**Smart Money vs. Hopium: Why Dead Cat Bounces Rarely Work**
When a coin crashes hard, newbies rush to buy the dip, dreaming of a quick rebound. But seasoned traders know better.
### Here’s the reality:
- **Smart money avoids dead projects**—whales and institutions rarely gamble on failed rebounds.
- **Most crashed coins never recover**—they bleed out while bagholders wait for a miracle.
- **Hope isn’t a strategy**—emotional trading leads to losses; logic and discipline don’t.
If you’re waiting for a dead coin to pump back to your entry, ask yourself: *Would a whale touch this?* If the answer is no, neither should you.
Stay sharp. Trade smart.
