Looking at Ethereum at 3150, I started to get conflicted again—late at night, I came across an old news story titled "Buying Coins Gets You Sent to a Mental Hospital," and I realized this feeling isn't unfamiliar.

Thinking back, I once made six figures on SHIB. At that time, I sold half, and the remaining half has been holding on until now, almost gone. How great would it have been if I had just held on from the start? This lesson keeps me optimistic about SHIB and PEPE—although Bitcoin and Ethereum are relatively stable, ordinary retail investors really have to rely on these smaller coins to chase gains.

The market is volatile, but opportunities are also hidden within the fluctuations. If you're unsure what to buy, why not try dollar-cost averaging into SHIB and PEPE, waiting for the wind to come. Additionally, there's a Meme coin listed on multiple mainstream blockchains that has been performing relatively steadily recently; it's worth keeping an eye on.

Honestly, in this market, everyone is looking for the next breakout point. Which potential Meme coins are on your watchlist? Share your ideas.

ETH-0,12%

SHIB-0,77%

PEPE-0,71%

BTC1,21%

Wow, what a lesson SHIB has taught us—half of it is gone, and I feel for you. Not being able to hold might be a technical issue. Dollar-cost averaging on these two might actually be worth a try. Meme coins rely on betting on popularity. At the 3150 level, it might take a month or two of fluctuation before there's a chance.

6-figure loss, gone completely—this is the life of holding coins --- Another round of SHIB and PEPE, feels like the same story every time --- Waiting for the wind? Better to wait for the account to recover first --- Why are you still reciting the SHIB scriptures? Should have cut losses long ago --- DCA in batches feels comfortable, but when the loss is big, it’s all the same --- The jokes from the mental hospital do sting, but this is the crypto world --- What are you doing with 3150? Might as well go gamble on meme coins, right? --- What’s the mindset of those still holding? Asking for a science-based explanation --- Multi-chain meme coins are back again, always feel like the套路 is similar

Six digits are gone now, that's what you get for gambling too aggressively haha Wait, what's the name of that multi-chain Meme coin? I've been looking for a stable one recently Thinking about these things in the middle of the night, I'll definitely be the bag holder again tomorrow SHIB should have been held tightly from the start, what are you still regretting now Regular retail investors don't gamble on small coins, how else can they turn things around, right? ETH at 3150, I'm actually a bit scared now Your phased dollar-cost averaging strategy is good, but I'm worried I can't stick to it Honestly, it's a mindset issue; earning six figures makes it even harder to return to normal Who can predict the next breakout point? Anyway, I can't keep up with the rhythm If I could really hold and not sell, I would have achieved financial freedom long ago, what a pity

Oh no, these 6-figure regrets are really incredible. If I had that experience, I probably would still be regretting now. That wave of SHIB was indeed fierce, but still wanting to turn things around now? Honestly, it's a bit difficult. DCA into Meme coins sounds easy, but how many can really withstand the bear market? Wait for the wind to come? Even if the wind comes, you'll still be eating dirt. Why are you still hesitating over the 3150 ETH? You really should learn to cut losses, brother.

Damn, this is me. After making a killing with SHIB, I lost it all again... Now I just want to gamble on everything I see. --- Waiting for the wind? Bro, I’ve been waiting for the limit-downs, might as well go all in directly. --- People say it’s smart to invest in installments, but really, it’s just being stunned by the dip. I get it. --- Six figures are gone, the mental journey must be torturous... But honestly, I really can’t part with these kinds of coins. --- Hey, what’s that multi-chain Meme coin that just launched? Can you explain clearly or do I have to look it up myself? --- That joke about the mental hospital really hits home. Who hasn’t experienced the despair of watching the market at 3 a.m.? --- PEPE and SHIB have both reached their peaks. Still daring to go all in? You’re a true warrior. I’m too scared. --- Small coins are all about that fierce attitude, but the premise is having deep pockets... Ordinary retail investors can only play one or two rounds before they’re eating noodles. --- Honestly, most of those still lurking in meme projects these days are losers. But how can you make money if you don’t lose? --- The phrase “invest in installments” sounds very steady, but really, it’s just gambling whether the market will turn again.

Losing a six-figure amount really hurts, SHIB's wave was indeed regrettable --- Holding it just slips away, meme coins are really about gambling on human nature --- ETH is fluctuating here, I’m actually waiting for the next SHIB to appear --- Not being able to hold is truly a common problem among retail investors, that hits hard --- I took a look at PEPE, and I feel like I’m still on the sidelines. What do you guys think? --- The meme about the mental hospital is hilarious, a true reflection of retail investors in the crypto world haha --- DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) sounds good, but I’m just worried about still getting cut during the process --- This market trend, lying down and holding BTC is actually more stable, but it’s really boring --- Small coins can bring big gains or big losses, choosing any meme coin is basically gambling --- Can someone share about multi-chain meme coins? I haven’t heard of them before
