Speaking of this wave of market activity, perhaps the most heartbreaking thing is that we haven't seen a breakout of altcoins. The kind of frenzy we expected didn't happen, which is a bit disappointing. But looking at the data from a different perspective makes it interesting— the total market capitalization of crypto assets compared to the previous bull market high still shows an increase of over 50%. What does this indicate? It suggests that the fundamentals are actually solid.
Where is the problem then? There are just too many altcoins, meme coins, and various small tokens. Just among those that once surpassed a thousand dollars in value, there are tens of thousands. Such a wide variety disperses investor attention and creates a dizzying scene.
This phenomenon is quite similar to the burst of the real estate bubble in mainland China. On the surface, it looks like chaos, but in fact, it's good news. Property prices plummeted, housing supply became abundant, consumers had more choices, and overall quality of life improved. More importantly, such intense fluctuations serve as market education—facts are more convincing than words. Who still dares to believe that housing prices will rise forever?
The same logic applies to the crypto space. Those junk coins with no fundamentals, no real application, and just hype are destined to be swept into the trash heap of history. Projects with genuine long-term value will stand out. Investors are also being educated by the market—learning to avoid leverage, not over-borrow, and focus on truly worthwhile targets.
There's a classic saying: those who don't understand investing cling to certainty, while those who do understand look for opportunities in uncertainty. Market volatility isn't scary; what's scary is choosing the wrong direction. Embrace volatility, but pick the right targets.

It's truly heartbreaking, but the data on total market cap increase really slapped me in the face and proved my previous bearish outlook wrong.
It's okay for trash coins to die off; it saves us from being constantly fooled by various scam tokens.

That's right, it's time to clear out the trash coins. I've been tired of those zero-value things for a long time.
The current landscape is actually clearer now; only the top coins are worth paying attention to. Retail investors really should learn to be smarter.
Hearing "no leverage" really hurts me; I only understand after losing some money before.
I quite like this real estate analogy—breakdown can lead to rebuilding, and the same applies in the crypto world.
Seriously asking, after this round, what real assets do you still hold?

That's right, now is the time to strike it rich. No matter how many trash coins there are, they can't change the overall trend; it all depends on whether you can tell the difference.

Honestly, a 50% increase indicates that the fundamentals are solid. The pile of altcoins was always meant to be educated and cleaned out.
---
That real estate analogy is spot on. The current crypto market is just like that—when the bubble bursts, it feels even more refreshing.
---
I won't say it outright, but the real opportunities are reserved for those who don't chase the hot trends.
---
Leverage and debt can wipe out a large number of people; this is truly a bloody lesson.

Finding opportunities in uncertainty sounds simple, but actually doing it is a rare skill.
