This bull market has shown some interesting phenomena. At the end of the previous cycle, various MEME coins疯狂吸血市场流动性, causing many retail investors to experience FOMO. But this time, the market is different—there's no sign of the so-called "Altcoin Season"爆发.

In the crypto market, wanting to profit from potential coins, relying on luck alone is far from enough. The key is whether you can stay steady. Don't be scared off by short-term fluctuations, and don't be blinded by the immediate ups and downs. Those who truly make money are often those who choose a direction and have the patience to hold on.

Instead of chasing every rise and fall every day, it's better to find a reliable coin and hold it steadily. That way, even if the market keeps tossing, you can stay calm.

Bro, you're not wrong. This time, I really feel a difference. --- As always, attitude determines everything. Those who can't hold are just here to give away money. --- Reliable cryptocurrencies are hard to find. Now I have to dig and research myself. --- I got burned by MEME coins last round, but this time I learned to be smart and hold onto mainstream coins. --- It's easy to say, but why is it so hard to actually be patient and hold? --- The biggest enemy for retail investors is their own restless heart. --- Once you find a faith coin, everything changes. You stop looking at candlestick charts. --- The question is, how can you tell what’s a reliable coin and what’s just air coins? --- Short-term fluctuations are just tests of your courage. Once you've experienced it, you get used to it. --- Last year's crazy MEME season really messed with people's mindsets.

This time, I didn't see the crazy wave of copycat season, but I actually saw that the arbitrage opportunities in the mempool are half of what they were last time... On-chain data shows that the large holders' holdings structure has also changed, and it feels like the strategies for this bull market need to be adjusted.

This time, it really doesn't have the flavor of the scam season, it feels like retail investors have fewer chances to get cut. --- Patience and holding steady is a good point, but it's just too hard to do haha. --- You still have to choose the right coins, otherwise even if it's stable, it's pointless to hold. --- People who got wiped out by MEME coins in the last round probably learned their lesson now. --- The problem is how to find reliable coins, that's the hardest part. --- It's easy to say, but only a few people can truly avoid chasing gains and selling at lows. --- Hold steady and keep your position, but the premise is that you've chosen the right assets. --- This round of market isn't as crazy, in fact, it's a bit dull. --- Mindset is more valuable than skills; I realized this a bit late. --- Not to boast or criticize, but those who can endure the volatility really made a profit.

It's actually a good thing that there's no copycat season, indicating that the market is becoming more rational. But the key question is—are you sure you're holding truly "reliable coins"? On-chain data will tell the story.

Holding coins reliably is much less tiring than constantly chasing gains and panic selling. That said, you still need to find genuinely promising projects; otherwise, holding blindly is just a waste of effort.

You're right, this wave indeed doesn't have the crazy altcoin season of the past two years. Retail investors have fewer opportunities to get wrecked, and those who can stay calm are actually making money. --- It's the same old story, but it really makes sense: holding on stubbornly is indeed more profitable than chasing highs every day. --- Reliable cryptocurrencies are hard to find. How do you define "reliable"? --- Last year, those who FOMOed to death all suffered heavy losses. Now it seems patience is the biggest yield. --- The lack of an explosive altcoin season is actually a good thing; the market has become more rational. However, it also means there are no more opportunities for sudden wealth. --- I just want to ask everyone, how do you "hold on stubbornly," and when do you cut losses? --- The premise of holding on is choosing the right coins, right? Choosing the wrong ones and stubbornly holding is a dead end. --- It seems everyone has learned to be smarter; no one is chasing after trash MEME coins anymore. --- Short-term volatility can't scare me; I'm only worried about fundamental issues—that's the real punch to the gut.

That's right, this time there aren't as many scam coins to cut leeks, and the market has become much more rational. Wait, is it really a good thing that there's no clone season? It feels like there's no motivation anymore. Holding mainstream coins and stubbornly resisting sounds simple, but who isn't exhausted doing it? Basically, it's a test of psychological resilience, not technical skills. How are the FOMO crowd from last year doing now? They should all be trapped and exhausted. Only when you stay steady can you make a profit. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's just too difficult.

This time, I didn't see the crazy shitcoin craze like last round; instead, it tested human nature even more. You're right, staying steady is really a big deal. The ones I know who made money didn't chase after the top, they just held on tight and didn't sell. A few days ago, someone asked me why there's no clone season. I said, well, that's because the market has matured; it's not as easy to cut profits anymore. Find a few projects with real fundamentals, then just endure. Don't get nervous and shake when watching the market.

That's right, this time is truly different. The old MEME rug-pulling tricks from the last round no longer work. Really, steadiness is the key. I'm currently just holding and not looking at anything. Just hold Mountain tokens, don't keep staring at the charts all day. Wait, the problem is how to determine which coin is truly reliable, isn't it still just a gamble? I FOMOed a few times early on, but now I've learned to be smart—once I choose, I just relax and hold. Actually, it's mainly about mindset; most people can't withstand the volatility.
