Remember Flow? The dark horse project of 2021, once incredibly popular. And then? It plummeted from $35 all the way down to $0.1. Friends who entered at around $1.5 to $2—how do you feel about that now?

Over the years, I've seen too many similar stories, with painful lessons right in front of us:

**The fate of altcoins is to go to zero.** I'm not talking about theory, but patterns that can be seen in candlestick charts. 99% of altcoins ultimately follow this path—spot prices fall to ten times or even dozens of times below the cost basis—frankly, what's the difference from going to zero?

**The even more heartbreaking truth is: no matter when you buy altcoins, you're stepping into a trap; no matter when you sell, you're making a profit.** It sounds like a paradox, but historical candlestick charts prove it mercilessly. Selling equals profit—this rule isn't baseless. Those who survive are either early chosen ones or just incredibly lucky. For most people, the best strategy in the altcoin game might be not to participate at all.

Take a look at how many altcoin positions you still hold—deep down, you know the answer.
