Have you noticed a phenomenon—people in the crypto circle chasing new coins are more passionate than old men fighting for discounted eggs at the market. Even more heartbreaking is that after losing money on a new coin last time, the next opportunity comes and they still rush in like sleepwalking. Is this obsession or is there really a trick?

I've been in this circle for 8 years and have seen too many stories. Today, I want to share the most core rule: when choosing coins, first look at liquidity, then at the upward and downward momentum, and finally see if you can walk away completely.

Many people make the same mistake—going straight for "new coins" from the start.

nah, the liquidity angle is where people sleep on the real tells. traced a few of these "hot new tokens" through multiple wallet clusters last month—suspicious activity detected on like 80% of them. transaction patterns screamed artificial momentum tbh.

Haha, it's really incredible—like that feeling last time when I was trapped but still kept pushing in. I've been through it too. You're right about liquidity, but honestly, most people don't understand it and don't want to look. New coins are just a gamble; everyone knows it, but some still jump in. Wait, you said "walk away completely" is the hardest part, right? How many people can walk away completely from this wave of market? It's really just greed at play, with no real pattern.

Oh wow, isn't this the group of people I see every day? Sleepwalking into new coins, there's really no hope. I've already said that the liquidity strategy is useless, but no one listens, and they insist on holding a bunch of trash coins. Honestly, it's greed. Greed until there's nothing left. Walking away unscathed? Dream on. Most people can't even get their foot out of the door.

Hey, the liquidity part is okay, but after 8 years you're still talking about "walking away completely"... Isn't that just another way of saying gambler's mentality?

Yeah, the enthusiasm for chasing new coins is really crazy... I’ve suffered from this myself, honestly, when it comes to liquidity, that’s really the real threshold. You’re right, only those who can walk away unscathed are the winners; everything else is pointless.
