Recently, I summarized an experience: projects with a BSC listing value exceeding 5 million are basically no longer involved.

Why is that? After careful backtesting, I found that the overall return from long-term holding is actually a loss. The pace of BSC is too fast; basically, a new hot track emerges every three to five days. Projects that last more than a week are already considered old coins. Under this rotation speed, the risk of chasing highs is too great.

In comparison, the pace on xLayer is even more extreme—project cycles are usually completed within a day. Although this carries higher risk, it also means clearer entry and exit time windows.

It seems that this is the ecological characteristic of different public chains; adapting to the rhythm is more important than anything else.

To be honest, I gave up on BSC a long time ago. Falling behind the rhythm means losing money.

Haha, giving up at 5 million? I gave up on BSC a long time ago. That place is just a leek-cutting conveyor belt. To be honest, I find the rhythm of xLayer's daily cycles more refreshing. At least I don't have to guess when the game will end.

Would you give up with a market cap of 5 million? I actually prefer this size, enough liquidity without being locked out by big players. --- xLayer completing a cycle in one day? Come on, isn't that just gambling... But then again, it's true that entering and exiting clearly haha. --- BSC rounds every three or five days? My problem is I just can't keep up with the rhythm, always getting caught after chasing in. --- This logic is a bit reversed, higher market cap actually means more controllable risk, and the liquidity trap of small coins is even more terrifying. --- Adapting to the rhythm? I’ve given up on the rhythm altogether, now I only copy Bitcoin and Ethereum. --- That's right, but I realize I’m not cut out for short-term trading at all, I’ve lost all my pants. --- xLayer completing in one day? Then I’d better wait and see if institutions start entering first. --- That’s interesting, but BSC has really become a cash machine, gotta pick the projects carefully. --- Fast pace = fast bleeding, now I see a new BSC coin I run, it’s too competitive and I can’t handle it. --- A market cap of 5 million is still small, right? I feel below 1 million is the real target for manipulation.

You won't touch it with a 5 million market cap? I feel like this is a lesson learned; it should have been like this a long time ago.

Starting to avoid pitfalls at a 5 million market cap? I feel like this is a subtle hint that you've made quite a bit of profit, haha. Completing a cycle in one day with xLayer sounds really exciting, but can your mindset stay intact with such a pace?
