Let’s talk about trading again: about a month ago, I bought six coins on BSC.

Not being able to hold isn’t the reason you don’t make money. The real reason you don’t make money is self-deception and trying only a little.

A month ago, I traded $AKE . The volatility was too high, and in the end I woke up too early and caught the late train.

I’ve been thinking: is there a more reliable way to find some “hot” coins—maybe even set a trap and wait?

There are two expectations here:

1. Coins on BSC with a market cap below 2000w, and the liquidity/position holders have redistribution and concentration.

The “shell” price on Binance perps is around 1000w. Even if the 2000w spot price may not be sold for 1000w, they’re still controlling the float—then it will launch.

Monitoring point: when OI is close to the market cap or greater than the market cap.

2. There’s some level of consensus/“narrative” injected.

Take Binance Life as an example: as a meme, if there’s a team behind it, they’ll definitely consider risk.

Especially during the bear market, and when they were reducing the number of listings.

And the biggest advantage of Life is there’s no delisting risk. Even if four does some dirty, tiring work, they’re still treated like the “real child”—just the same.

No matter whether it’s the cost of accumulating positions or the time involved, you can get reliable returns.

In summary: whether it’s spot or futures, you can buy and hold.

What I chose is 4 — White Cloth $Lobster $B2 tut tst I’m here, damn it.

From the whole community, only $TUT made money.

The reason is simple: the holding experience is good—after 4-5 days, it brought more trades and even compensation events from other exchanges.

But many people didn’t hold.

The info I saw was:

“Brother, are you still there?”

“I’m screwed—lost a lot!”

“I’m still here. I added.”

“Or they started daydreaming.”

Why they added? No one knows. Whether expectations changed is unclear. I don’t know if OI or the order book changed, whether the float increased on-chain, or whether there were any suspicious transfer operations—nobody mentions any of that.

This is simply the most basic thing in futures trading: no special technique needed. You could even just pick any monitor and do it.

I spent a long time writing a recap post, and they seemed excited, but they didn’t dig into it much.

It seems like: they think they can find a convincing-sounding rationale to persuade themselves, then have a sudden realization and treat it as a “gain,” reassuring themselves that everything makes sense.

In the end: consoling themselves for missing out—haha, I’m the one who didn’t hold.

But: is it only that you didn’t hold?

Even up to today, there are still people talking about the -2% futures fee cap.

And that was already after so many versions passed.
