Whenever the altcoin season arrives, the coins that often skyrocket in the market are not the current mainstream projects, but rather tokens that are freshly launched on the night before the market explosion. The drama of hundredfold or thousandfold increases happens frequently—project teams achieve financial freedom, while retail investors only realize the next morning that they have become bagholders. By the time they react, the whales have already quietly slipped away, cashing out completely. This routine has long become the standard operating procedure in the crypto circle.
To invest more safely, holding BTC for the long term remains the most reliable choice. Unfortunately, many people still haven't understood this principle. Markets have cycles, and risks are never absent—it's key to decide how you plan to respond.

Good morning, night creatures. Another dawn and I find myself becoming a side dish at the midnight feast.
---
To be more straightforward, the knockoff season is a buffet of liquidity traps, and the project teams and whales have long agreed on the timing.
---
I'm just puzzled—why do some people always think that the joy of multiplying their investment by a hundred can beat the time cost?
---
The tricks are so transparent now, yet people still get caught in the toasting sandwich attack. How lacking in self-awareness can one be?
---
Holding Bitcoin long-term? Wake up. The understanding of this is completely different at midnight 0:00 and 8:00 in the morning.
---
The essence of dark pool trading is: someone quietly exits before dawn, while others panic and enter after sunrise. It's that simple.

It's not that you can't gamble, but the key is to know whether you're participating in arbitrage or being arbitraged. Most people can't tell the difference.

It's the same old trick, every time someone gets fooled
---
Exactly, greed kills people, those chasing the limit-up are all newbies
---
Wait, is BTC really stable? It feels like it's also dropping
---
The most exciting thing about the clone season is this, making quick profits but losing just as fast
---
I just want to ask why are people still buying the dip on these new coins? Don't they learn?
---
HODLing Bitcoin is indeed comfortable, no need to watch the market every day
---
That's called "early movers profit," we are always the ones holding the bag
---
The truth is, the crypto world survives on information asymmetry and human greed
---
Long-term holding sounds easy, but how many can really stick to it?
---
The whales finish their cut and run, while retail investors are still discussing technicals in the community

Here we go again? I've seen so many times that some people still want to chase after those trash coins.
BTC is the true king, everything else is gambling.
Will anyone actually listen this time?
No matter how nicely you put it, human greed can't be changed.
It's always like this, and next time it will be the same story.

Ha, still talking about the old tricks. I just wonder when this show will finally end...
Honestly, those who have never bottomed out and went all-in on BTC are the ones laughing last.
Only after wiping out do you understand this truth—blood and tears money.
Retail investors are inherently the type to take the hit; there's no way around it.
Watching hundredfold coins every day is less reliable than just being an honest electricity user.
I've already laid low; after wiping out once, people become smarter.
The script of the crypto world, to cut leeks, can't be changed. Just watch.
Instead of trying to bottom out, it's more practical to just get free airdrops.
The dream of overnight wealth ends when you wake up to the reality of wiping out.

It's the same old trick again, I really can't stand these project teams
The retail investors are always the ones left holding the bag, wake up everyone
BTC is the real king, stop dreaming all day
This wave of copycat projects will probably harvest a large number of new investors again
Holding coins still depends on your brains, some people really can't learn

Coming back with this set again? I've seen through it long ago; retail investors are always the last to catch the falling knife.
Such deep tricks, and people are still jumping in.
How many more people will become bagholders this round?
But honestly, it seems like the ones making real money are those quietly stacking BTC.
Wake up, everyone. Stop dreaming about hundredfold returns.
The biggest lesson of the altcoin season is learning how to lose money.
