Recently, I discovered a few interesting projects while scanning the chain, and they seem to show signs of a restart. I decided to invest $10 first to test the waters and validate the idea within an acceptable range.

Honestly, after 2026, those former old coins might usher in a new round of opportunities. Market rotations are very fast, and if you can seize this window before the end of the year, there are still many chances. But the prerequisite is to do your homework—protect your wallet, strictly control single positions, and use small funds to explore.

The key is execution. Be sure to deploy gradually at the bottom, and never get carried away by rebounds to chase highs. In this game, risk management is always the top priority.

I like the idea of testing the waters with $10, but honestly, if you really wait until the final part, I would be impressed. I believe in the turnaround of old coins, but few can really hold on until the end of this year. Batching the layout sounds simple, but in execution, many people end up going all-in with a single shake of the hand... Risk management first, no problem, but the question is how many people can really do it. Projects discovered through chain scanning—are they reliable? It also depends on the person.

The idea of testing the waters with $10 is good, but I'm worried about losing composure during execution. Splitting the deployment into batches sounds easy to say but hard to do; when the rebound comes, it's all about going all-in. Old coins do have a chance to turn around, but the key is to protect the principal. What I fear most are those who talk smoothly about "risk management first" but turn around and chase high. Fishing at the bottom tests human nature the most... really.

Trying $10 is a good way to test the waters, but I'm just worried that too many people will find out and the bottom will already be gone. Splitting into batches sounds nice, but few actually do it; when the rebound comes, they go all in directly. It's true that old coins might make a comeback, but risk management—this mystical thing—is easier said than done... No one knows where the bottom is; it feels more like gambling on luck.

I also support trying out with $10, but don't fool yourself—this is called "testing the waters," actually it's just gambling mentality at play haha Old coins indeed have opportunities, but the risks are also high. It's not like doing homework can help you avoid a crash Splitting into batches sounds easy to say, but when the rebound actually happens, how many people can resist chasing the high? To be honest about execution, most people lack in this area. They talk about risk first, but their fingers have already bought in

Trying $10 to test the waters is still a solid approach, just worried that a shaky hand might cause a full gamble. Do those old coins really have a chance? It feels like a cycle repeating itself. I agree with the idea of deploying in batches, but most people just can't do it—buying on every rise and cutting losses on every dip. Honestly, it's all about mindset. Risk management sounds simple, but actually executing it is really difficult. I've been listening to "bottom-fishing" for five years, but who really knows where the bottom is?

ngl the $10 test runs hit different when you actually map out your exit routes beforehand... learned that the hard way after the poly bridge fiasco

Trying $10 is a good idea, but I'm worried about catching a falling knife by chasing highs. Splitting up the deployment sounds easy, but when the market starts to move, who can resist? I've also bet on old coins making a comeback, but I have to admit that risk management is indeed the hardest part. During this window period before the New Year, I feel it's better to wait and see, don't rush. Execution is definitely a bottleneck; many people can't follow through with their plans. The phrase "guard your wallet" really hits home; it's easy to be stimulated into a rebound. I agree with small funds testing the waters, but don't use trial and error as an excuse to be greedy.

Trying out $10 is a move I love, just need to hold back from chasing highs, it's really easy to get wrecked. Splitting up the deployment sounds simple, but execution depends on mindset, most people get caught here. There are indeed opportunities for old coins to turn around, but you have to admit whether you can hold onto them. This market rotation is ridiculously fast, missing even a slight slack can mean missing out. Strict position control is truly the only reason to stay alive, otherwise a wave of retracement can directly discourage you. The window period is indeed powerful, the key is who can stick to discipline. Chasing highs is the easiest, it's all about who can endure.
