Honestly, some tokens' routines are really outrageous. At first, I was attracted by marketing copy, but only later did I realize I had fallen into a trap—these types of coins are basically tools to maintain superficial market hype. The candlestick charts seem to run normally, but once you try to cash out your profits, the price drops immediately like a waterfall. What's even more heartbreaking is that during the holding process, you have to endure continuous fluctuations and declines, watching your principal evaporate right before your eyes.
The root cause of the problem is simple: there are no genuine counterparties. Tokens with low liquidity are difficult to sell later on, and may even fall into a situation with no buyers at all. Once this vicious cycle starts, it's very hard to reverse.
For friends who are already trapped, I can only advise cutting losses in time. These types of tokens basically have no chance of rebounding; holding on will only worsen the losses. Instead of waiting for a miracle, it's better to preserve your current funds and invest in more promising assets—such as ETH, which has sufficient liquidity and relatively clear fundamentals. The crypto market offers many opportunities, but you also need to learn how to avoid obvious risk traps.

You only realize what "cutting leeks" means when selling; once liquidity evaporates, it's a dead end. Stop-loss, really.

Really, I've seen so many trash coins like this, I should have cleared my position long ago.
---
Coins with poor liquidity are just traps; you can't even sell them.
---
You're right, cutting losses in time is the key; don't expect a rebound.
---
It's better to play with major coins like ETH; liquidity is unquestionable.
---
Once you've been trapped once, you'll remember it forever; never touch small coins again.
---
No matter how fancy the marketing hype, it's just paper tigers; once you see through it, you won't be fooled.
---
The feeling of no one taking over your position is truly despairing; I was so anxious back then.
---
Now I understand that most altcoins are just tools to harvest retail investors.
---
Exactly, choosing coins based on liquidity is basic common sense.
---
Cutting losses is painful, but it's better than continuing to lose.

Don't think about turning the tide when you're trapped; these trash coins are just tools to harvest retail investors.
You should have cut your losses early; continuing to lie there will only make it worse.
Coins with zero liquidity are truly invincible, the kind you can't even run away from.

Really, when it comes to liquidity, it's basically a moat for cutting leeks.
It's been obvious for a long time that lacking an opposing order book is a trap. Even a beautiful K-line is useless.
Instead of betting on miracles with trash coins, it's better to go all-in on those with good liquidity, at least you can walk away intact.
I've been tired of this trick for years, but some people still keep jumping in.

Liquidity is the key, I really don't touch coins without liquidity. I've seen too many people trapped by these trash coins, and later on, they can't even run away.

It's the same old trick again, really annoying
---
Lack of liquidity means dead coins, don't expect anything
---
I'm the one who got trapped, should have just gone with ETH from the start
---
What’s the use of good-looking candlesticks, can you eat with them?
---
Being unable to find a buyer is the most despairing, worse than a limit-down
---
Stop-loss, stop-loss, but feeling like being cut at the floor is even worse
---
These kinds of coins are just the manipulators' ATM, retail investors are all chives
---
Coins with poor liquidity shouldn’t even be touched, really
---
Seemingly prosperous but actually just a facade, scams after scams
---
I just want to know why some people still keep rushing in
---
At least with ETH, you can sleep peacefully; trash coins make you anxious every day
---
If there’s no opposing order, don’t think you can sell, just admit defeat
---
I’m already tired of that marketing copy, it’s obviously a scam
---
More than half of my principal has evaporated, now everything looks like a scam

Really, that's why I only deal with top-tier coins and assets with deep liquidity now. I've seen too many tricks of small coins to fleece retail investors.

Really, only after being scammed by this kind of coin do you understand what a leek's hell is. Once liquidity is gone, it's a one-way elevator down, there's no rescue at all.

I should have said this earlier, really. Those so-called "air coins" are just the manipulators' cash machines, with retail investors being the ones to get chopped up.

Another story of being wiped out. It's high time to see through the true nature of these trash coins.
