This week's BTC market has been really tough, losing another 3000 dollars. When the overall market rises, altcoins follow with slight movements; when it falls, they drop much more sharply than BTC, and the difference is huge.

Gains are only a little, but losses can be several times bigger. Such market conditions are really a bit exhausting. I originally wanted to make some profit from this wave, but instead, I got trapped.

Forget it, I’ll take it slow for now. After the Spring Festival, I’ll see how the market behaves; maybe there will be a turning point. Otherwise, I might consider switching platforms and trying a different approach. Continuing to operate in this state is just a waste of effort.

ngl this is just asymmetric downside risk playing out exactly as the math predicted... altcoin beta amplification is statistically significant when correlation breaks down like this. theoretically speaking, you're experiencing a 2-3x leverage effect on drawdowns without actually using leverage, which is actually worse

I'm too familiar with this scam in altcoins. When it rises, it squeezes you like toothpaste; when it falls, it can smash through the floor. It's truly a one-way harvesting machine.
