The market is so hot, but the returns vary greatly. Some have already made millions, while others have been in the lows for over two weeks. Why is there such a big difference?

Looking at the gains of mainstream coins and then at those slower-performing assets in your portfolio, your mindset can become somewhat unstable. It really comes down to choosing the right coins to earn big, and making the wrong choices can leave you struggling at the subsistence level. The difference is not just about timing, but more about grasping the rhythm.

The question is: how long can this wave of the market last? When will a correction come? Will the performance trends across different sectors be the same? These questions are on my mind, making me both excited and anxious.

This is Schrödinger's bull market—cryptos are rising, but yours hasn't moved. So, is it really going up or not? Honestly, it's a supply and demand curve issue. Mainstream coins have already been bought up by institutions, and you're still studying the aesthetic value of small coins. Two weeks of loss isn't a big deal; the problem is you don't understand what "sense of rhythm" really means—this thing is even more esoteric than candlestick charts. I bet this wave can go crazy for another three months, but the ceiling is different for each track. Don't expect all coins to multiply by 10. It sounds just like playing roulette in a casino—winners brag, losers blame the system, but in reality, it's all a game of probability.

Uh, this is a gambling mentality issue, right? Talking about rhythm control is actually all armchair quarterbacking after the fact. If I had known it would rise, I would have gone all-in on mainstream coins. The key is, who the hell knows which one will take off? This round of the market is indeed a bit crazy, but I think a correction is coming... However, I've said this countless times before, haha. Choosing coins is like choosing a wife. If you pick the right one, you win effortlessly; if you pick the wrong one, you have to endure a lifetime of "I knew it."

yo the opportunity cost of picking the wrong horse hits different when you're watching others print... it's not even timing tbh, it's about capital utilization efficiency

honestly the timing argument is just cope... you either understand the protocol mechanics or you don't. most people chasing the pump have zero idea what they're actually holding, that's the real differentiator ngl

Handshake, I also chose the wrong batch If I had known earlier, I would have gone all in on the mainstream, now I regret it to death Who really knows how far this wave can go The trash coins in my hands really drag down my mentality Timing is easy to talk about, but it takes a life to do it

Holding on to those trash coins really hurts, watching others double while I’m still at a loss Choosing coins is really harder than choosing a husband, one wrong step and everything goes wrong Mainstream coins are skyrocketing, my coins are sleeping, it's just ridiculous Who knows how long this wave can last, anyway I’m too scared to move The sector rotation thing is really hard to understand, feels like any coin can skyrocket or crash Timing? I haven’t even figured out the rhythm Others already got on the train while I’m still at the station, so unlucky Looks like I need to learn to cut losses, or I’ll really be crying at the bottom The market is so fierce that I’ve become even more timid, afraid of catching a falling knife Brothers still losing after two weeks, hang in there, how strong must your mentality be

This is the distance between the chosen ones and the leeks. --- Watching others make millions, I've been so depressed these two weeks that I feel numb. --- Honestly, it's still about choosing the right track. I feel like I've been sabotaged by myself. --- Jump in? Bro, I just want to protect my principal first. --- Bitcoin is taking off, but my small coins are still sleeping. --- Timing? I didn't even keep up with the beat. --- If this market pulls back, can someone notify me in advance so I can buy the dip in time? --- Some people have long laid back counting money, and I'm still figuring out when to run. --- Why is the gap so big? It feels like I'm not playing in the same market. --- The problem is, when can I catch that fast train?

If I had known earlier, I would have gone all in on those leading stocks. Now I'm extremely regretful. Choosing coins is really a mystery; while others are doubling their investments at the same time, I'm still stuck in the same place. Can this wave still go up, brothers? It feels a bit fake. It's really just luck, there's not much technical skill involved. The track rotation is so fast that I can't keep up. I'm exhausted, my eyes hurt watching the gains. Can anyone tell me when to get on and when to get off?
