There is an interesting phenomenon in the crypto world: when the market generally reaches a consensus that a certain coin is about to explode, a new hot topic always emerges quickly, drawing away funds. The rotation pattern of funds between various blockchains is very obvious—before the hot money from the previous trend cools down, a new project has already started its siphoning mode. Especially in certain ecosystems, this rapid flow of funds and hot topic rotation happens even faster. Investors often haven't even reacted before they realize their attention has been attracted by the next wave of hot topics. This phenomenon actually reflects the essence of market chasing new trends and hot topics—there are always new stories and opportunities grabbing attention, and the consensus of yesterday often becomes dull and insignificant by today.

attention span of a goldfish meets the rotting narrative arc of a ponzi scheme... capital's gotta flow somewhere, right? the consensus dies faster than my faith in utility tokens

Really, it's just one scheme after another to wipe out retail investors --- Ha, the coin that was hyped yesterday is already trash today? That's the crypto world for you --- Fund rotation is nothing but the big players taking from retail investors, nothing new --- Chasing hot topics always results in losses, I've seen through it --- That's why I cleared my positions early, it's too exhausting --- You never know where the next trap is, better stick with stablecoins --- Basically, it's a game of musical chairs; the last to take the bait can cry all they want --- I'm just waiting to see who gets caught again haha

Yeah, this is a game of capital. Those who run slow get harvested. Chasing the hot trend until dizzy, thinking you're a seasoned driver. Consensus is bullshit; today's certainty becomes tomorrow's joke. The ones making money are those who bought the dip; everyone else is just catching the bag. It's all just rotation; in the end, it all comes back to yourself. This new hot spot is here again; yesterday's coins are already ignored. Basically, it's a pump-and-dump game by the whales—whoever catches the last wave is doomed. Fast capital flow is quick, but my money flows even faster... outwards. It looks lively, but it's just a game of musical chairs. You can never catch up; you're always one step behind.

Here are 5 comments with different styles: 1. Really, in the blink of an eye, I got cut, and I can never catch the next train. 2. That's why I gave up chasing hot topics; my mindset is much better now. 3. Can someone tell me how to avoid being harvested? Please share your experience. 4. I always want to hold steady, but I end up being blinded by FOMO. 5. To put it simply, the big players are playing hot potato, and we're all the ones holding the bag.

Haha, got cut again, never able to catch up with the trend Funds rotate so quickly that retail investors can't keep up at all Yesterday said it would definitely rise, today the hot spots are gone and so are the people Really, am I the only one trapped, feels like everyone is making money This is the crypto world, those chasing the new are always the last to take the fall Every time they say this time is different, but the same old tricks happen again Can't even play it safe, if you don't trade you miss out, if you trade you get cut out
