at the expense of others. Secondary market whales stockpile altcoins, pump them 10x to entice retail investors to buy and then sell, still making a profit even after a 50% drop; in the primary market, issuing coins through MCN to capitalize on trends, creating false prosperity, bribing KOLs to deceive retail investors, ultimately either delaying their exit or fleeing. In many places, coins are classified as commodities, with no concept of 'market manipulation,' allowing whales to act so arrogantly.
