Yesterday, those bullish traders who were optimistic might all be waiting for the first Chinese regional token of a major exchange to go live for spot trading, hoping to make a quick profit from this wave of hype. However, the market moved in the opposite direction. This reflects a harsh reality — in the current market, the purpose of various cryptocurrencies is actually quite similar, which is to cut a piece of the pie.

Since 2025 until now, there has only been one real market trend, led by mainstream coins. As for altcoins? Don’t even mention it; most are still struggling in the mud.

Here, I have to mention those who are fully invested in altcoins. To hold such strong faith without wavering, waiting for the day to break even — honestly, how strong must their inner strength be? From another perspective, isn’t this also an inspiring psychological story? Persistence, patience, and not giving up — perhaps these are the most scarce qualities in crypto investing.

In simple terms, it's the incentive mechanism that has been messed up. In the triangle game between exchanges, project teams, and retail investors, everyone wants to cut others out, resulting in a deadlock where trust costs become infinitely high. The group holding full positions in the clone projects, rather than insisting, are more like being hostage to the lock-in effect and sunk costs—classic decision-making traps.

Full-position altcoin traders, I really can't hold on anymore. Are you still waiting for that dream of breaking even? Chasing hot topics with reverse operations—this move is truly brilliant. Who would have thought? Mainstream coins are leaving all others in the dust, and each altcoin is more tragic than the last. This is the reality. Waiting and holding on to the hope of breaking even... is it inspiring or self-deception? The tricks to cut leeks are getting deeper and deeper. Wake up, everyone. Actually, full-position altcoin trading is just gambling—the only chance to turn things around. A few successful reverse operations can be called luck; every time you miss the opportunity, it's time to reflect. Are those still holding on desperately? Is it faith? Or have they already lost the way back? New coins on exchanges are always bought by someone, and always someone gets cut. Persisting in waiting to break even... how much self-hypnosis does that require?

It's another reverse operation, I knew it would turn out like this. The guys who are fully invested in altcoins, how resilient must they be. The tactic of cutting leeks is becoming more and more familiar; while mainstream coins are still rising, altcoins are all dead. I really don't understand the mentality of stubbornly holding onto altcoins; isn't this just a gambler's mindset? Wait, does persistence really mean you can win? I'm starting to doubt more and more. Mainstream coins are leading this wave of market movement, while altcoins are all lying on the floor. Reverse operation is truly brilliant; even the bulls' faces are swollen. Talking about scarce quality, I think it's more about how big their gambling spirit is.

Brothers still holding full positions in altcoins and struggling to hold on, your mental resilience is truly remarkable. Cutting leeks and packaging it as an inspirational story, this routine is also top-notch. Reverse trading, I've been used to it for a long time. Persistence? In the crypto world, it’s more like being forced to play a bad hand to the end. Mainstream coins are all rising, while altcoins are still mining underground. This wave of hype is just an illusion; wake up, everyone. How much is faith worth? It’s better to cut losses promptly and be practical.

Holding onto altcoins while waiting to break even—how much self-deception does that take? --- The market was just that one wave; the bulls have all been harvested. Serves them right. --- What motivational story? Basically, just being trapped and pretending to be calm. --- When mainstream coins take off, altcoins are still sleeping in the basement. --- Wait and wait, until your hair turns white, altcoins are still stuck in the same place. --- Reverse trading has become the norm; this market is truly a feast for cutting leeks. --- Holding onto faith without letting go, is not as good as sleeping well with mainstream coins.
