The Guide to Self-Rescue for Retail Investors that the Big Players Fear You Knowing

Do you find that every time you buy, the price drops, and every time you sell, it rises? This might not be bad luck, but a 'price trap' hidden in your brain. This trick, which has been overused by the big players, is called the 'anchoring effect'—we tend to use the first price we see as a benchmark, and all subsequent judgments revolve around this benchmark.

Here's a bloody example:

Old Wang enters the market at BTC 100,000, and when it drops to 85,000, he thinks, 'A 15% drop is too cheap.'

Little Li buys the bottom at 65,000, but when it rises to 85,000, he thinks, 'A 30% rise is too expensive.'

At the same price point, different people have drastically different judgments; this is the anchoring effect at work.

The big players have three main tactics for harvesting:

Anchor with a dream: A certain altcoin is first pumped to 150 USD. Once the retail investors remember this number, it is then slammed down to 100 USD. Those who rush in thinking it's '33% cheaper' have no idea that the project cost was only 3 USD.

Step anchor: When the price drops from 100 to 80 to 50 USD, the big players create the illusion of 'support levels' with each wave. Like boiling a frog in warm water, each 20% drop makes people think, 'It should rebound now,' resulting in repeated losses on the way down.

Comparative anchor: When BTC rises from 60,000 to 80,000, no one pays attention. But when it rushes up to 100,000 and then drops back to 80,000, everyone on the internet shouts 'buying opportunity.' The big players create price disparities, making retail investors see the second-highest point as a 'cheap price.'

The secret to breaking the trap is just one sentence: find the true value axis. Remember these four don'ts:

1. Don't look at the current price (it might be inflated by 10 times)

2. Don't look at the historical price (it’s drawn by the big players)

3. Don't look at the cost price (your buying price has nothing to do with the value of the coin)

4. Don't look at the price fluctuation (a rise from 1 to 2 does not equal a good buy)

Real valuable coins have 'hardcore indicators':

- For public chains, look at the ecosystem: just like assessing the foot traffic in a shopping mall, how many real transactions occur daily? How many developers are renovating their stores?

- For application coins, look at essential needs: is this coin as indispensable as utility bills? Is there a monthly user growth of over 20%?

- For platform coins, look at dividends: just like stock dividends, how much real cash can holders receive from the exchange each year?

The anti-fraud mantra that experts secretly use:

'Price fluctuations are just numbers; value is the destination. Forget your cost price, and ask yourself daily: If I were in cash right now, would I buy at this price?' $BTC #策略交易
