Sure, crypto's probably the future. AI too. But here's the thing nobody wants to admit: your specific coin? That AI stock you're holding? Either one could still crash to zero.

We've seen this movie before. Back in the dot-com era, everyone knew the internet would change everything. They were right about that part. But knowing the future didn't save investors who bet on Yahoo, MySpace, or Webvan. Those companies? Toast.

The pattern's simple: revolutionary technology doesn't guarantee every player survives. Most won't. Betting on the trend is one thing. Betting on the right horse within that trend? Completely different game. You can believe in the revolution and still pick losers.

That's right, betting on the right direction and betting on the right project are really not the same thing.

I'm telling you, it's easy to bet on the right track, but hard to bet on the right project. So many people have failed here. --- The same tricks from the dot-com era are happening again now, seriously... Can't anyone learn? --- Believing in technology is useless—if you pick the wrong coin you'll still lose everything. That's the real truth. --- A revolution will come, but your coin may not survive until then... tragic. --- The most heartbreaking thing is, even if you see the trend correctly, it doesn't matter unless you choose the right asset. I feel like I've never gotten it right.

Betting on the right trend and betting on the right asset are really two different things... I'm a living example of that.

Another harsh reality... Faith in a sector does not equal faith in a token, and that's the most painful part. After experiencing so many times going to zero, I've realized that picking the wrong asset is even deadlier than choosing the wrong direction. Remember, staying clear-headed is most important when you're losing money. Basically, it's just betting on the same story with different assets, but only a few survive until the end. This round of decline is actually paving the way for the next rally—it's a good time to reorganize your portfolio structure. Those dot-com people also believed in the internet, so why did they still end up as cannon fodder... What we need is vision, not just conviction. A bear market shapes your mindset. My holdings are constantly being re-evaluated and adjusted at the bottom. Don't panic, the trend is right, but choosing the right sector is the real test. Rebirth is never achieved overnight—crossing cycles takes patience and wisdom.

ngl this is exactly why I look down on people who go all in on a single coin. Just because you pick the right trend doesn’t mean you can make money. --- How many people can really be awakened by the whole dot-com story... Most people still go all in as usual. --- Picking the right track is easy, but picking the right project? Ha, that’s just gambling. --- Belief can’t feed you, it’s that simple. --- Why do so many people fail to distinguish between “will win in the future” and “I can win”? --- A bunch of people are holding onto their hope coins, waiting for a turnaround, but in the end, they just go down with the ship. --- The revolution will come, but your coin might not make it. --- To put it bluntly, most projects are just paving the way for the top players. Stop deceiving yourself. --- How many people’s dreams did these words shatter?

NGL, this is too true, it's just that nobody wants to hear it... Picking the right sector doesn't mean the project you choose will succeed. Betting on the right trend and picking the right specific coin are two completely different things. Plenty of people lost everything during the dot-com wave too.

That's why I track wallet addresses all day long—because believing in a sector and betting on the winning project are two different things. --- The dot-com crowd also thought they were betting on the right internet wave, but look what happened—they vanished into thin air. Based on my analysis, this time is no different. --- What's interesting is that the whales have been reducing their positions for a while, while retail investors are still telling stories. --- Revolution doesn’t mean your coin will survive next year. In my opinion, that sums up the current situation. --- I just want to know how many people actually understand what they’re holding, or if they’re just chasing the “future technology” label. --- On-chain data shows it’s time to get out at the top, but the bystanders are always the last to know. --- Risk warning: Believing in the future doesn’t mean you should believe in the trash coin you’re holding—don’t confuse the two.
