trading stocks vs crypto on insider info

it can also be similar to pump and dump schemes i guess where you personally know the ones who developed the token and know when exactly they will be dumping the token but again it is pretty detectable won't you agree?

For me, that's the best insider information anyone can have. Whenever I hear that someone turned $10 to $10k –$20k I know it's usually through this type of information. It's never going to be a coincidence. Any day I stumble on such opportunity, I ain't going to waste it by going in small. It's a risk I'm willing to go in all.

Usually insider behavior exists in crypto too, but it’s easier to spot because everything is already onchain. Big wallets moving before news or team wallets dumping are usually visible to everyone, so insider info doesn’t stay secret for long.

Following or tracking wallets onchain is even a difficult way of retrieving insider's information. I've heard stories of direct exposure of what team wants to do in respect to pumping or dumping their tokens; especially pumping. Those who share such stories and their involvement always have testimonies and evidences of their participations to show for it.  There's no better sure way of benefiting from insider's information than that.

When it comes to local stock trading here in our country, it is down by more than 50%. This means our investors here would be at a loss if they sell now, because the economy has really collapsed and, to be honest, everyone is affected.

That's why some other investors are just holding their positions for now, because they are still hesitant to invest since the economy here is not doing well. But if they invest in crypto trading, perhaps they can still get a return on their capital investment. Though it's volatile, at least they are also in control of their own assets.

Even with stocks, they can make profits if they plan to hold for a long time even in a dropping economy. The stocks will recover some or the other day because not just the company but a lot of investors depend on the profits. Stocks will take a hit if the economy is collapsing but they will eventually recover as well so holding them for sometime can always be helpful.

With cryptos, we see that the markets here too are collapsing and this might remain the same for maybe a couple of months or even a year. So even here making profits as of now is a bit difficult. Situation will be the same everywhere you go but patience will be the key.

The actions of insider information could be very helpful that one can make good profit without any fear for market risk usually involved in trading.
‎It is however an illegal activity and a trader found using insider information and the person who provided such information may be subject to regulatory scrutiny and face penalties that may involve large fines, seizing of all profit and the worst, prison time.

Those who actually do inside trading and share inside information with their own people are quite powerful people. Since they are powerful people, it is really difficult to think about who will take action against them. In the current situation we are in, insider trading is being considered normal by some powerful people, and there is no one to take action against them. We have seen many events in the crypto market recently, and hundreds of millions were taken out of the market by making trades at the right time just before those major market movements. So no one here could have taken such an accurate trade without insider information.

Something similar can also happen in crypto... insiders can inform outsiders that a large holder might exit and they need to sell their tokens quickly before the price becomes worthless. This situation is clearly detrimental to holders, as they are stuck with assets whose prices have plummeted, while others have already saved their funds, all thanks to this insider information.

However, this only occurs in the altcoin market, as altcoins are easier to manipulate and a few large holders can dominate, this significantly increases the chance of them exiting, leaving everyone with significant losses. In Bitcoin, you won't find these insiders because the Bitcoin market is much larger and decentralized, making it more difficult to manipulate.

There is insiders on almost ALL crypto deals and it's absurd. Whether it's DATs or project acquisition, there are always insiders and that's what make the current state of crypto to be super extractive and extremely pvp. A few days ago, Coinbase acquired  one of the products built by Tensor— an nft marketplaces on Solana. However, the acquisition was frontran by one of their employees that took advantage of the knowledge of an incoming acquisition and positioned himself in a sized position accordingly. This is just one of the very few known ones. It happens every time but people just don't do anything about it because then, you kill what's left of this market and invite full regulation for crypto which is something not a lot of people want.

The next question is how this information could have been leaked, since they should have been able to keep it secret to allow the coin they were building to thrive. I don't know if this has ever happened, and perhaps that's also why I've been less interested in investing in altcoins so far, even though I may have been involved in some before. Even if it had, there would be no transparency, and they likely intended to deceive altcoin holders about their ongoing project development efforts.

We often see large holders strategically entering and exiting the market in an attempt to manipulate the short term, as I believe it would be difficult for them to survive in the long term. Bitcoin is different because its market is much larger, and it's difficult to control its price in the long term; even with large holders it would never work especially in the long term.

personally i find this pretty difficult to achieve because by the time they say they have made a certain amount of profit it’s likely that the price might already be going down and i’m already too late and i will only be waiting in on a token that won’t rise anymore

Trading in stocks is very risky because high quality research is required to invest on good company. There are many companies which are looking good but actually they have nothing in that and people who are Investing in that are losing their money because they have no future plan and they want to use the money of their investors and investors are losing their money but some companies are reputable and these kind of companies need investment to grow and these could give you returns in the future. Trading cryptocurrency is also not easy because only small percent of the traders are successful who are doing the trade for the years and took important steps . Investors who buy stocks with incomplete proper research or blindly follow others often face losses.
