Do you remember the "black swan" event in mid-October? Alts dropped 50%-70% overnight, and many people at the time thought it was just a long wick candle pullback. Now it’s clear—that those coins' prices had already fallen below the bottom from that night, evaporating four to five times over two months. This is not a correction; it’s clearly big money collectively fleeing, and the speed is even more ruthless than last year's Bear Market.
The market has its rules. A sharp fall is not fatal; what is deadly is that after the fall, you only have a bunch of "coins that can't be unlocked," and you have nothing left that can survive through the winter. Because of this, every time there’s a sharp drop, there are always a group of seasoned traders quietly doing the same thing — switching the remaining principal and floating profit to products like over-collateralized stablecoins.
Why choose them? The reason is simple. When the liquidity of alts is gradually drying up and the volatility is increasing, the super-collateralized stablecoin brings not only price stability, but also gives you the initiative to "both avoid risks and re-enter the market at any time:"
One is the true anti-fall nature - backed by over 130% diversified assets, it won't fluctuate with the emotions of altcoins.
One is that liquidity does not drop— even in the most terrifying moments of the market, cross-chain instant transfers can be achieved at near-zero cost.
The key is that when others are still stuck in alts and unable to move, you hold stablecoins and can act at the true bottom.
The market is always in a cycle: bubbles inflate → retail investors take over → a crash overnight. Those who survive until the end are not the gamblers who "always bet on the right direction," but those who understand how to switch strategies and preserve their resources in times of crisis.

That wave in October really got me stuck. Reading this article now feels a bit heartbreaking... It's that feeling of knowing you should sell but just not being quick enough.

The wave in October was really harsh. Looking back now, it was a signal of Large Investors rug pulling.

Still peddling stablecoins? It's 2024 and there are still people who believe this trap.

I've heard this theory from my brother too many times; the real question is, how many can actually execute it? Most people still cling to their coins without letting go.
