After staying in the crypto world for a long time, you will gradually realize a reality — enthusiasm for small coins is actually cooled down by time, and the mainstream will always be the long-term path.
Just like in youth, dreaming of buying luxury cars and living in mansions, thinking that’s the mark of a winner in life; but when it’s time to actually afford them, that obsession fades. It’s not that the goals have changed, but your perspective and stage in life are different.
The evolution of the market also follows this logic. The era of全民参与 (全民参与) and copycat projects blooming everywhere is gone. The current approach is very clear: focus only on new narratives, stay away from outdated projects; chase only those with real liquidity and supported by stories. Even when sector rotations occur, they mainly involve opportunities around mainstream coins, not large-scale, comprehensive launches.
Ultimately, the final outcome for small coins is often just one — after hype, they return to the mainstream. Some enjoy chasing rhythm and excitement within them, and that’s fine; but to steadily complete this long race, it ultimately depends on those mainstream tracks with solid fundamentals and deep ecosystems. #BinanceABCs $BTC $BNB

Exactly right, as you get older, you don't want to bother with those small coins anymore. BTC is still BTC, it's very stable.

Haha, you're so right, the confession of an old hand. I used to be full of dreams of getting rich quick with small coins, and now I just want to hold onto BTC and sleep peacefully.

Well said, that's exactly how I've been burned before. I've chased too many scam coins, and now I just stick to mainstream ones, and my sleep quality has improved.
