Crypto Marketing Tricks — Full Breakdown & Transcript

[00:02] decentralization, the financial revolution, and the miracle of blockchain. But what if the crypto industry's main product isn't blockchain at all? What if billions of dollars

[00:14] were made in places where the average investor would never be allowed? In this video, we'll break down how crypto marketing actually works, [music], and build protection against shchitcoins, fake volumes, and paid bloggers.

[00:29] market makers and other scammers. My name is Sergey. I'm the author of the SRK Crypto channel, a trader and investor with twenty years of experience. Disclaimer: this video does not contain any financial advice. Let's go. Let's deal with the main myth right away. Crypto

[00:43] is sold as the most advanced tool for money. And in the long run, this is largely true. In recent years, Bitcoin has outperformed almost all traditional assets and

[00:55] has become one of the most powerful instruments of the decade. But as always, not everything is so sweet. Let's be honest, without rose-colored glasses, if we take not the ideal entry point somewhere at the bottom, but specific periods of recent years, the picture is no longer

[01:11] so fairytale-like. Gold could have seen strong growth, real estate in various countries could have also risen significantly in price, and Bitcoin, if entered at the wrong time, could have hovered below its peaks for a long time. So what's the bottom line? Paradox: no. This is where the

[01:28] whole essence is hidden. The asset itself is powerful, no doubt about it , but how much of this profitability goes to the average investor? It's not just the asset that decides, it's the game around it that decides, when people were allowed to enter, at what price, and

[01:42] who was on the other side of the deal. Many held in their hands the very best and still ended up in the red. By the end of the video, there will be three specific techniques that will help you avoid handing over your income to strangers. And it

[01:58] all starts, by the way, not with a chart, but with the story that the market is told. If you enjoy this rose-colored analysis of cryptocurrency, please give it a thumbs-up and leave a comment below to share your thoughts. Subscribe to the YouTube channel

[02:13] subscribe to the Telegram channel; the link will be in the description below the video. There we post the latest news from the world of cryptocurrency, various bonuses, and promotions. Well, we continue. Any growth, any pump does not start with a graph, it

[02:28] starts with a story, with a narrative. People are never sold just a coin, they are sold a dream. And it works in three stages. Step one is a new technology that will change everything. Blockchain will change the world.

[02:44] Tokens based on and the future of real assets on the blockchain. Trillions of dollars. It sounds smart, it sounds respectable, most people nod. The second step is stronger.

[02:56] Serious money, institutional investors, and large funds are already coming here. Some bank is integrating, Blackrock bought something there . The logic is simple: if smart people are coming in, then we should get in too. Right ? And you won’t make it to the third stage, the most powerful one

[03:13] ? And you won’t make it to the third stage, the most powerful one . The price is already flying in the chat, people are shouting, someone has X's on the screenshots. And then when something clicks inside, damn, everything passes by. My hand automatically reaches for the buy button. Not because the person figured it out, but

[03:27] because he was afraid of being left behind. And the most offensive thing is that by the time the story reaches retail, those who launched it are already sitting in the black and preparing to exit. They bought the story, but they will sell reality. But every

[03:43] story needs a teller, someone who will be believed. And then people come onto the scene who are trusted even more than funds. Question: Why does the belief that a coin will fly up arise? Honestly, often because someone

[03:59] popular said something about her. Favorite blogger, influencer, trader in Telegram. An answer that few people like. Very often they get paid for it. And they pay exactly so that people buy at the moment when the organizers themselves are already getting ready to

[04:15] go out. The most illustrative example. Twenty-first year. Kim Kardashian, she had hundreds of millions of followers back then. Posts about the EUM Max token. This is

[04:27] n't exactly financial advice, I'm just sharing what my friends told me. Cute, huh ? And the amount for this advice from friends is $250,000 for one post. How

[04:39] did [the music] end? The US regulator, Sec, fined her $1,260,000. Precisely because she did not disclose the payment. The token itself, after the hype,

[04:51] collapsed to almost nothing, and those who believed in it were left with empty wallets. By the way, she, along with boxer Mayweather, was later dragged through the courts for the classic pump-and-drain scheme. Here is all the mechanics in one frame. The blogger gets paid, people

[05:07] buy, the organizers leave, and the retail remains. But one blogger, even with millions of subscribers, can't single-handedly depict the seething trading volume and the feeling that everyone around is buying up the coin. Behind these numbers are those who

[05:23] literally draw them. A picture familiar to many. We go to the exchange and look at the coin. [music] The trading volume is huge, millions of dollars. It clicks in my head: "Oh, there's demand, they're taking the coin. I need one too. The question is simple: is the volume real?" The

[05:39] short answer is often no. Now in more detail. There is such a thing. Money laundering trade. This is when a market maker [music] or bots move a coin back and forth with themselves. We bought it from ourselves and sold it to ourselves. The

[05:54] chart showed volume, movement, and interest. But in reality there is no buyer. For what? To create exactly that illusion of demand, so that the coin climbs higher in the rankings, catches people's eyes, and triggers the thought: "There's action here, we need to

[06:10] buy it." And this is not a couple of percent. A major academic study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research in the United States found that unregulated exchanges account for an average of over 70% of volume. This is such a

[06:27] fiction. That is, out of the $10 turnover on the screen, a significant part can simply be drawn. And they are already punishing for this . In October 24,

[06:39] SEK took over several companies at once. market makers. They used bots to inflate token volumes for money. Caught, proven, fined, everything is for real. Okay, the demand has been drawn, but the question is more interesting. Let's assume the price is

[06:54] real. Then why does it so often go exactly where traders have stop losses? It's as if someone sees them. The situation is familiar to many. The trader places a stop loss to protect himself. The price falls exactly to this stop, knocks out

[07:11] the position and immediately turns back up without it. Coincidence? Let's figure it out. The first thing that comes to mind is, yes, it’s just the market, panic, everyone is selling. Sometimes, yes, but somehow too carefully, down to the last penny, down to

[07:26] the level where the stops and crowds hang. Second [music] option. Well, no luck, that missed the boat too. There is no such thing as bad luck. So much and so regularly. And here is the real answer. Large players see where liquidity is concentrated, that is, where there are a bunch of

[07:41] stop-losses and orders. For them, it's just a swimming pool that's convenient to dive into. The price is pushed into this zone, all stops and liquidations are collected, a cheaper position is gained stops and liquidations are collected, a cheaper position is gained and released back. This is what they

[07:56] call: liquidity hunting. Sounds like a conspiracy theory. Then here is the number. On October 10, 2020, the crypto market saw more than

[08:08] the crypto market saw more than $19 billion worth of positions wiped out in a single day, with more than one and a half million traders trading in a single day. It was the biggest liquidation blow in the history of the crypto market. And an important detail: the main pain was in the shoulder position. With

[08:23] 100k leverage, a 1% move is enough to get you out. And the big players are well aware of where the crowd has gathered. OK. This is about those who are already trading. Now about the entrance. About something that looks like a gift and therefore works

[08:39] better than any advertising. Airdrop. The scheme is as follows: complete a few actions, subscribe, make a transaction, refer a friend, and get free tokens. Free money? Well,

[08:51] who would refuse? Question: Why is the project suddenly giving money away to strangers for no reason ? The short answer is because it's cheaper than advertising. Let's look at it from two sides. The person gave me money for free. Lucky. On the

[09:06] project side, we received hundreds of thousands of registrations, a ton of transactions, and social media buzz for practically nothing. One big airdrop easily replaces an advertising campaign worth millions of dollars. That is, from the outside it seems like you got lucky and snagged a freebie

[09:22] . But in fact, a distribution participant is a paid reach. Free tokens, a lure to get people to open wallets, build volume, bring friends, and [music] of a living, bustling project. Sometimes an honest

[09:39] and truly generous airdrop happens, but more often than not, it's just a regular marketing budget item. And the participants themselves pay for it with their attention and activity . And here's what's important. While newcomers are enjoying $100 worth of free tokens

[09:54] , those who launched the project are already sitting on it with different amounts and at completely different prices. By the way, [music] if you work with a script not through shady distributions and shields from chats, but normally, you need an adequate platform. I

[10:10] use BBIT for this. [music] This is the top crypto exchange in the whole world. It features a user-friendly trading terminal, spot futures trading, a variety of earning tools, Spot X, a pre-market, trading, copy trading, and trading bots. In the

[10:26] Banking earn section, you can open a crypto deposit. You can also open a payment card for yourself, just like a bank card. Only here you can pay for purchases with cryptocurrency. After registration, we complete

[10:38] verification in the "Buy Cryptocurrency, P2P Trading" section. You can top up your balance using a bank card or any other payment system. I'll leave a link to register with maximum welcome bonuses in the

[10:52] description below the video. Don't miss your chance. And if you don’t understand something, go to the channel, playlists. Here is a whole playlist of Bybit by Bybit training for beginners. In this playlist, you'll find answers to almost all your

[11:05] questions about the Bybit crypto exchange. It also discusses numerous ways to make money on this crypto exchange. This is probably the most unpleasant insight in the entire video, when a person buys a new trendy token on a listing and thinks:

[11:22] "Great, I'll get in at the very beginning." In fact, he comes in last. Let's look fact, he comes in last. Let's look at the chain. Henture joins the project at the earliest stage, nominally at one cent per token. Then a little later.

[11:37] The token is sold to the public at a higher price, for example, for 10 cents, and on the exchange, during the listing, it opens at a dollar. What does retail see? Wow, the token is growing, I need to buy it. What does the fund think at this moment ? We had already made 100 x's

[11:53] before people even knew the name of the project. Now let's add what we've already talked about. There is a tiny percentage in free circulation . According to Bancearch, many of the tokens launched in 2024 only had a small fraction of their supply in circulation at launch

[12:09] . Everything else is locked up with early investors, the team, and funds. And when the unlock occurs , and its schedule is known in advance, the funds receive their tokens, bought for a cent, and sell them at the current inflated

[12:26] price. To whom? [music] Retail. This is why many new tokens go down after listing. Between 2024 and 2030, approximately $155 billion worth of locked tokens could enter the market

[12:44] project was unlucky. Often [music] is designed this way, the model itself. Early investors enter cheaply, marketing fuels interest, and the retail investor becomes liquidity for those who entered at a price. After all this, it seems as if there is

[12:58] nothing to catch here at all. But no, [music] there is no point in running, because when the whole kitchen is visible, the most useful part begins. What to do with all this? The problem, as is already clear, is that by default, retail is feed. Those who are

[13:13] being made money off, but it can be cured. Three simple techniques without any magic. Technique one: catch the Thomas in you. When you see a coin that flies upward and lights up inside, you need to take it immediately; this is a signal

[13:28] to slow down. This feeling is turned on deliberately. [music] This also includes freebies. They give out free tokens or provide convenient access. It's time to ask who organized all this so conveniently and why.

[13:42] Second reception. Check takinomics before purchasing. [music] Two numbers are enough. How many coins are in circulation now and how many will there be in total? If there is a small percentage in circulation, and large unlocks are ahead, the entry occurs

[13:56] just before the funds that bought in for a cent start to exit. Special sites show this for free in a couple of minutes. Reception three. Remove excess minutes. Reception three. Remove excess shoulder. The big shoulder is a way to

[14:10] wearing. [music] Those 19 billion in October are mostly people with leverage. The smaller the shoulder, the smaller the target. That's all. No blockchain genius is needed here. Just stop acting like the perfect

[14:25] victim and half of your problems will go away . Now there's one thought worth taking away from the video. For example, I'm increasingly looking towards algorithmic trading, when the market constantly provokes nafom, unnecessary entries and

[14:40] emotional decisions, it's better to leave part of the process to the rules. Dragonfly is a trading bot that operates according to a preset algorithm and helps you avoid turning every trade into a manual battle with yourself. With automated

[14:55] trading, the profitability here is quite decent, from a conservative 6-8% [music] per month of the deposit to more aggressive ones, per month of the deposit to more aggressive ones, from 50 to 150% of the deposit monthly.

[15:08] I left a link to a detailed video in the description below this video. But as always, a bot is not a magic button, but a tool [music] that needs to be understood. The main thing is that crypto is not a scam, and there is no need to run away from here. It is an

[15:21] instrument that, in the long run [music], has surpassed almost everything. It's just that he has very strict rules, where half of the players know them and half don't, and the other half pays for the first. Everything that was taken apart. Why did the best asset

[15:36] end up in the red for the majority? Stories, narratives, paid bloggers. Painted demand, stop hunting, free airdrops and funds. Those who entered the

[15:48] center are simply a map of the area. You can see where the holes have been dug, which means you do n't have to walk in them. The loser here is not the one who came to crypto, but the one who came and did not learn the rules. Don't forget to like, comment and
