Recently, many friends have asked me, can we still buy the dip in MEME concept coins (like PEPE)? To be honest, my advice is to be cautious.
These types of coins have a deadly characteristic—when the gains are astonishing, the drop is even more terrifying. It may seem tempting with quick 10-20% returns, but the real risk could be a plunge of over 50%. Many people only see others' stories of getting rich quickly, but ignore the many cases of losses around them.
In the trading market, preserving your principal is the most important lesson. Once you start losing money, your mindset can spiral out of control, often leading to a chain of losses—I've seen too many people fall into this trap.
On the other hand, value coins backed by institutions, although their gains are not as outrageous, tend to have more moderate volatility and higher profit ceilings. In the long run, a stable trading logic always beats the fleeting illusion of quick profits.

Listen, I've already given up on things like PEPE, it's really a breeding ground for gambling mentality.
Capital preservation is the way to go, there's nothing wrong with that. I've seen too many people go bankrupt after a 50% plunge.
It's better to steadily hold coins backed by institutions, even if it's not as exciting, at least you can sleep peacefully.

Sigh, you're so right. Everyone around me who plays meme coins is just gambling with luck. One big gamble and they're done for.

Well said, I am that sucker who got wiped out by PEPE. Now I get scared whenever I see this kind of coin.

That's right, things like PEPE are really just gambling. I've seen a few friends go all-in and get liquidated immediately. Now they don't even dare to withdraw their coins.

Exactly right, MEME coins are gambling. I've seen too many people get chopped up by PEPE.
Really, capital preservation is the key; greed will make everything disappear in an instant.

Coins with a high spread at the surfing points are just high-level bagholders, no matter how cheap they are. No matter how tempting the LP yield is, you have to be alive to see that day.

To be honest, I haven't touched tokens like PEPE for a long time. I've seen too many people go all-in and then cry while cutting losses.
Once the mindset is shattered, it's all over, really.
