The current market reality is harsh, but it must be recognized: the logic of capital selection has changed.
The institution-led market only recognizes two types of coins:
✓ Those with real applications (like ETH, SOL)
✓ Those with strong whale control (like WIF, BONK)
The other 90% of altcoins will only become more marginalized.
A typical death spiral, you hold onto a "potential coin" for three months without any increase.
Finally, unable to resist, you switch to chase the hot trend, and just as you cut your losses, it suddenly spikes 30%.
The trend you chased starts to correct; this is the script where most people lose money.
Every week, positions are eliminated:
Those that fall out of the top 100 in trading volume.
Those that have seen a decline in Twitter/GitHub activity for two consecutive weeks and underperform BTC.
Only two types of coins are retained:
The top 20 coins with the highest weekly gains that show clear signs of whale activities.
The top 50 coins by market cap account for 82% of the capital, while the remaining 8,000+ coins split 18% of the capital. This is not being heartless, but recognizing reality—bull markets are not charity, efficiency is king.
