Unpopular Opinion: Most Altcoins Are Useless ā And Trading? Just Financial Self-Sabotage š¤Æ
Iāve been in crypto for over 6 years, and Iāve seen the cycle too many times.
Letās call it what it is:
š Most altcoins are never coming back š 95% of traders are just gambling š Leverage is the fastest way to go broke slowly
If youāre still jumping from meme coin to meme coin or opening 25x longs every dip ā thatās not investing. Thatās just hoping for a miracle while bleeding money.
The market doesnāt care about your āTA,ā your favorite influencer, or your bag from 2021. It moves how it wants.
Hereās what actually works (and itās boring, I know): ā Stack BTC, ETH, maybe SOL ā Buy at good levels, not during hype ā Be patient when everyone else is panicking ā Take profits ā not screenshots for clout
You donāt need 30 coins in your portfolio. You donāt need to ape into every new launch. You need patience, discipline, and a reality check.
Most people wonāt like this post ā and thatās okay. But if youāve been in this space long enough⦠you know Iām not lying.

6 Years in Crypto, Thousands Lost ā Hereās What Finally Made Me Profitable šø
Let me be real with you. Iāve been in crypto for over 6 years. Tried everything futures, scalping, spot trading, chasing pumps, cutting losses. Thought I could beat the market.
Spoiler: I couldnāt.
š„ Truth is: 95% of people lose money trying to trade. I was one of them.
After burning through more capital than I want to admit, I finally stopped trying to outsmart the market. And hereās what actually worked:
š Long-term investing. No stress. No FOMO. Just buying on solid levels and letting the market do its thing.
My strategy now is simple: ⢠65% $BTC ā The foundation ⢠20% $ETH ā The engine of Web3 ⢠15% $SOL ā Fast, scalable, and backed by real development
ā I only buy on solid levels ā I avoid hype coins completely ā I take profits when Iām up 50ā100% ā No leverage. No sleepless nights.
Honestly, crypto is still the only space where regular people can turn patience into a 10x return. But not if youāre treating it like a casino.
If youāre struggling in this market, ask yourself: Are you trying to trade your way out, or are you investing with a plan?
That shift in mindset changed everything for me. Maybe it will for you too.
