Looking back at the $PIPPIN market trend, many people have stepped on pitfalls. I personally started shorting at 0.08 and stubbornly held on for over half a month. In the end, I lost nearly ten thousand U in fees alone.

To be honest, the most heartbreaking thing isn’t the money lost itself, but realizing the entire operation logic — the whales built their positions early at 0.0X levels, suppressing the short sellers tightly. Check out the current bullish lineup; most of them are retail investors who joined in later. They see the price rising and rush in one after another, not realizing they are just catching the last wave of the whales.

This experience made me understand: some coins are not untouchable, but you need to see clearly who is controlling the market. When retail longs become increasingly dense, that’s often the riskiest moment. Instead of gambling on luck, it’s better to stay away from tokens with obvious whale traces. Give yourself some space; don’t always think about making money from every market wave — surviving and leaving safely is the biggest win.
