When discussing the essence of crypto assets, two keywords cannot be avoided: transactional value and collectibility. Compared to fiat currency, cryptocurrencies add three dimensions—privacy protection, cross-border convenience, and global standardization. More importantly, they have an inherently anti-inflation supply mechanism.

Why does Bitcoin stand out among many crypto assets? Precisely because of its scarcity and the non-replicable consensus foundation. Early Ethereum and similar large coins faced the same opportunity window. Looking back now, the core logic of participating in this track is clear—bet on projects with real potential and wait for community consensus to build.

But there's a common pitfall here. Many people habitually want to gamble on small coins that "might double," only to end up losing everything. In fact, a portfolio of 100 carefully selected small coins is enough to diversify risk. More than that? It becomes a "greed tax." Truly valuable projects in the crypto space are not many, and you don't need to risk your entire fortune to go all-in.

What's the key? Consensus. User base, ecosystem activity, stability of long-term holders—these are the underlying factors driving a project. A project with real application scenarios and sustained user growth is more worth paying attention to than any short-term hype.

Consensus is indeed the core, but honestly, most people don't have the patience to wait; they all want quick double-ups. That's right, a portfolio of 100 coins sounds comfortable, but many people immediately go all-in on those three or five "concept coins." To be honest, Bitcoin's status is because of its long history and a large number of believers; other new coins hardly stand a chance to replicate that. I've seen too many cases of all-in on small coins, really losing so much that it makes you doubt life. Building consensus sounds simple, but the real challenge is how to judge which projects truly have consensus and which are just hype. 100 coins are still too many; I think selecting 20-30 is about right. More than that really becomes a "grab bag of bagholders." Honestly, do people still believe in application scenarios? It feels more like a story + liquidity game. This article is like advising people not to be greedy, but look at the comment section—it's all questions like "Which small coin is worth jumping in on."

It's the same old "Consensus Theory," heard so many times it’s got calluses on my ears. Who doesn’t sound good when they talk nicely? --- 100 selected small coins? I'm just afraid that the word "selected" is the biggest deception. --- The dream of doubling has been shattered. Now they start talking about "underlying logic." --- Honestly, I believe in anti-inflation measures, but if we really wait for consensus to accumulate? Even yellow flowers have withered. --- The term "greedy tax" is pretty good, but the problem is no one thinks they are greedy. --- Hitting all-in is indeed not recommended, but can the mentality of buying Bitcoin and buying air coins be the same? --- I've heard "real application scenarios" for three years. Which project has truly gone live with an application? --- Early investors in Ethereum made a killing, but now entering new projects? Uh, that’s called "taking over the position." --- Your logic is sound, but the problem is that execution is full of pitfalls. --- Scarcity is a smokescreen; consensus is the chip that the whales hold.

Is holding 100 coins enough to diversify risk? Wake up, that's still greed tax --- Consensus is easy to talk about, but how many actually hold on till the end --- It's the same rigid theory again, but the real question is, can anyone withstand a 50% drop --- Sounds nice, but it's just gambling with luck, haha --- I've long given up on the dream of doubling small coins, now I just want to steadily buy the dip on Bitcoin --- Is there a real use case? Out of these projects, how many are truly meaningful --- Feels like they're just advising people not to chase hot trends, but hot trends are where the money is --- Old coins with strong consensus are the true safe havens, don't be tempted by small coins --- Bitcoin's supply mechanism against inflation is truly unmatched --- Holder stability? Just look at how long-term holders get wiped out during bear markets --- It's all talk, but it still comes down to luck and timing --- Choosing 100 carefully isn't as good as choosing 10 carefully; quality > quantity --- The logic isn't a big problem, but execution is too difficult --- I agree not to go all-in, but I still want to take moderate risks

That's right, but the reality is that most people can't hold on at all. When they see a 50% pump, they start to get itchy. I'm the kind of person who has lost everything gambling on small coins. Now I only dare to touch mainstream ones. Consensus is too虚 (vague/illusory). To put it nicely, it's faith; to be blunt, it's the pump and dump by the whales. Real application scenarios? I haven't seen many so far. It's all hype and speculation. A portfolio of 100 coins sounds like a lot, but in the last bear market, it all failed. This theory isn't wrong; the key is execution. Most people get wiped out waiting.
