ZEC this coin is indeed interesting. I have witnessed it drop from over 500 to around 300, then rebound back to over 500. It seems that the price movements are very dramatic, but ironically, I haven't actually caught any of these swings.

For my short-term trading, such volatile coins are actually the most attractive. Why? It's simple—larger increases and decreases mean bigger spreads, and the spread is where arbitrage opportunities lie. Theoretically, it sounds perfect, but in practice, timing is another matter.

Speaking of GIGGLE, my story is even more heartbreaking. I encountered information about this coin early on through social media, but I didn't see through it at the time, so I never dared to act. Later, I watched it rise to a high point, then fall to 40, then get a big boost again, only to drop back down. Throughout the process, I was like a bystander, watching these fluctuations unfold. When I finally started trading GIGGLE, it had already experienced too many peaks and valleys, missing the best window of opportunity.

As for contract trading, I still don't dare to try it now. The main reason is quite practical—my capital isn't large enough, so the transaction fees take up a significant portion, and my skills are not yet refined. If I make a wrong judgment, I could easily lose my principal directly. So I set a bottom line for myself: preserving the principal is always the top priority. Without capital, there can be no talk of profits.

That's why I never chase highs; it’s really uncomfortable to watch. Wait, GIGGLE surged from 40, and you didn't copy a single one? That's just outrageous. Contracts are indeed tricky, with fees eating you alive. It's better to stick to spot trading honestly. Coins like ZEC really test your mentality; those who make money are always the ones willing to go all in. Honestly, it's just missing a decisive signal to make you act, otherwise you're always just a spectator.

Oh no, talking about GIGGLE makes me feel exhausted. I should have gotten on board earlier. Missing the best timing was truly heartbreaking. Looking back now, it's all just regret. I also didn't catch this round of ZEC market movement. No matter how big the price difference, you have to hit the right timing. I don't dare to trade contracts casually. I need to protect my principal; without capital, it's all over. Watching the ups and downs unfold right before my eyes—this is probably the most heartbreaking thing. Short-term trading sounds easy, but actually doing it is a whole different story. Timing is just too difficult. It's just one step away from profit, but that step might never be taken.

It’s heartbreaking to watch; this is what it feels like to always be one step away. FOMO feels good for a moment, but regret leads to the crematorium. I understand. The contract hasn't been breached normally; most people are just paying tuition fees. Only when the principal is protected can you live longer. This level of insight is enough.

This is me. I hesitated and didn't act, then acted too late, belonging to the type that always misses out. If I had known ZEC would be so dramatic, I should have gone all-in on short-term trading back then. Now I can only watch others take the profits. I was also caught up in that GIGGLE wave. I saw the news on social media and hesitated, and as a result, I missed the entire upward channel. Truly incredible. I've also temporarily given up on trading contracts. With the small capital I have, I can't afford to play that game. The fees could eat up half of the profits. Honestly, I still need to protect my principal. Without money, how can I make a comeback? This feeling is so painful. Watching opportunities slip away from my fingertips.

Looking at your story, it's a bit exhausting. This is the norm in the crypto circle—opportunities are right in front of you, but you just can't catch them. Wait, you said GIGGLE dropped to 40 and then rebounded? Why didn't I hear about this? Did I miss out on something good again? I'm also cautious about contracts. If your principal isn't solid enough, you're just playing with fire. The transaction fees can be a real killer.

This is a typical case of correctly predicting the market but failing to make money, haha. --- That wave of GIGGLE really, if you missed it, you missed it. Chasing blindly will only get you cut. --- Contracts still need to wait until the principal is accumulated enough, otherwise it's just giving away money. --- I was also in when ZEC dropped from 500 to 300, but I just didn't have the courage to bottom fish. Thinking about it now, it's quite regretful. --- The price difference is indeed large, but timing is unpredictable; it all feels like gambling. --- Putting capital preservation first is correct; many people lose their principal because of greed. --- It's easy to watch the excitement, but when it comes to real operation, your hands start to shake. --- Hearing information early and not daring to act—I've got this problem too, it's a lack of execution. --- Contract fees eat into profits, and with small funds, it's really not cost-effective. --- Stories like this happen every day in the crypto world, everyone is a hindsight expert. --- I often fall into this vicious cycle too, watching the market pass by helplessly.
