Most profitable companies now command nearly two-thirds of the entire market. Is this market concentration a sign of healthy consolidation or something to worry about?

This shift in capital distribution raises questions about market dynamics and where liquidity flows. When profitability becomes this concentrated among top performers, smaller players face pressure. The gap widens fast.

What does this mean for market participants? Fewer dominant forces shaping the direction, while the rest scramble for relevance. Worth monitoring how this concentration evolves.

This level of concentration is a bit frightening. The top players are eating the meat while the bottom ones are drinking the soup. Is there still a way out for small coins and small projects?

The Matthew Effect is becoming more and more obvious; the old saying of big fish eating small fish never goes out of style.

Eating meat at the head and drinking soup at the tail, this is the current situation... How can small coins survive?

The whole concept of capital centralization... has long been seen through. The game of big fish eating small fish will never end.

20% of companies take over two-thirds of the market profits... Isn't this just a disguised way of saying the winners take all? What are retail investors still playing at?

Honestly, two-thirds of the market is monopolized by the giants... This isn't healthy at all; it's a clear case of the Matthew Effect accelerating.
