Let's talk about $ZBT and the entire altcoin sector. To be honest, when I first entered the circle, I had quite high hopes for altcoins. It wasn't until the early 2025 plunge that I lost nearly 40,000 USDT in spot holdings that I finally realized—continuing to hold on blindly would only lead to worse losses, so I gritted my teeth and cut my losses. Looking back now, I am very grateful for that decision.
Recently, there's a popular argument in the community: without an altcoin season, how can newcomers take over? The implication is that the market is already over. Honestly, this kind of talk is driven by personal emotions. But if you think about it carefully, this logic itself doesn't hold water.
After the crazy bull run in 2021, the size of the crypto market has grown beyond recognition. Most of the people who wanted to enter have already done so. Think about A-shares—no matter how fast they rise, retail investors who don't want to enter won't be tempted—market size determines the upper limit of participants, not price. The same applies to the crypto market.
Newcomers entering the circle now are no less intelligent than you. These days, trying to manipulate the market to trap newcomers into taking over? That's just wishful thinking. Times are changing, people are changing, and each generation is smarter than the last. So instead of complaining about a lack of bagholders, it's better to accept a reality: relying on retail investor dividends to make a fortune is basically no longer feasible.
Dividends will always fade. If this hits a nerve, then stay calm and re-evaluate your position and strategy in this market.

40,000 USDT is just the tuition fee, now I understand.

Cutting losses and getting out really made me realize, I think that's the hard truth.

Cutting losses is the right move; stubbornly holding onto copycat projects is courting death.
Newcomers are not that naive anymore; times have changed.
The tuition fee of 40,000 USDT was worth it.
The bag-holder species has already become extinct haha.
This market cycle is really a test of IQ.
Retail investor dividends are indeed gone.
It's a hard truth, but it's the truth.

Cutting losses is truly a realization, a hundred times better than holding on and suffering.
Newcomers aren't that naive, stop fooling yourselves.
There are no more bagholders left; everyone who needed to wake up already has.
The tuition fee of 40,000 USDT is worth a clear mind.
The era of copycat projects is over; this is not just a debate, it's reality.
If you're still praising the copycat era, first ask your conscience.
The market has changed, and the strategies should be upgraded too. Are you still using the same tactics from 2021?
The decline of dividends is not scary; what's scary is refusing to admit it.
Cutting losses and exiting > holding on until zero, this is the only truth.
The times eliminate people faster than they eliminate coins. If you can't keep up, you're out.

Cutting losses and exiting is the right move; the clone season has already become an illusion.
