Low market cap small coins, do you dare to touch them? Projects with a market cap of only a few hundred million can artificially surge by 50% in the short term, with fluctuations of around 20% in just fifteen minutes. Many people see this kind of market and go all-in with leverage, only to end up losing everything.

Honestly, these types of coins are basically the private playgrounds of manipulators. They can freely control the market, dump coins at will, and are completely unconstrained by market rationality. If you didn't buy at low levels or missed the manipulator's rhythm, the chance of being "cut" is nearly 100%. For the vast majority of retail investors, participating in this game carries far greater risks than rewards. Instead of gambling on luck, it's better to focus on mainstream coins with solid fundamentals and sufficient liquidity.

Leveraged positions fully pushed in are all gone; I've seen too many cases like that. Small altcoins are just the casino machines for the whales; retail investors just end up giving away their money. Timing the market is too difficult; it's better to stick with mainstream coins for more stability. These fluctuations look exciting, but losing money is even more thrilling... a bloody lesson. The ones truly making money are quietly accumulating mainstream coins, not blindly throwing money at trending opportunities.

Maxing out the leverage and rushing in is just asking for death. My friend lost so much he vomited blood.

Using full leverage on small coins—what else could it be if not being a rookie?

Leverage to the max and rush in... Really, every time someone loses everything, still dreaming in the fantasy manufacturing industry.

Leverage full position to chase small coins? That's just giving money to the whales. I've seen too many such naive investors. Really, low liquidity is a trap; a 50% drop in 20 minutes is common. Small coins are just gambling; don't deceive yourself into thinking it's investing. Trying to hit the right rhythm? Laughs. Retail investors can never get it right, wake up. Instead of playing this deadly game, it's better to go all in on mainstream coins, at least you won't be liquidated instantly. My painful lessons: never touch things with a market cap of hundreds of millions. Can small coin speculation make money? It's just a low-probability event; most are waiting to die. Whales can dump their coins so quickly that you can't react, and losses happen super fast. It's better to be honest and hold mainstream coins; these small projects are just tools for harvesting. A 20% fluctuation in fifteen minutes—watch your heartbeat race, and in the end, you'll lose everything.

Leverage to the max and rush in? Isn't that just giving money to the market makers? I've seen too many such "warriors" with my own eyes. --- Fifteen minutes of 20% volatility, sounds exciting but is actually a death trap. --- Really, small coins are just a meat grinder, with such poor liquidity that you can't even get out. --- Buying in at a low point and timing it right? The probability is probably lower than winning the lottery... --- The rookie traders have learned their lesson; from now on, they'll play it safe with mainstream coins. --- Jealous of a 50% increase, rushing in and getting cut off, a bloody lesson learned. --- Basically, it's a casino; the market makers are always the winners.
