#美国贸易赤字状况 The recent altcoin ecosystem is quite interesting—projects with new stories are running, while others are sleeping. The concept of Polygon's payment infrastructure has gained popularity, rising 15%; Chiliz has surged 13-24% riding the heat of sports DeFi. Any coin that hasn't crafted a new narrative is just standing still.

What does this divergence indicate? After entering the mid-stage of a bull market, the market's gameplay has changed. Funds are no longer scattered randomly; they are starting to pick winners—projects with real progress and a story framework are the ones to get on board. From this perspective, investors have indeed become a bit more mature.

But narrative coins are a double-edged sword. Concepts can be hyped, but data may not keep up. Once the story gets tired and the heat cools down, project prices can plummet faster than anything. Coins with strong narratives like $DOGE are most prone to such reversals.

The key to making narrative coins is two words: rhythm. Enter at the moment the story starts to gain momentum, and decisively exit at the emotional peak. Don't be tempted by high prices to become the last bag-holder. Now is the time to pull out an Excel sheet, study the real progress of these projects one by one, rather than following the crowd and going all-in on hype.

If you can't get the rhythm right, just wait to be trapped. This wave is definitely a story-teller's win. --- Polygon rose 15%. I already sold out early; the chances of catching the falling knife now are too high. --- To put it simply, it's still that sentence: narratives without data support will eventually collapse. --- DOGE, which relies purely on hype, becomes a slaughterhouse once the wind shifts. --- The Excel sheet thing is correct, but how many can truly persist in digging for data? --- The speed of plunge after losing popularity is incredible; I've seen it more than once. --- The key is greed. Even when it should be withdrawn, people still want to buy the dip. --- I really don't understand the sports DeFi narrative, but it doesn't stop it from rising. --- There's a big gap between storytelling and actual progress. Investor maturity is a joke. --- Rhythm, rhythm. It's simple to say but doing it results in heavy losses.

When the story starts to blow, I run; I don't touch data I don't have. This time, I really need to learn to be smart.

Basically, it's the era of storytelling, and data comes later — this round definitely involves more intense harvesting of retail investors. Polygon rose 15%, Chiliz surged 24%, but what about the progress at the foundational level? Feels like it's all just hype. If you can't grasp the rhythm, you can't escape the fate of taking the fall.

Storytelling is an art, and the key is who takes the final baton. --- That 15% in Polygon... Is it a bit late to get in now? --- To put it simply, it's that old saying: the difference between retail investors and whales lies in their sense of timing. --- Does sports DeFi really have prospects, or is it just another concept stock? I’m a bit hesitant. --- Excel is real, but I bet 99% of people opening it won't take it seriously. --- Stories get boring quickly, and the DOGE reversal was really tragic. --- I love hearing that funds are picking the winners, but who the next round of winners will be still depends on luck. --- Right now, the market favors those who tell stories; those who focus on doing the work... well, let's wait and see. --- Don't be tempted by high prices—no one listens to that, including myself. --- How long can Chiliz's sports concept last? I bet the heat will cool down in less than three months.

Haha, it's that time again to tell stories and cut the leeks. My most familiar dance. Last time with Polygon, I didn't get in, and now seeing a 15% rebound, it's really frustrating. The key is the rhythm—early entrants get free rewards, latecomers become bagholders, it's that simple. DOGE and similar follow-the-trend coins are the most pitiful; once the hype cools down, they drop to zero. That was the blood and tears of my all-in attempt. Still, I should honestly pull out Excel and track the charts—who's really working and who's just talking nonsense, it's all clear at a glance. By the way, are there any pure airdrop projects still giving away free tokens? I'm thinking of reinvesting a small amount to test the waters.

Misjudging the rhythm is just feeding the market makers; this wave clearly shows who is really doing their homework and who is just sleepwalking. For those still all-in now, you are the next ones to take the hit. That 15% increase in Polygon, early investors are laughing to death, latecomers are crying. Narrative coins, to put it simply, are like a game of hot potato; who ends up with the coin depends entirely on luck. Stories without data support will eventually have to settle the bill. You really need to carefully check the project progress, don’t just listen to the hype in the group.

The self-cultivation of a bagholder is to pull up an Excel sheet, but most people can't even finish reading the first row. The story may be hot, but data is the real thing. The 15% increase in Polygon, you have to ask if the infrastructure has truly been implemented. Narrative coins are just hot potato passing, it all depends on when you let go of the ball in your hand. Want to go all-in but also afraid of becoming the final bagholder, how is that possible? This wave of differentiation is just screening who is really working and who is just bragging. Why are people still chasing Doge? It's just a meme coin, still considered a treasure.
