There have been many recent news about the spot listing of a certain popular coin project, but to be honest, the anticipation has already decreased significantly. I cleared all my holdings yesterday. Why? Because similar projects in the past performed poorly immediately after launch, with market capitalization dropping from the highest point to around 65M. Such phenomena are not uncommon in the market. According to the herd mentality, new projects often reference the performance of existing projects as a benchmark—since the previous projects experienced such large declines after launch, it’s unlikely that new projects can escape the same fate. It wouldn’t be surprising if they get cut in half right after listing. That’s why early investors often choose to take profits just before the launch. The market is always repeating the same story.

No, I've been tired of this routine for a long time. The script is always the same, it's really boring. --- Just sell everything off, anyway it will dump after launch. I'm used to it. --- The term "herd mentality" is used perfectly; it's just a group of people following the trend to buy in. --- Wait, what was that 65M project you mentioned? I don't have any impression of it. --- Basically, the retail investors haven't learned to be smart; they should have known to run early. --- I think, now the risk of launching new coins is much higher than before, there's no investment value. --- It's another case of launching and then getting cut in half; how many times have you heard this excuse? --- Smart people have already left, and what's left are just the ones catching the last ride.

It's better to clear your positions early for better sleep quality. I also looked at the benchmark chart for the 65M one, and the technicals are a disaster. --- Backtest data shows that projects like this have an 82% chance of crashing within 72 hours of launch, but I still can't help but want to buy the dip. --- Basically, it's a gamble on who runs faster. I've bet on projects getting cut in half immediately after launch too many times and I'm numb to it. --- On-chain data shows that big whales are dumping again today. We retail investors are just waiting to be harvested, we're used to it. --- I missed the eye of the storm in the previous project, and I don't expect to catch it this time either. Getting out early is indeed a wise move. --- The market is never fresh; it always cycles through the same routines. Knowing the truth but still choosing to buy in—that's the gambler's fate. --- Based on risk factors, the failure rate of this round of launches won't be lower than previous ones. But to be honest, some people, including me, will still FOMO in.

Selling off completely is true; this wave of new investors is too many. Immediate halving upon launch has become the norm; who still dares to take over? The herd mentality is spot on; the market relies on this cycle. Those who bought in the morning made a killing, while us latecomers... History always repeats itself, but we never learn our lessons.

Here we go again, history always repeats itself, I've seen through it long ago. --- Listing and immediately halting trading, I've seen this script too many times, really. --- Clearing out positions is the right move, this wave is definitely another trick to trap the little guys. --- The herd mentality is well explained, it's just a bunch of people blindly following the trend, serves them right. --- Really, those who ran early made a profit, those who stayed are just waiting to be cut. --- The market is like this, nothing new, repeating the same stories over and over.

This is the old routine again, I’ve seen too many cases of it breaking below price right after launch. Had I known earlier, I would have just sold before the launch. Why wait to be hammered down? But on the other hand, those who go all-in at this point are probably a bit crazy.
