Those who have gained over 100x from dog coins and meme coins are doing things completely opposite to most retail investors.

First, they focus on "the worst times" to make their moves. It's not about chasing the rally; it's about accumulating at the bottom when everyone else is unwilling to look. Because meme coins, frankly, are both fundamentals and sentiment. They are also about capital flow. The greatest elasticity occurs during the shift from extreme cold to warming sentiment, always happening when "you still can't believe it will rise."

Second, resist the urge to engage in "smart trading." Retail investors love to swing trade, lower costs, and switch positions during the first rebound, only to end up missing out. The people who make 100x are actually simpler: after securing their core positions, they would rather endure shocks, washouts, and being called "fools" than compete with the main players in their most skilled zone of shakeouts.

Third, the aftereffects of market oversold conditions. Excessive caution often appears after a major decline. Retail investors are not unable to understand the market or analyze it; they just start to lose confidence in themselves. On the surface, it seems like things are stabilizing, but in reality, fear is being disguised as rationality. After every big drop, retail investors seek safety, while the main players look for chips. The more you try to confirm, the easier it is to buy at high, certain levels.

Therefore, every rise is a hesitant rise. The true large-scale breakout often occurs when retail investors are still in the aftermath, still doubting themselves, and still waiting for certainty. By the time you "completely believe," it's usually already the later stage, when the main players start distributing and making you feel "incredibly stable."
