Regarding DOGE, I want to say something practical. Have you noticed that you've fallen into a pattern—just want to short whenever the price slightly rises? This is actually a habit that the market is teaching you. A year of market fluctuations has conditioned most people to reflexively sell on every high.

The problem here is: you might have won several times, even taken profits smoothly. But the harsh reality of trading is this—winning countless times, but losing once can wipe out all your profits. Those voices promoting "always making money" are often the most dangerous signals at critical moments.

Instead of frequently jumping in at high points, it's better to now focus on spot holdings. Don't try to precisely gauge the bottom; hold your position until it reaches the $1 mark. Those who have been through it know—being able to hold is the real skill. By then, you'll understand why long-term holding is more reliable than frequent trading.

Buying the dip at every high is truly a trap. I used to have this problem too, but a single correction completely recovered my losses.

Buying the dip is really a death sentence, I've been there too. Almost driven to bankruptcy, haha.

lmao the governance attack vector here is obvious—retail fomo into bags while they preach hodl discipline they'll never actually execute. classic protocol darwinism playing out in real time.

I just want to ask, who the hell can really hold on for a year without moving? It sounds easy, but it's incredibly difficult to do.

Haha, another argument of "being able to hold is the real skill"... I just want to ask, who doesn't want to hold? The problem is the mindset. That's right, but a year ago, there were also many people shouting about $1, don't deceive yourself. Frequent shorting is indeed against human nature, but can you really make money just by going all-in on spot? That logic is a bit optimistic. Haven't those who truly experienced it all shut up? The more they love to talk, the more likely they are to lose. Holding is fine, but the prerequisite is choosing the right coin. As for doge... I reserve my opinion. Where are those who always make money now? They've probably gone silent long ago. Sticking to spot trading is correct, but don't throw away your stop-loss either—that's the real lesson. Sounds good, but "being able to hold" is easy to say and hard to do. Conditioned reflex to short? My conditioned reflex is to run away... I've seen too many times when people say "it will definitely rise."

Buying the dip is really a curse; one liquidation and it's all gone. Holding on is stronger than anything; it's a test of psychology. Those who always make money should have gone bankrupt long ago, don't buy into this. Shorting is so fun, but it can make you lose even faster. Isn't it more enjoyable to earn passively with spot trading? Why the frequent trading? One big loss can wipe out a hundred small gains, that's the cruel reality. Holding a position until it reaches $1? I believe, but only if your mindset is stable. Frequent trading is just working for the exchange.

Really, I gave up the strategy of shorting on rallies a long time ago. Only after losing do I understand. --- That's right, winning ten times and losing once still brings you back to square one. This is my blood and tears story. --- Holding on is the real skill. That hits hard. I'm the kind of unlucky trader who frequently makes moves. --- Always making profits? Haha, just hearing that makes me want to run. Usually, it's just the prelude to being cut like a leek. --- Instead of watching the market every day and shorting, why not just lie flat and hold the position until it reaches one dollar? --- Conditioned reflex shorting is really a tumor; the market has trained us all to be gamblers. --- A margin call can wipe out a year's worth of profits. How many people need to experience it firsthand to understand? --- Holding spot until it reaches one dollar? Sounds easy, but psychologically holding on is the real challenge. --- Frequent trading is just gambling against probabilities. In the end, we retail investors are the ones always losing.

You're really not wrong. I was repeatedly taught the same lesson before—buying the dip and then getting wiped out in a single liquidation. Alright, actually holding long-term spot is the real way to go. Don't listen to those scammers claiming you'll always make money. Honestly, I believe DOGE can reach one dollar, but I'm just worried my own mindset will collapse first. This time, consider it as paying tuition fees. Next time I trade too frequently, I'll really be a fool. I've heard too many people say they want to precisely gauge the bottom, but in the end, they all get caught. It's still more reassuring to buy blindly.
