There is a story about an investor that is quite upsetting to watch.

He decided to buy the dip during a market downturn, pouring in $250,000 within 16 hours to buy a certain token at an average price of $0.02892. He thought this was a bargain opportunity.

But what happened? When he woke up, his assets had dropped by 86.9%, leaving only 13% of their original value. The market cap of that token also plummeted from its high to $3.84 million.

The most ironic part is—

He used USDT transferred from a new wallet, marking his first entry into this token. In other words, this seasoned investor wasn’t caught by an old chaser trap, but just stepped into the market right when the harvesting machine was already running.

What does this whole story tell us? In the crypto market, there are no absolute bottom-fishing opportunities. Beginners should be especially cautious of tokens that seem unbelievably cheap. A coin falling from its high doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the bottom; it might just be the start of a decline. When the market rebounds, stay calm and don’t be blinded by short-term fluctuations.
