As a seasoned crypto analyst who has been through ups and downs for 5 years and encountered countless pitfalls, let me explain in plain language to newbies: the truth behind why altcoins can't rise is not 'lack of funds', but rather that you are still viewing the current market with the outdated perspective of 2021!
Stop comforting yourself with 'the funds will come and then it will rise'! The core reason why altcoins can't rise boils down to two painful facts:
First, the 'air coins' without innovation have long been disregarded! The era of 'drawing a pie and spinning a story to take off' in 2021 is already an old tale! Nowadays, small coins either copy white papers or have teams hiding behind the scenes without showing their faces, and there isn't even a legitimate business operation. They neither solve real problems nor have a stable user base, so who would be willing to invest real money? After all, today's investors are no longer the gullible ones who 'dig into their pockets just for a story'!
Secondly, the early pricing is absurd, leaving ordinary people with no profit space! After 2021, many institutions inflated the early prices of small coins to the sky, marking them with valuations in the tens of billions as soon as they went live. This means that when ordinary people rush in, they are already in the position of 'bag holders', with no room for subsequent price increases. Not dropping is already good enough—want to make money? That's pure dreaming!
What's even more heartbreaking is that the cryptocurrency world has long changed— the head effect is becoming more pronounced, with funds all rushing towards big projects! The top 10% of leading targets capture 90% of the market's funding attention, just like the top students in class who always command the teacher's (funding's) attention. Those without background or business, the small clones, have long been forgotten by the funds in the corner, with no qualification for speculation, only able to lay low at low positions.
Moreover, the project parties are quite savvy! In the past, they would spend some money to create momentum, but now they have it all figured out: as soon as prices rise, some people start dumping to cash out. Not only can you not make money from creating momentum, but you might also get caught in it yourself! So now, many small cryptocurrencies crash right after they go live, without even completing a full speculation cycle. Newbies jumping in are just the bag holders, with no place to cry!
But don't think all altcoins are dead! As a seasoned player, I can guarantee: the altcoins that can survive and still rise are concentrated in three 'hard tracks': one is for 'real asset connection' (those who understand know its actual value backing); two are those with real payment scenarios that can be implemented; three are platform tokens issued by leading trading platforms. These targets have genuine business and funding backing, which gives them the potential to rise against the trend, while others that purely rely on storytelling as 'air coins' should have long been discarded!
Finally, here are three 'life-saving rules' for newbies: if you can't remember them, don't touch altcoins! This is the painful experience I summarized after losing hundreds of thousands:
Short-term is king, quick in and out! The market for altcoins is like a shooting star; it shines brightly for just a moment. Make your profit and run; don't hesitate to sell—lingering on will only lead to complete loss!
The vision must be sharp, and the execution must be ruthless! Never touch projects that you haven't thoroughly researched; once you identify a promising track and target, act decisively—delay for even a moment, and you will lose your chance!
Be patient and wait for the wind, but don't follow the crowd blindly! When the next round of market easing comes, competition will be fiercer. If you don't understand the project's logic and can't distinguish between true and false narratives, even if the wind blows, you'll just be tossed around!
To be honest, altcoins are not unplayable, but they are definitely not a 'cash machine' for newbies; instead, they are a 'sieve' that filters out those who are mindless, impatient, and unstudied!
