I've seen too many tricks like this. A group of KOLs shouting about bottom-fishing and sharing bullish logic, but when the price really drops, they turn around and post that they had already sold. How many times have you heard this kind of excuse?
Basically, it's just rhetoric. By the time you chase in, they've already offloaded at the high points. The most classic phenomenon is—when all voices in the market are promoting that a certain coin will rise, that is precisely a danger signal. Because by then, the bagholders are already lining up, waiting for the last batch of retail investors to fill the pit.
Take ASTER as an example; this kind of story repeats itself. Coins that seem to be hotly discussed and appear to have consensus often hide the greatest risks. No one calls out at the bottom; instead, excitement only erupts at the top, and that's when you're caught. Don't be fooled by flashy gains and KOLs' copywriting. Truly smart investors never follow the crowd in cheering; instead, they quietly position themselves when everyone is bearish.

Well, surfing to the top only starts getting crazy. Isn't this the worst LP entry timing?

Tired of it, this wave of ASTER is a textbook-level scam to cut leeks.

It's so tiresome, that KOL routine has only a few tricks, shouting to buy the dip and then running away, so frustrating.

There are too many talkative players now. As soon as a KOL opens their mouth, I already know the outcome.
I see through that wave of ASTER clearly. The hotter it gets, the more dangerous it is. This is the rule.
I stopped believing their bullish articles a long time ago. Contrarian strategies tend to last longer.
When the crowd is excited, I usually sit back and watch the show. The real opportunity is at the bottom.

Alright, I've also seen that wave of ASTER. To be honest, it's just the same old routine... I'm used to it already.

I've heard this too many times, always the same routine. When KOLs call for a bottom buy-in, it's time to run; going against the trend is the way to survive.
