Chased one cycle after another, but each time I just missed out. I just bought a coin touted as the next dark horse, and before it even had a chance to rise, I got cut. Turned around and followed the trend to go all-in on a new hot spot, only to see a bunch of hyped-up stuff crash in my hands. Now there's a new concept coin emerging, and people around me are shouting about it again. Will this time really be different? Honestly, the market is like this—concepts rotate, and retail investors always end up holding the bag last. From one hot topic to another, from hope to disappointment, my wallet keeps getting thinner. This is the true picture of crypto investing: the cost of frequently following trends is being repeatedly educated by the market. To avoid getting cut, you need your own judgment, not blindly follow the hype and bet.

Really, chasing hot topics is just chasing your own wallet. It's always the same routine: the coins that are hyped up get dumped into your hands, and the more people follow, the bigger the loss. Retail investors' fate is to be the bag holders, nothing else. That's what they say, but next time I'll still follow the trend haha. Make your own judgment? Dream on, who can truly think independently? Instead of worrying about whether to follow or not, better ask yourself how much you can afford to lose.

This is just my blood and tears history, every time I only understand after being cut.

Getting cut again, huh? That's the price of following the trend.

According to the tokenomics model in the white paper, this is actually an age-old information asymmetry problem — retail investors are always at the bottom of the information chain, which is essentially an inevitable result of game theory equilibrium. From the data perspective, 95% of the followers are taking the last mile to buy in, and this has been repeatedly confirmed by on-chain data.

Basically, it's about chasing highs and getting trapped, with all your holdings being just weeds. --- Following the trend is really something you need to quit, or else your wallet will always be passively cut. --- Every time I think this time is different, but it turns out to be the same old tricks. --- The biggest enemy in the crypto world is that foolishly restless heart of yours. --- Instead of waiting for the next hot trend every day, it's better to first figure out what you're actually doing. --- Watching people around you boast makes you want to join, but in the end, everyone becomes the bagholder. Truly impressive. --- Having your own thoughts is more valuable than anything, but unfortunately, most people don't have that. --- Going all-in on new concept coins? Isn't that just another way of paying tuition fees. --- Jumping from hot topic to hot topic, your wallet keeps shrinking—this is the daily life of retail investors. --- Want to avoid being cut? Then don't keep refreshing those "must-rise coins" messages in the group every day.
