Watching the coins in my hands plummet drastically, a mainstream coin has dropped 20%, some hot coins have fallen over 40%, and some have even been cut in half to 75%. Others, the concept coins that were hyped up yesterday, have nearly fallen 90%. As a small retail investor, I really can't take it anymore.

I came in three months ago, and I've experienced so much during this time. Chasing hot topics is endless, and conspiracy schemes are everywhere. How long can my wallet support this? Honestly, it's very difficult. Now, the community of a certain public chain has almost no one left, many small retail investors haven't woken up yet, still following the trend and believing in those so-called KOLs, without asking themselves if they can withstand this wave.

I now only believe in one thing: hold on to a coin and persist in building. Some say the community is the future, and I agree. Many people might find it laughable, but if the crypto world wants to play out the future, it must be done this way. Otherwise, what?

Honestly, it's just greed. The coin hyped yesterday was halved today. Who can be blamed for this? Community? Ha, in the end, it's still those people who ran away the fastest.

This wave is really brutal, a 90% drop directly made my brain explode. Those coins that were hyped up yesterday are now all air, haha. But to be fair, surviving three months as a newbie is not easy. The community is indeed the only way out, and KOLs are just here to cut the leeks. Raising the market is easy, holding the market is hard, brother. Persisting in building may sound like a cliché, but there's really no other way. A 90% cut or more has long become numb, the key is whether you have the faith to hold on. Chasing hot topics until you bleed is not as good as sticking to one project. Anyway, since you're already losing money, why not bet on the community's future?

A 90% drop is a signal before liquidation prices; chain reactions of liquidations are about to begin. --- Community building? Wake up, buddy. This is a deleveraging cycle. Don't mistake sentiment for risk control. --- March's new retail investors are still talking about perseverance, but the question is, can your health factors last until then? --- A decline of over 40% has already triggered systemic risk thresholds. The dominoes are just starting to fall. --- KOLs are best at shouting faith during the highest volatility, but they've already cut their losses. --- Holding onto a coin? The prerequisite is that your borrowing rate doesn't explode. --- Countdown to liquidation price. This isn't community building; it's clearly being trapped and still self-deluding. --- A 20% decline in mainstream coins? That's nothing. The real trap is those coins shouting "bottom." --- The "perseverance" of small retail investors is a joke in the face of liquidation. From a risk control perspective, it's all gambling.

90% decline... Bro, why don't those concept coins just get wiped out completely, so we don't have to keep watching and feeling bad?

Three months in, and you're still this deep as a beginner. Impressive. However, I've heard this set of community-building rhetoric too many times; how many actually stick around?

This is my negative alpha life, after all, a professional leek.
