I used to chase the wind on the gainers list and make some profits, but more often I experienced the pain of liquidation. It wasn't until a certain moment of realization — that where hot money congregates, retail investors are always the ones getting cut.

Later, I changed my approach. I started focusing on overlooked coins and making long-term positions. This shift gradually stabilized my trading and truly started to generate profits.

The benefits of obscure coins are obvious: once the project launches, the profit potential is huge. But the drawbacks are also real — high time costs, patience needed to wait, and sufficient psychological resilience to endure long periods of silence. Not everyone can do this.

In 2026, I plan to team up with like-minded people to lay low in niche markets. Not chasing the hot trends, just waiting for the wind to come. Opportunities like SOL and other second-tier hot spots can be observed, but the main focus should be on those overlooked by the market but with genuine value.

Stable profits have no shortcuts; only patience and waiting after choosing the right direction.

Really, chasing after the rise has long been something to quit The pain of waiting is often worse than a margin call I've made money on obscure coins before, but I've also been buried in them. To be honest, it's just gambling on human nature 2026 is still early, what should we stockpile now, brother? Without patience, you really can't play this game

I’ve figured out this routine a long time ago, the key is to endure the loneliness. --- That’s right, chasing highs and selling lows is just working for the big players. --- I’ve also invested in obscure coins, but I’m just afraid that after waiting forever, they’ll still be zero. --- There are really not many people who can hold on for two years without checking the market. --- Instead of waiting for the wind to come, it’s better to first learn how to survive and wait. --- I also watch second-tier hot spots like SOL, but honestly, I still feel uneasy inside. --- It’s easy to talk about, but actually executing it is probably hell mode.

Basically, you just have to endure loneliness, really. If you can't withstand it, it's better not to play obscure coins; your mentality will blow up. 2026 is still early, and I wonder how many people can truly avoid chasing hot trends. I don't believe many can. Waiting for the wind to come? Haha, most people are just waiting for a margin call to happen.

Chasing the limit-up stocks back then was really paying tuition. Thinking about it now, I still feel quite scared. Wait, can this logic of obscure coins really be reliable? Or is it just another form of gambling? I also want to sit back and win passively, but mindset... to be honest, most people can't endure that long.

This is the core, those chasing the wind have all become cannon fodder. Waiting for 2026, obscure coins are indeed a way out. Honestly, few can endure loneliness. Wait, is SOL still considered obscure? Haha. I deeply resonate with the爆仓 period, a truly bloody lesson. Talking about finding overlooked good projects is easy, but the difficulty lies in this. Patience is something most people simply don't have. Places where hot money gathers are leek fields, that's true. Lying in wait in obscure tracks, it sounds easy to say but hard to do. How are the returns after this shift in thinking? Is it reliable? Waiting for the wind is less effective than going to find the wind. Your logic is a bit reversed.
