The recent surge in those hotly discussed projects in the market has indeed been outrageous, but the underlying tricks are becoming more and more obvious. I hear that many big funds and opinion leaders have already quietly liquidated their positions, having eaten the gains they deserved and drunk the soup they wanted, then turning around and leaving. What about the remaining ones? They are just a bunch of retail investors who bought at high prices, with accounts full of trapped positions.

This is why I increasingly believe in a certain logic: rather than chasing those tempting but risky surges, it's better to find projects with a real team continuously building. No panic selling by market makers, no hype from big influencers, and no false prosperity. There are only step-by-step technological iterations, ecosystem improvements, and a group of people who truly believe in this thing working together.

Although the profits from this approach are slower, they are more solid. A stable mindset and good sleep quality. In the highly volatile cryptocurrency market, being able to persist and stay calm already means winning over most people.

That's right, I'm doing it this way now, taking it slow is actually faster. I'm afraid of getting cut, now I just look at the fundamentals and whether the team is reliable. Honestly, when big V influencers call out trades, I’ve already muted them, it’s more peaceful. Me too, I’d rather miss out on ten times the profit than get trapped. My sleep quality has indeed improved. This time I see clearly, those chasing the rise are the ones catching the last wave. Construction projects are the real deal, even though it’s not as fun, it’s more solid. Agreed, mainly because the mindset has changed. In the past, chasing high would mean getting cut every day.

That's right, that's exactly what I do. --- It's the same old story, big players eat the meat while retail investors drink the soup, and then? Bankruptcy. --- Doing projects quietly is really rewarding; you don't need to watch the K-line every day to avoid losing your mind. --- I'm already tired of those signal callers; I turned around and bought construction-related projects. --- Persistence is the key to winning; there's nothing wrong with that statement. --- Being trapped is too common; who can we blame? --- Compared to those scythes, I prefer to earn money slowly. --- A reliable team is more important than rapid gains, right? --- Retail investors keep chasing when clearing out, it’s always like this. --- I agree that good sleep can really save on medical expenses.

You're absolutely right. I've seen through this scheme a long time ago. It's really better to find those who build quietly. Watching others get rich overnight every day makes me tempted, but in the end, we are the ones who suffer huge losses. Instead of chasing the rise, it's better to hold on to something reliable and earn slowly. Big players eat the meat and drink the soup and then run, leaving us retail investors trapped and numb. This is the right path. Don't be constantly driven by FOMO; your sleep quality can really improve a lot. Those who have already sold out have long since run, and those still shouting are just nonsense.

That's very true, but we all know that in reality, there are always more people chasing hot topics than those looking for solid projects. Damn it, big funds finish eating the meat and walk away, while retail investors are left trapped, still trying to buy the dip. I've only understood after experiencing it a few times—earning slowly is really more enjoyable than chasing after price surges and limit downs. Every time I see those big V influencers calling signals, I just want to laugh. They've already run away long ago but are still fooling people. This point about sleep quality really hits home; not watching the market makes me feel much better. Finding a project with actual development is much more reassuring. Although the returns aren't as exciting, it's stable.

Wake up, another wave of newbies has been harvested A bloody lesson, how many more people need to buy at high prices before they understand Earning slowly is indeed comfortable, but my problem is that I simply can't find such projects I thought the same last year, but I still got trapped in the end

Honestly, I'm already tired of this routine. I got caught twice last year, and now I only buy things if the team is actually doing real work. --- The group that was clearing out has long since run away, and we're retail investors still here taking the hit. --- That's reasonable. Stable returns are really much more comfortable than chasing after high gains, at least you can sleep peacefully. --- Watching big V call the shots every day, but in the end, I lost the most. You still have to rely on your own judgment. --- There are indeed fewer construction-type projects, but once you find one, it's a different story. Completely stable mindset. --- Uh, that’s a bit painful. I still hold a bunch of high-position trapped assets. --- This is the proper approach, but unfortunately most people can't learn it and have to chase false prosperity. --- Earning slowly is not shameful; it's much better than getting rich overnight and then getting wiped out in a night. --- Laughing to death, everyone keeps saying this, but the market still gets cut as usual. --- Finding a reliable construction team is really hard; most look like just another routine.

Honestly, making money slowly is way more satisfying than getting wiped out once. --- Really, I feel a bit sorry when I see those guys still chasing hot topics. --- Projects built steadily are the way to go; everything else is gambling. --- The point about sleep quality is spot on; my anxiety has improved. --- The problem is how to find projects that are truly working; that's the real challenge. --- Large-scale liquidators have already run away; those still rushing in are just cannon fodder. --- Compared to getting rich overnight, I care more about my account not being爆. --- That's why I only focus on projects with actual progress; I ignore the rest. --- It sounds good, but how many actually do it? Most are still hoping to get rich overnight. --- A stable mindset > huge profits, finally someone said it.
