Last night, I was chatting with a Web3 acquaintance, and we accidentally talked until after 2 a.m.
We shared the gains from crypto investments over the past three years, discussed market hot spots and future directions, and also gossip about some project teams.
One project is a traditional construction company that transitioned into the Web3 space. The project team released some positive news, and the price doubled several times.
A core team of over ten members collectively sold off at high prices to cash out. Yes, they sold all their tokens.
There are many similar operations in the crypto world, mostly involving whales releasing news to attract retail investors who want to get rich quick without doing any research.
When the price rises, the big players leave, and the remaining retail investors who bought high are left confused.
These types of projects have some very obvious characteristics: one, a very low market cap; two, a low token price.
Many retail investors are afraid of risks and dare not buy high-priced tokens. They think that cheap tokens won’t fall much and are safe, but in reality, when they do fall, it’s not much different.
Here’s a math problem:
Suppose you have a principal of 100k, and you buy a token worth 100 USD that drops 10 USD, versus a token worth 2 USD that drops to 0.3 USD, who ultimately loses more?
Calculate it yourself. If you get it wrong, I suggest you reflect; if you’ve had similar experiences and thoughts before, I also suggest you reflect. This is not an investment question; it’s a math problem!
