#美国证监会与商品期货委员会深化数字资产监管协作 Over the past month, have you also felt that—the days of altcoins are indeed tough.
Just looking at the market charts makes it clear: most altcoins are experiencing a continuous decline in trading volume, with no follow-up on rebounds, and volume drops even more during declines. Looking at project teams, the frequency of update announcements has noticeably decreased, and community discussion enthusiasm is also waning. This is not an issue with a single project or chain, but a structural change happening across the entire market.
From another perspective, this cycle is actually a major cleanup—eliminating projects that only have whitepapers but no products, removing public chains without real users, and clearing out tokens that rely solely on market makers to pump.
This approach is completely different from the strategies of the past few years. Back then, a project with a nice PPT could raise funds, tokens could be pumped up by professional market makers, and retail investors would go all-in based on faith. Now? The market's taste has changed—only looking at cash flow, real demand, and whether there are genuine users.
To put it simply, the opportunity for altcoins hasn't disappeared; just the golden era of "buy and it will rise" is over. Many rebound opportunities seem promising at first glance, but digging deeper reveals it's just capital fleeing for safety. Without fundamental support, gains will eventually have to be paid back.
For most people, instead of betting on the next black horse coin, it's better to focus more on risk management. Avoiding pitfalls is actually more difficult and more important than chasing hot spots.

ngl, the alt massacre finally hitting different when even the market makers are getting spooked. reminds me of UST in May—right before everything went sideways. statistically speaking, that volume distribution you're describing? that's textbook deleveraging, not capitulation yet.

Oh man, isn't this just the lesson I learned the hard way last year... Back then, I also thought I could catch the bottom, but I got cut in half and still wanted to add to my position. Thinking about it now, I really am the captain of society.

It's much harder to avoid pitfalls than to chase hot topics. I've been reflecting on my own coin selection logic recently.
The era of whitepapers is indeed over; now we need to look at real user data.
Projects that rely on market makers to pump their prices will eventually return to the starting point.
Honestly, clearing out these air coins is good for the market in the long run.
There are quite a few rebound opportunities, but most of them involve fund outflows, so be cautious.
$BTC $ETH is the most worth investing effort into researching; the risks of others are too high.
The projects that have recently suffered the worst declines seem to have little fundamental support.
When there are many people, everyone thinks they can make money. Now is the true test of a trader.

Damn, finally someone said it. Those projects that only know how to hype are really not going to survive anymore.

Altcoins are dead, the golden era is truly over. Now you have to think about whether there are real users using them before buying.
---
No need to say more, market makers are almost starving now haha.
---
Instead of chasing hot topics, it's better to live well. This is the most painful truth.
---
Yeah, a PPT used to be enough for funding, now you have to speak with data. The market has indeed become smarter.
---
Avoiding pitfalls is much harder than chasing hot trends; most people have turned around.
---
The cleanup period is like a reshuffle; only those who survive are the real deal.
---
Those coins inflated by market makers will eventually crash. I'm already tired of them.
---
Honestly, now it's either all in BTC and ETH, or don't move at all. The ones in between are too risky.
---
Fund escape-style rebounds look like opportunities but are actually traps.

Once regulation tightens, altcoins start to plummet. This cleanup was long overdue.
Really, those projects that rely solely on stories are no longer wanted, which is quite satisfying.
Instead of chasing hot topics, it's better to focus on living well; this is the consensus among those who are truly surviving.
