The recent fluctuations of DOGE have deeply taught me what "a day in the crypto world is like a year in the human world."

When my account went from near loss to over $800 in profit, I was still immersed in euphoria. But then it started to plummet rapidly, and I couldn't even hold back the $500 loss, ultimately forcing me to clear my position. I still feel a bit scared now.

It was only later that I realized this is the norm for meme coins. The price movements of coins like DOGE are inherently highly random, easily influenced by a few pieces of information—sudden whale accumulation, market sentiment swings, or a single tweet from a celebrity can trigger intense volatility. Recently, the meme coin market has indeed been recovering, and as a leading meme coin, DOGE has also rebounded in line with the trend, but essentially it’s driven by short-term capital influx. Once this wave of enthusiasm subsides, prices often sharply retreat.

The problem is, as an ordinary investor, there’s no way to predict these changes in advance. Whale movements are hidden in the dark, and market sentiment shifts rapidly. By the time we amateurs react, the market has already taken the chips. Blindly holding positions is like handing your chips over to market uncertainty.

Looking back now, instead of chasing gains and avoiding losses, it’s better to have a clear understanding of your own capabilities. There are indeed profit opportunities in meme coins, but the risks are equally enormous.
