Someone in the crypto world is always eyeing "cheap goods." When they see a coin with a low price and a market cap of only a few hundred million or even tens of millions, they think the cost is low and the risk is small, that it can't fall much further, and that a slight increase could double their investment. People who enter the market with this mindset almost always end up losing.

Garbage coins are still garbage no matter how cheap they are. This sounds simple, but few truly understand it. The tricks played by issuers are actually very old-fashioned—they use their worthless tokens to exchange for real assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum in your wallets. In the end, the unlucky ones are always retail investors.

Many are blinded by the words "low price." But this is not the real focus in the crypto space. What truly matters is whether the project itself has real strength. Those top coins with a market cap of tens or hundreds of billions may seem to have high entry barriers, but behind them are genuine skills—reliable technical solutions, proven ecosystem applications, and strong user communities. These things are not built overnight. Even with large price fluctuations, the fundamentals support the price. Even if there is a short-term dip, there is still a long-term possibility of returning to value. Enter at a reasonable position, and you profit from the project's growth—solid and reliable.

Conversely, those coins that are ridiculously cheap are often just shells. They seem like a bargain, but in reality, they are empty. They lack meaningful technological innovation, real application scenarios, and the team doesn’t even dare to show their faces. Their only selling point is "cheap and easy to get in." How do they make money? By recruiting affiliates, hyping concepts, and attracting retail investors to take the bait. Once the hype dies down, all that’s left is a mess.

The most dangerous are those garbage projects that claim to be "low-price potential coins." These are often packaged as "hundred-bagger" or "thousand-bagger" tokens, with extremely low issuance prices. They use small amounts of capital to manipulate the market early on, creating a false impression of a surge, making people think "if I don’t buy now, I’ll miss out." But think about it—do truly promising projects need to rely on low prices to attract attention? Not at all.
