The overall market is slightly better, and project teams are eager to list tokens. Recently, the frequency of new listings has significantly increased, which on one hand indicates that the market is indeed improving, and on the other hand, it also means that even in a bull market, altcoins will still attempt to aggressively siphon blood. Anyway, for altcoins, especially newly listed high-market-cap tokens, everyone should be very cautious about buying casually, and definitely avoid having any so-called faith in long-term value investing.
How to determine if a market coin has certain value? I have a logical criterion, which is whether it has been thoroughly validated by the market. Take Bitcoin as an example: after seventeen or eighteen years, its price has increased by tens of thousands of times. Basically, no matter when you buy, you won't be trapped, which is a strong proof of thorough market validation.
The same applies to other altcoins. For a newly launched project, no matter how impressive your hype is, it hasn't been thoroughly validated by the market. So why should we believe you're a high-quality target? Moreover, there are so many projects in the market, and many teams are working hard to make a difference. But just like startups, the failure rate is very high, so don't believe in the so-called vision and future market expectations claimed by project teams. Honestly, compared to the stock market, it’s much easier to hold a coin in the crypto space, but there are also too many bad projects out there.
Talking about the market, after rising yesterday, there hasn't been much of a pullback, which is understandable and indicates that the overall trend is still quite strong. The simplest way to judge the market is to look at Bitcoin: after stabilizing above 90,000, it has been trying to push higher, and MicroStrategy continues to buy.
