Just a reminder—don't easily get involved with those scam projects. How volatile are these coins? A 30% fluctuation in a day is not unusual at all. The seemingly good opportunities are often just traps for chasing highs. When prices rise, you get greedy and buy in; when they fall, you panic and sell quickly, ultimately causing losses for retail investors with unstable mindsets. Instead of being tossed around by such intense volatility and having your mentality shattered, it's better to focus your energy on relatively mature coins. The biggest risk in trading isn't a bad market, but a broken mindset first.

Mindset is really harder to cultivate than skills.

I've said it before, altcoins are just harvesters. When they hit the daily limit, your eyes turn red. Mindset is much harder than skills; most people simply can't endure it. Chasing highs is the most exciting, cutting losses is the most painful, and the cycle leads to bankruptcy. That's right, don't think about getting rich overnight. Stable coins are the way to go. Losing your composure is even more painful than losing money. That's the truth.

I'm the kind of person who only understands after being scammed by a clone once Why didn't I think about the mentality when I chased in? Honestly, staying calm is the most important thing A 30% daily fluctuation is indeed scary, but I've seen more outrageous ones Having a mental breakdown is even more uncomfortable than losing money Not long ago, I got burned chasing high and had to cut my losses, and I still feel scared looking back Mature coins are definitely better, with less volatility and a more comfortable experience Shanzhai projects are just gambling and not worth it

Really, altcoins are just a mindset harvesting machine. Watching others make money makes you jealous, and in the end, you lose everything. Once you've taken a loss, there's no turning back. Choosing coins is less important than choosing the right mindset. A 30% fluctuation is like a roller coaster. Those chasing highs are just giving money to the whales. Mature coins are stable, but at least they won't revert to zero overnight. A shattered mindset is more deadly than a market crash—that's the truth.

A bloody lesson, chasing altcoins is like flipping on a gambler's table. --- 30% in one day? I've seen a 50% drop in an hour... really, don't touch it. --- Losing your mindset is even more painful than losing money, and that's true. --- Every time I think I can buy the dip, I end up being the bag holder. --- It looks like an opportunity, but it's actually a big pit waiting for you to jump in. --- Can someone really make money on altcoins, or is it all survivor bias? --- Mature coins are slow to recover, at least I can sleep peacefully. --- That's what they say, but when it really rises, who can resist chasing? --- The pain of cutting losses isn't the money, it's the regret. --- Losing your mindset first is the worst, just like I was last week.

Really, I've seen too many people get cut by scam coins That's right, having a shattered mentality is more painful than losing money 30% a day? I've seen even more exciting ones, some have gone to zero Instead of betting on those scam coins, it's better to steadily hold mainstream coins When your mentality collapses, everything is over. This is so true Shitcoins are just gambling; if you win, you say you have good judgment, if you lose, you blame luck I've been scammed once already, now I only deal with mainstream coins Honestly, those chasing high are all blinded by greed These project teams are just waiting to cut, retail investors keep rushing in, it's really time to wake up

I've been scammed by altcoins once before, a painful lesson. It's the temptation of overnight riches that is the most deadly; I simply can't resist. The mindset is truly crucial; you’re absolutely right. Chasing highs is really a common mistake among retail investors; I've done it too. It's safer to stick to mainstream coins and play it safe. A 30% fluctuation is nothing surprising anymore; it’s so刺激到怀疑人生. If you can't hold it, don't move; that's the hardest part. Every time I tell myself not to touch it, but I still get tempted. No matter how诱人 the project is, you must be clear that most are just割韭菜. You're right, mindset决定一切; I am a living example of the opposite.

just like hitting the wall at mile 20, these shitcoin dumps hit different. sprint traders get liquidated, marathon stackers accumulate. fundamentals > fomo every single time.
