The secrets to chasing coins are really just these

When bottom-fishing, focus on locking in the leading coins, don't bother with fringe tokens. The biggest source of losses is often not choosing the wrong main direction, but betting on small coins. Even if the leading coin is cut in half, the rebound potential and probability are still there; as for those small coins, there are many cases of direct zeroing out.

Peripheral strategies are okay, but you must maintain the right mindset — never chase high just to increase returns, and never leverage to recover losses. Knowing how to select targets within the leading camp is far more cost-effective than casting wide nets. The difference between seasoned traders and beginners lies in this strategic awareness.

There are indeed many cases of small coins being wiped out, but what I fear more are the chain liquidations that occur when seemingly stable industry leaders suddenly collapse... Once the health factor falls below the threshold, no matter how big the rebound potential is, it can't save you.

That's right, the small coins are too risky; I've seen too many go to zero directly.

That's true, but I've seen many brothers just can't control their hands and insist on touching those small coins, ending up going all-in and losing everything. The leading projects are indeed stable, but mindset is really more important than choosing the right coin. I said I wouldn't chase highs, but I still did. Over the years, the biggest losses haven't come from betting on the right direction, but from losing your mindset and adding leverage.

Exactly right, I’ve also lost money on small coins before. Back then, I almost invested all my funds in a worthless coin, but luckily I cut my losses in time. Otherwise, I’d probably be wandering now.

That's right, I lost faith in life because I was greedy for those small coins with hundredfold opportunities. The leader is just the leader, don't keep dreaming of hundredfold returns every day. Living is the real winner.

Major coins are indeed a safe choice, but I've seen too many people who understand this truth still choose to gamble on small coins... Greed. There have already been several cases of small coins going to zero overnight around me, yet some still go all out. Leverage to even out losses? That's a suicidal move. I really can't understand why some people still do it. Choosing carefully among leading projects is definitely better than casting a wide net, but execution is too difficult. Honestly, the concept of having a broad vision sounds simple, but in practice... many people simply can't control their restless hearts.

It's not wrong to say that it's just difficult to execute. The guy around me insisted on gambling on Shib doubling, and he ended up losing everything. — Watching people go all-in on small coins every day, I just laugh. The leading coin can survive even if it drops again, but a small coin can disappear with just one announcement. — Leveraging to recover losses is really a suicidal move; I've seen too many cases. — The mentality is really a hurdle, especially when watching others' small coins multiply tenfold. — I agree that not all small coins are worth bottom-fishing, but in reality, how many can actually hold their ground? — Basically, it's greed. Always wanting to hit a hundredfold. Actually, just holding the leading coin for a rebound is enough. — Choosing targeted investments is smarter than casting a wide net, but knowing and doing are two different things. — If only someone had told me these words during my beginner days, now it's a bit late. — Leading coins are indeed resistant to drops, but small coins and follow-the-market coins are just too wild. — "Pattern awareness," okay, some people have to lose everything to realize it.
