There was an investor who seemed very confident. About 50 days ago, they spent $22.68 million to build a position in TRUMP tokens in batches, buying around 500,000 tokens each time, seemingly aiming to steadily follow the footsteps of the big players. But what happened? They ultimately exited the market with a loss of $7.8 million.
This investor's approach wasn't impulsive—multiple batch purchases, clear bullish signals in the early stages, and the strategy of following the trend itself wasn't problematic. The key issue is that the market doesn't move according to people's wishes. From the high point in January 2025, TRUMP has already fallen over 93%. In the past month alone, it dropped another 22.7%. Trying to catch the bottom? There's often more beneath the surface.
By comparison, some projects on the Ethereum chain, although they also experienced lows, have created new highs amid repeated fluctuations. They have gone through ups and downs but remain standing. That's the difference—some tokens can find opportunities even in adversity, while others continue to decline.
Price fluctuations are normal, but if all you see is decline and no hope, then continuing to watch is pointless. The key is to discern which assets are worth waiting for and which have no more stories to tell.

It's another story of chasing highs and getting caught. 22.68 million directly evaporated 7.8 million. How strong must your risk tolerance be to watch this calmly? Honestly, it's still a gambling mentality—thinking that just following the trend steadily will let you win effortlessly.

Following the trend to buy the dip and ending up being weeded out, this is the daily routine in the crypto world.

22.68 million invested directly lost 7.8 million, how ruthless must one be to keep on living?

Another story of being exploited, 22.68 million invested and 7.8 million withdrawn. This pace really hurts a bit.

22.68 million down the drain, this is the price of following the trend...

actually, if you run a basic stochastic volatility model on this TRUMP trajectory, the -93% drawdown shows classic signs of a pump-and-dump distribution pattern. this guy's dca strategy would've worked fine *ceteris paribus*, but he completely ignored the tokenomics fundamentals and correlation matrices with meme coin cycles. statistically significant failure right there.
