Newbies are superstitious about the 'Leading Coin', while veterans layout 'Forks' and 'Overflows'
Newbies always chase the market, pursuing the 'Leading Coin' when BTC rises, then chasing ETH when ETH rises, and then SOL.
But veterans tend to avoid high-priced leaders and instead invest in two types of coins: leading forks and narrative overflow coins.
Why?
Because the 'Leading Coin' is just a narrative ignition point; the real profits often overflow into the following two categories:
1. Fork Coins/Imitation Coins: When the leader's price increases too much, retail investors become hesitant to chase and will look for the cheaper 'next one'. For example, BTC drives BCH, and ORDI drives DOGI;
2. Narrative Overflow Targets: When the mainline is too hot, funds naturally seek out more cost-effective secondary teams. For instance, when AI rises to a high level, lower market cap AI coins will simultaneously surge.
Veterans excel at layout: 'It's not about buying the leader, but ambushing the 'Hype Coins' behind the leader.'
They don't chase; instead, they anticipate the 'next round of emotional transmission chain'.
Even when KOLs and influential figures uniformly retweet the 'Leading Coin', they have already quietly shifted to the 'Child of the Leader'.
Remember, in the crypto circle, it's never about buying the strongest, but about buying what can easily be mistaken for the strongest.
Trading coins is not about beauty contests, but about picking the next hotspot imitator.
