Which scenario plays out more often in this market?

One: altcoins stage a massive rally and retail investors cash in big—everyone goes home happy and rich.

Or two: Bitcoin pulls back toward 86k, panic selling takes over, and a wave of over-leveraged traders get completely liquidated. The dream ends fast.

Yeah, that second one tends to be the pattern. Most get shaken out before the real moves happen.

Here we go again, this wave is definitely the same old trick of cutting leeks.

Oh no, this is reality... Watching others make huge profits every day, and before I even realize it, I've been liquidated.

It's a classic case of "pattern recognition failure." Scenario two is the fate of the retail investors. After enjoying leverage, you're left with a pile of blood-stained chips. The dream of bottom-fishing is wiped out before it even begins, drowned by a wave of decline.

Oh no, here we go again? It's always the same script—leverage traders losing everything, and we're just watching the show.

Really, it's always the same trick... leverage traders simply can't hold up.

yeah, seen this play out enough times to know which way the wind blows. leverage is a slashing risk waiting to happen—most don't have the battle-tested discipline to hold through the volatility. network resilience separates the hodlers from the liquidated tbh

Hmm... it's the same old trick again. Leverage traders always have to pay tuition fees.
