I recently observed an interesting phenomenon. After a major exchange listed a meme coin spot, the market immediately reversed—just a few days ago it was rallying, then suddenly it plummeted. On Twitter, all you see are screenshots of losses, with a flood of complaints saying it's better not to trade spot, and even project teams being criticized for being unprofessional.

Fast forward to today, the same coin is starting to rally again. This time, the community's tone has completely changed, with screens full of profit screenshots, and comments flipping to praise—one after another saying "This is faith" and "Heading for new highs." In just two or three days, public opinion has completely reversed.

Honestly, this move clearly played retail investors. They chase in during the rise, get caught during the fall, and then keep buying as it goes up again. This is the daily routine of meme coins—technical analysis doesn't mean much, it’s all about who has a steadier mindset and who sets smarter stop-losses. Volatility itself is the risk, not some long-term value.

Retail investors are the ones repeatedly cut by this kind of sentiment—blamed when prices fall, forget the pain when they rise again.

A typical leek harvester, the rise and fall all depend on the market maker’s whim. If stop-loss isn't set properly, you're just giving away money. Meme coins are all about psychological warfare. The group that’s obsessively watching will be crying again in two days. The community turns around so quickly, it's like flipping through a book—hilarious. That's why I stopped trading spot markets long ago; it's just too exhausting.

Uh... this is the most we've seen in a script all year, really.

This is the fate of retail investors: chasing highs and selling lows. --- The group that was just praising yesterday was cursing each other two days ago—such a quick turnaround. --- Meme coins have no real technical fundamentals; it's all psychological warfare. The one with the strongest mentality wins. --- If you didn't set your stop-loss properly, just wait to be harvested—that's the game rules. --- The public opinion flipped in two or three days. What does that mean? It means no one is really looking at the long term. --- Volatility itself is a risk. This statement is so true. --- Is the project team unprofessional? So what? They make money exactly because of that. --- Chased in and got caught, then bought again after it rose—that cycle, how many people can't break free from it?

A typical retail trap script, anyway it's all retail investors getting caught holding the bag. This wave of emotional reversal is incredible. I wish I hadn't panic bought at the high. It's all a mindset game. Stop loss saved my life. That's how meme coins are—those talking about value are all scammers. Next time it rises, just watch. I'm really done touching it.
