Watching the holdings shrink by 80%, many people are still struggling to hold on. While encouraging each other with friends in the group, their minds are racing—should we give some suggestions to the project team? How to make the K-line look better, how to get on trending searches, how to write marketing copy...

Gradually, this project becomes like their own child, investing a lot of effort. Occasionally, they think: maybe the devs haven't thought of this part yet, if it weren't for their lack of operational ideas, could this coin have fallen so much?

So they stay online 24/7, guarding the community chat window, responding to members one by one, with enthusiasm even higher than the project team’s paid operations. In this process, they often overlook a basic fact—sometimes, the problem isn't in the strategy or execution at all.

Ha, that hits too close to home. I'm just such a newbie investor, and I even got self-congratulatory for a while. Staying up alone 24 hours a day, working harder than the team, yet the coin still drops. Wake up, everyone. The problem has never been about marketing copy. A failed project is a failed project. No matter how beautiful the K-line is, it can't save it.

Haha, this is a classic case of self-deception. When losing money, people are willing to do free promotions. Really, sometimes the problem lies with the project itself, not a lack of strategy. Instead of constantly "encouraging" in the group, it's better to reflect on your own decisions.

Wake up, this is just self-deception... The coin has dropped 20%, and you're still giving advice to others. In the end, you're the one losing your own money. People are like this, only start making excuses after losing. "Didn't expect the dev," "Operations are not good enough"... Actually, you should have realized it long ago. Monitoring the group 24/7, more active than the official... This is called wishful thinking, really. The problem isn't with the strategy; it's with the project itself. It's too late to wake up now.

Haha, that really hits home. That's exactly who I am—staying in the group every day, more active than the team. Yet the coins still keep falling... Now I finally understand that no matter how good the marketing copy is, it can't save a bad project. Shrinking by 80% and still comforting oneself—really... wake up, everyone. Wait, are you saying the problem lies in the fundamentals? So all my efforts over the past two months were in vain? But on the other hand, I did learn something from all this. Next time, I need to be more careful when choosing projects.

Haha, really? After putting in so much effort, I finally understand—sometimes the logic of a rug pull is just the logic of a rug pull. No matter how good the copywriting is, it can't save it. Watching the market 24/7 every day still can't compare to a single word from the project team. That’s really heartbreaking. Instead of changing the K-line, it's better to change the mindset. The problem might not even be in operations. Still scheming for dead projects? I think that's the biggest bug. To put it simply, some coins are just beyond saving. Don't waste your effort.

Wake up, buddy. Giving advice on a bad project is really brainless.

Crazy, I invested in this crappy coin myself and now I have to help the team come up with strategies. What kind of logic is this... Losing so badly and still working for free as a dev, wake up, brother. Another "I'm here to save this project" story, and it’s always the same. So what’s the result? The problem isn’t the strategy; it’s that you never thought it was a trap. Staying online 24/7 watching a coin that’s about to zero out, I really respect that. Basically, it’s just unwilling to admit you got cut, so you deceive yourself. Isn’t this just gambler’s mentality? The more you lose, the more you want to turn it around, and the deeper you go.

Oh no, isn't this just my daily routine after a huge loss... Watching the community and self-hypnosis at the same time, truly classic operation. Whether to add to the position or to liquidate, it's always a gamble on what the dev's next move will be. Those who are online 24/7 should have seen it clearly long ago—your liquidation price won't change because of your enthusiasm, brother. I'm just saying, sometimes the problem isn't whether the candlestick chart looks good or not, but that this project is just a rocket to the sky. It's hard to buy early knowledge, but buying cheap lessons... only after bleeding do you understand. The project has fallen so much, is it really the dev's lack of operational strategy? I think the loan ratio has long exceeded the warning line. Seeing stories like this again in the circle, there's always someone trying to save a coin that should have been liquidated long ago.

Haha, I can't stop laughing. It's me you're talking about... I really thought I could save the project. --- Wake up, everyone. The problem isn't in operations; the fundamental foundation is just rotten. --- I've already come up with plans for the team, and yet it still drops... That's the most heartbreaking part. --- Staying in the group chat 24/7, only to realize I'm the biggest victim. --- The more I lose, the more I want to save. This psychology is truly amazing. --- Not a strategy problem? Then what have I been doing with my plans over the past three months... --- Pushing investors into volunteer operations, what more does the project team want? --- Honestly, we care more than the devs do, but it still ends up being useless. --- Starting to doubt whether we're saving the project or just fooling ourselves. --- Putting so much effort in, are we investing or just throwing a tantrum?
