This is the ultimate simplicity of the大道, after all the fussing, it's better to stick to mainstream coins. I've also fallen into the contract trap, losing so much I doubted my life.
---
All in on mainstream coins—that decision shows you've already understood. Compared to those who chase new coins every day, we win by staying alive.
---
Not losing is earning—that logic looks simple, but few can stick to it. Most people still can't control their hands.
---
Honestly, Bitcoin and Ethereum are enough; everything else is just to cut leeks.
---
Experiencing trial and error leads to clarity. This hits the mark—those who are stable from the start have already suffered losses earlier.

The last sentence triggered me. Many people fall into the trap of "reckless tinkering." Simplicity and straightforwardness are actually the best ways to survive.

Sticking to mainstream coins is indeed more comfortable than chasing new coins every day, but going all-in is really a gambler's mentality.

You're right, contracts are really risky. I only understood after being hacked before; it's still more reliable to stick with mainstream coins.

The dream of lying and winning should have woken up long ago; it's better to honestly hold mainstream coins.

You're right, there are too many pitfalls in contracts, it's really not worth it.

lol the "just don't lose money" thesis is peak retail energy, ngl. but yeah, distilling down to btc/eth/bnb after burning through alts is like... the adoption curve finally clicking, right? most people never get there though, they just keep chasing the next narrative. respectable move tbh, even if it took the hard lessons.

All in on Bitcoin is indeed stable, but that phrase "not losing equals earning" is really brilliant. A poor mindset could have broken the game.
