Altcoins are essentially a game of pass the parcel. Those who enter early make money, those who come in later get some soup, and the last batch? They just get the cold wind. But the problem is, almost everyone thinks they are the smart one who can get out of positions early.
The most terrifying thing is not stepping on a landmine, but rather stepping on it when you clearly see it. I have seen too many people holding onto a few thousand yuan worth of alts, staring at the market every day, more anxious than those playing with hundreds of thousands in stocks. This mindset is destined to lose from the very beginning.
My advice has always been simple: treat altcoins as either gambling, and accept the losses; or don't touch them at all. The worst are those who want to get rich overnight but are unwilling to cut losses. The market will never give you a second chance just because you are unwilling to accept the outcome.
The trend of FF is really typical - it was 0.6 on the first day of launch, and now it's directly at 0.1, a standard "peak right at the opening" case.
This is the classic insider trading harvesting play. Early holders get out of positions at high points, while retail investors frantically buy in around 0.6. Now, the price at 0.1 basically tells everyone: those previous pump-ups were just a show, and the real value discovery? It's only just beginning.
To put it bluntly, the token economic models of most projects are originally designed to allow early investors and the team to cash out at a high point. FF can drop from 0.6 to 0.1 either because the circulating supply pressure is too great or because the market completely does not buy into the project's fundamentals.
At this position, it is either a good opportunity to buy the dip or the starting point for further declines. The key is to see how many chips the project party still has that haven't been sold.

That's harsh, but this is the reality.
Another story of going from 0.6 to 0.1, a classic script.
After the early dump, they start talking about fundamentals, it's hilarious.

It's this trap again, I'm already tired of it.
Those who get out of positions first are laughing, while those who enter a position later are crying for help.
I just want to ask, who can really accurately predict the time to get out of positions?

From 0.6 to 0.1, a typical market maker whipsaw trap... retail investors are still struggling with whether to buy the dip.
Honestly, looking at this trend makes me sleepy; I have to wait until late at night to check the on-chain data.
Is someone with a few thousand dollars in coins more anxious than the holder? Then it's time to stop loss.
I've seen this kind of project many times; the token model has been a trap since its design.
The question is whether 0.1 is the real bottom or if it will continue to explore the bottom; it depends on how many chips the project party still has left... that's the key.
To put it bluntly, if you want to gamble, just gamble; don't put on a show of value investing, as the mindset is the first to collapse.

It’s the same old story of playing people for suckers again, FF's plummet is really something.
Human nature is greed; knowing it’s a pit, yet still jumping in. Who can we blame?
From 0.6 to 0.1, this is a lesson the retail investors got from the inner market. Have you paid your tuition?
I just want to know how many are still holding on, waiting for what?
To put it bluntly, it’s gambling; you have to recognize it before you dare to play.
The project party has long since pulled the rug, and we are still discussing buying the dip. It’s laughable.
This is the fate of altcoins, either get rich overnight or go into debt overnight.
I saw in the news that someone went all in again. Sigh, it’s really exhausting to comment on.
It feels like everyone getting on board now is just catching the last baton, with no exceptions.
Rather than waiting for a rebound, it’s better to reflect on why you always end up being the dumb buyer.

Those with a gambling mentality should go bankrupt, there's nothing more to say.
Those who entered early really made a fortune, but if you truly believe you're that smart person, then just wait to be played for a sucker.
From 0.6 to 0.1, this is reality, don't expect a rebound.
Want to get rich but afraid to stop loss? The market loves people like this.
What does this FF incident indicate? The project party never truly intended for retail investors to make money.
I see that those buying the dip now are just waiting to die.
Those who stare at the market every day are really mesmerized, playing with thousands like it's stocks.
The circulating supply hasn't been fully released yet, this bottom is still far away.
Rather than discussing the rebound, it's wiser to think about how to stop loss.
The last batch of those catching a falling knife should reflect on themselves.
