Filecoin latest data shows significant changes worth noting. According to on-chain data, the number of miners has decreased to 1,040, a reduction of 6 within two days; network hash rate has dropped from 19.7 EiB to 19.3 EiB, a decline of 0.4 EiB; total staked tokens amount to 102.8 million, a decrease of 2 million compared to previous levels.
Some may think that as small retail investors, the rise and fall of miners are irrelevant. In fact, this judgment needs to be adjusted. Miners, as the core participants of the project, directly influence network operation and ecosystem activity. Once miners withdraw en masse, the first to suffer is market liquidity—buy orders decrease, sell orders pile up, and retail investors will face the dilemma of being unable to sell or experiencing large slippage.
From a risk management perspective, three key points need special attention. First, firmly avoid adding positions at current prices. Many fall into the trap of "cost averaging at low prices," but the core issue at this moment is not the price level, but the deterioration of the project's fundamentals. Continuing to add positions is equivalent to pouring water into a sinking ship, which will only accelerate risk exposure.
Second, closely monitor the two indicators: the number of miners and the total staked amount. These are the barometers for judging the project's survival. If the number of miners falls below 1,000 and the total staked tokens break through 100 million, it means the ecosystem has lost its self-repair ability. At this point, the price level is no longer meaningful, and exiting decisively is the only rational choice.
Third, establish a regular monitoring mechanism. Spend 5 minutes each day refreshing these two data points. Using data to guide decisions rather than emotions can help you cut losses in time during critical moments. Risks and opportunities in the crypto market often become apparent through data changes early on. Whoever controls the information holds the initiative.

Miners run away, retail investors get trapped... I've seen this trick too many times
---
Another big pitfall for adding positions, low prices don't equal opportunity
---
Data doesn't lie, that red line of 1000 miners really needs to be maintained
---
Watching the market every 5 minutes every day is much more useful than blindly studying whitepapers
---
When the staking amount drops below 100 million, I go all-in and clear my positions without hesitation
---
The ship sinks and people keep adding water? People who do this deserve to be washed out
---
Once liquidity collapses, even if it's cheap, it's just a trick
---
Retail investors really need to be more cautious; miner withdrawals are a signal light
---
Coins that can't be sold are even more painful than having no coins, understand?
---
Still trying to catch the bottom at critical moments, this mindset is truly clueless

Mining farm跑路 is really the most direct signal, stop spreading the cost, buddy.
---
The line of 1000 miners needs to be watched closely; if it breaks, it's time to run.
---
Spending 5 minutes a day to check data sounds simple... I just want to ask whether to top up or to run now.
---
A staking amount drop of 2 million coins is no small matter, indicating someone is really bottom-fishing and exiting.
---
Retail investors are most afraid of wanting to sell but being unable to, this kind of issue has been seen too often in small-cap coins.
---
Talking about spreading costs... that's just self-deception; if the fundamentals are rotten, a low price is pointless.
---
Tracking these two indicators is indeed reliable, much better than listening to all kinds of rumors.
---
A hashrate decrease of 0.4 EiB feels okay, right? Maybe it's not that serious?
---
Actually, the hardest part is execution. Knowing when to cut losses is easy; when truly losing money, everyone wants to take a gamble.
---
Staking 10.28 million is still a bit short of 100 million, but the trend is indeed not great.

Miners are fleeing, now FIL should be panicking
---
Really, don't add to your position anymore. The ship has a leak and you're still pouring water in
---
Once the 1000 threshold is broken, I will liquidate everything. There's nothing more to say
---
Monitoring data for 5 minutes every day sounds simple, but how many actually do it?
---
Slippage kills silently; liquidity is something retail investors only realize how important it is at the end
---
Staking below 100 million should be a sign to run. This is a life-and-death line, not a price line
---
Low-price cost averaging? Laughable. If the fundamentals are rotten, even cheap is a trap
---
Information asymmetry at critical moments is a matter of life and death. Whoever updates first survives
---
A 0.4 EiB decrease in computing power may not sound like much, but it is a signal

Miners are running away again, and this time it's really intense. The 1000 threshold is about to be broken, I need to set a reminder quickly.
---
It's the same old routine of adding to positions; too many people are still dreaming, I really can't hold on anymore.
---
I've been checking data for five minutes every day, and now it’s becoming more and more uncomfortable to watch.
---
Once liquidity collapses, retail investors are truly fish on the chopping board, with nowhere to run.
---
The staking volume is dropping so quickly, something's off; it feels like we're approaching a critical point.
---
Honestly, those bottom-fishing now are just committing suicide; with such a rotten fundamental, who dares to add positions?
---
The barometer is pointing to a storm, only a fool would continue to hold.
---
Data doesn't lie, but emotions do. Anyone still betting on a rebound now has lost.

Miners fleeing, staking continuously dropping... These numbers are a bit scary, gotta keep a close watch
---
It's the same old cost distribution trick, don't fall into the trap
---
Honestly, small investors really can't withstand the impact of large miners withdrawing
---
The 1000 threshold and 100 million coins, I need to watch these two data points every day
---
Lower prices are actually more dangerous, that's the key
---
Checking data for 5 minutes daily is much more reliable than research reports
---
If the ecosystem's self-rescue ability is gone, it's time to run, don't wait to be trapped
---
Liquidity exhaustion is the real problem, then you won't be able to sell even if you want to
---
The barometer theory is reliable, the number of miners is the life and death line
---
Adding to positions? Now adding is a suicidal move

Miner withdrawals, liquidity dead end... This time it's really not just worrying over nothing
---
Buying the dip at low prices? Are you brainless? The ship is almost sinking and you're still pouring water in
---
If the 1000 level really breaks, retail investors should really withdraw, no more gambling
---
Watching data for 5 minutes a day is much more relaxing than daily price and candlestick charts
---
Staking volume dropped by 2 million, this is not a small fluctuation, be alert
---
Basically, it's about watching the miners' footsteps. If they run, we should run too. Don't wait for the last moment
---
Not adding to your position now is really a wise move; if the fundamentals are broken, everything else is useless

Miners are running again, this time it's really going to be a disaster.
Starting to persuade me to add to my position again? Sister, I advise you not to, sinking the ship and adding water really won't save it.
If I can't hold the 1000 level, I'll withdraw immediately, no waiting.
Staring at these two data points every day is basically gambling on whether I can escape in time, haha.
I am firmly against bottom-fishing; if the fundamentals are rotten and the price is cheap, it's pointless.
Those still adding to their positions now... I can only say your courage is commendable.
When the staking volume drops below 100 million, it's really time to run.

Miners are all running, are we small retail investors still sleepwalking? Quickly check the data, the 1000 level is the critical threshold of life and death.
