2025 is here, and it's another new starting point.

This year, having MemeCore by my side has truly been very meaningful. Honestly, I have made quite a few swing trades around M coins in the secondary market, and the returns have been decent. But to be honest, compared to those true long-term holders, there is still a gap.

The feeling of the market this year is noticeably different from previous years. There aren't as many big opportunities, and instead, various projects are busy launching token offerings. This trend itself indicates something — the market has entered a new development stage, with project teams more eager to push for launches, and retail investors' opportunity windows are shrinking.

Sometimes you'll find that diligent swing trading isn't as good as holding onto a good project. In 2025, should we keep chasing after quick gains or learn to wait? Perhaps this is the real test.

Holding onto good projects is really much better than chasing daily ups and downs. I realized this last year. Swing trading almost gave me anxiety disorder. It's better to just relax and hold. The market has indeed changed this time. Is the era of retail investors picking up bargains over? Feeling a bit anxious. Long-term holders earn the most. This should have been clear long ago. Why can't I just get rid of my short-term habits? Between waiting and messing around, I always choose to mess around. Who's making me restless? The market window shrinking is a bit of a punch to the gut. It feels like all the opportunities have been snatched up by big players. Sticking to a reliable project is better than anything else. Basically, it requires patience. By 2025, I need to learn to cut losses and control greed. That’s the real skill, right?

Damn, that was a really harsh truth. I made some pocket money from swing trading in 2024, but I still got trapped as a long-term holder being crushed. Wait, so you mean I need to change my approach this year? Stop chasing hot topics? That's right, but I really can't do it. My hands are itchy, haha. Looks like I need to learn to hold, or I'll just lose more the more I mess around.

I've said it before, this wave is really a test of the retail investors' mentality... Long-term holders have already won. The opportunity window for retail investors is shrinking. I mentioned this half a year ago, and now you understand, right? Protecting a project is better than daily trading swings. This is a painful lesson I learned after paying so many transaction fees... Stop messing around. The overall trend is clear, and waiting is the real skill in trading. From swing trading to long-term holding, this transition is easy to say but hard to do. What does it mean when project teams rush to issue tokens and go live? It indicates a reshuffling of market tiers; you need to have good judgment. I said the opportunity is shrinking, and some people still didn't believe it. Now it's clear. Waiting itself is the strongest strategy, but unfortunately, most people can't wait.

Handshake, you're so right. Instead of constantly watching the market and taking losses, it's better to hold onto good projects and sleep peacefully. It's really competitive now, everyone wants to catch the wave, but it's becoming harder and harder to find opportunities. Holding onto M is enough, stop messing around, brother. Honestly, the overall rhythm has changed this year, small retail investors are finding it increasingly difficult to exploit opportunities. Those still trading in 2025 should wake up already, really. That sentence hits home... Patience is the greatest test.

Swing trading feels exciting for a moment, but then you realize you're still being ground down by long-term holders. That feeling really stings. Wait, is the opportunity window really shrinking this year, or are we all just hallucinating about bottom-fishing? Holding projects vs. messing around, honestly, it's still a gamble on luck. Who knows? 2025 is really a test. I think most people will still keep messing around, haha. When will M coin take off in this wave? Feels a bit stifling.

The small profits from swing trading are really not worth it; you still need to find the right projects and hold them tightly. Long-term holding vs. frequent trading, the ones who always end up losing are us retail investors. This wave indeed feels like there are fewer opportunities; project teams are rushing to launch, and our time window is getting tighter and tighter. Holding a good project is definitely more comfortable than messing around every day, but it's really hard to find that "good project." By 2025, I still need to change my temper and stop always thinking about bottom fishing and topping out.
