In this market cycle, you need to learn how to pick coins. Good altcoins will rise, while bad ones continue to lie flat.

Every cycle produces some truly good projects, and also allows those long-dormant quality coins to experience their first big surge. But most of the old coins that were active in the previous rounds still continue to hit new lows. No matter how much a bad project tries to bounce back, it can't turn around and will instead be marginalized by new opportunities.

The key is not to be driven by emotions—either choose potential coins in new sectors or stick with projects that have solid fundamentals. Junk coins should be cut decisively, saving your bullets for worthwhile targets.

It sounds nice, but it all depends on luck hitting that potential coin. The hardest part is mindset. When I see others' coins hitting the daily limit, I just want to go all in. I haven't touched a single real garbage coin... cough, I mean recently.

Honestly, this wave of market clearly shows divergence. Trash coins should indeed be cleared out. Only new tracks have potential for profit; forget about old, broken, small coins. There's a saying: good coins can rise tenfold, but trash coins can't even double. Going against this logic is a dead end. Yesterday, I saw someone stubbornly holding onto an old coin. I really wonder... is it that hard to cut losses? Instead of betting on a failing project to turn around, it's better to go all in on something new with a solid logic.

Really, now is the time to have good judgment. Trash coins are dead, and good projects are taking off.

That's true, but only a few can actually do it. Most people are still caught in a cycle of FOMO over and over again. Old coins are indeed hard to turn around, the problem is how to distinguish which ones have real potential and which ones are new scams. Stop-loss sounds simple, but no one is willing to cut losses when it comes to selling at a loss.

Really, I won't touch garbage coins no matter how cheap they are. I've already cut my losses. Now I'm just waiting for opportunities in new sectors.

That's right, but the real challenge is how to distinguish which coins are good and which are trash. That's where vision comes into play. Don't be tempted by small gains; many old coins indeed should be cleared out. Be cautious when bottom-fishing in new tracks; it's easy to step on mines. I've had enough of trash coins killing me once; I've learned to be smarter this round. It's easy to say but hard to do; who doesn't want to go all-in on potential coins? The key is to have the vision to tell them apart. Well, fundamentals are the key; everything else is noise. I just want to know how to spot truly good projects in advance—that's the real skill. Stop-loss is the hardest move to make; I always feel it will rebound.

That's true, but how many people can truly stick to stop-loss?
