Yesterday my friend asked: If you just a trader how can you describe why you’re net positive to society? Despite taxes of course.
Good question. Had me think. I have 3 points:
- Taking liquidity from bad projects to good projects. The government have very limited capacity to identify which projects are good or bad. Traders (especially with on-chain instruments) can identify it much better and naturally.
- Fighting market inefficiencies. Every project suffer from capital being to slow or too stubborn. By eliminating inefficiencies traders allow investors and other market participants faster see real value of a project.
- Financial soldiers. Sometime traders protect sometimes attack. If country dismiss financial traders as a part of society it’s highly likely it will suffer in international financial battlefield. Crypto will be the biggest battlefield humankind knows, and as funny as it sounds memecoin trades are the most -scarred warriors right now.
What do you think about traders and when someone describe himself as a cryptocurrency trader?
Does your opinion change in a bull or bear markets?

Most Important Crypto #1 (June 27, 2026)
In this series I dive into macro, derivatives & on-chain data to offer you a slightly different perspective on the market.
Please join me. Let's see what money whispers today.
New day new accumulation into negative.
1. $VEGETA - 7day looks strong but 24h seems like a sell off. No info on 5m mcap token.
2. $PYTEST - accumulation, liq is ok
3. solana:69LjZUUzxj3Cb3Fxeo1X4QpYEQTboApkhXTysPpbpump - ongoing accumulation.
4. solana:8PzFWyLpCVEmbZmVJcaRTU5r69XKJx1rd7YGpWvnpump - ongoing accumulation.
5. $SPCX - too small inflows to say smth.
Example of patterns that works in bear market.
Besides trading $OPAL seems like a solid follow if you like companies that actually generate revenue in crypto.
Tried @nansen_ai today for the first time in 3 month (cool new UI!) and spotted project solana:2PzS5SYYWjUFvzXNFaMmRkpjkxGX6R5v8DnKYtdcpump ( @opal_dex ) by the former Coinbase tech lead.
It's a DEX for RWA projects with some new tech that I can't quite understand but on a paper it should fix counter trading problem.

What I like is that smart money just keep buying lately and someone from top 100 holders sold into this pump and then short buy back in.
But please verify for yourself: https://t.co/cw4J52sbZO
Explanation: on max pain chart 2.2k ethereum:native is a least expected place for professional traders who hedge their positions.
Liq. maps shows, highlighted yellow, places where short squeeze be pushing price higher.
Strongest SM buys into weakness (7 days).
1. solana:4TyZGqRLG3VcHTGMcLBoPUmqYitMVojXinAmkL8xpump (@testicletoken) - SOL meme
2. solana:8PzFWyLpCVEmbZmVJcaRTU5r69XKJx1rd7YGpWvnpump - ?! need community clarification
3 &4 - not much diff between inflows & outlfows
5. solana:69LjZUUzxj3Cb3Fxeo1X4QpYEQTboApkhXTysPpbpump (@codecopenflow) - simulate robots on-chain?
I'll attach results to post in 7 days.
Logic behind this pattern: Smart money usually take contrarian side of the bet when rest are selling, demonstrating information superiority.
This however better to be observed in dynamic for longer time frames as counter positions take time to build.
