Looking at this wave of market, many people are shouting that a certain coin just got listed on spot trading, and the rally is about to begin. I often do the opposite—sell when I should, short when I should. 😂

To put it simply, the logic is very straightforward. Once a coin enters the spot market, the short-term rally is basically overextended, and the future growth potential is limited. This is nothing new; it's just that most people are blinded by the surge and haven't thought it through.

As for situations like Ordi? They do exist, but the probability is really low. Instead of betting on low-probability events, it's better to focus your energy on high-probability trading strategies. That's what trading is about—capturing the big trend and abandoning those gambler-like expectations.

ORDI-5,06%

Spot trading is the climax, I'm tired of this routine too. Jumping in just makes you the bag holder. That's right, you can't bet on low-probability events; it's safer to follow the main trend and eat steadily. Ordi is an example, but there are very few that can truly be replicated. Instead of dreaming of getting rich overnight, it's better to study the K-line carefully. This wave is just overextending; there's really no story left afterward. I also need to cut losses when necessary. Greed is the biggest enemy in trading. Spot trading is really a leek harvesting machine; whoever enters, whoever loses.

Spot trading is just about going all in, in other words, it's a death sentence. I've seen too many people chase the pump all the way to the rooftop. Well said, I share the same logic. If you need to run, just run; don't wait to get caught. Assets like Ordi are basically lottery mentalities; most people can't handle it. This is the proper way to trade—go with the trend and don't gamble recklessly. Those chasing hot topics are just bagholders. Wake up, everyone. Spot trading is here, and the gains will be over? Don't be silly, that's usually the last celebration. Honestly, those still rushing in now haven't figured out what they're doing. Making money has never been about luck; it requires a strategy.

Spot trading gets sold out immediately after launch, I really buy into this logic. Most people are truly blinded by FOMO, thinking that going into spot is just the beginning, but in fact, the peak has already passed. Many people indeed made a killing with that Ordi wave, but do you dare to say you can always hit the right timing? I personally am not that confident. Instead of hoping for the next tenfold coin, it's better to honestly follow the trend, at least you won't get cut too badly.

Spot trading is now available, and this move is indeed clear-headed, but I still keep a small position to gamble on a low probability, after all, I've been hit once or twice before. Honestly, there are too many people chasing spot now, they've gone crazy from this wave of gains. Short positions are the way to go; who would chase such overextended market conditions? The logic is sound, but too few people are executing it; everyone is being manipulated by FOMO. Ordi's example does exist, but the follow-up momentum is really a harvest for the chives. I'm thinking the same—spot is just a signal; if it's time to withdraw, just withdraw. Don't be greedy. Most people simply can't take profits when things look good, and that's the fundamental reason for losing money. I agree with the overextension theory, but sometimes there are black swans; it all depends on whether you can hold on to the bottom. The gains in spot are basically at their limit; they can't be sustained by narratives for much longer. Betting on low probability isn't as good as sticking to the main trend; this mindset is more important than anything. Focusing on big gains and letting go of small ones is the way to survive, but unfortunately, too many people do the opposite.

Spot trading being launched is a sell signal, I know this very well. Don't be fooled by the impressive gains; that's just smoke and mirrors during the accumulation phase by the whales. Those who are heavily shorting are making a killing, while long holders are still in a daze. Ordi has indeed made people rich overnight, but are you Ordi? How many times have I said that probability theory is important, yet some people keep non-stop betting on low probabilities. Once spot trading is available, imagination dies out. To put it simply, when it's time to run, just run; don't wait until the big players are interested before reacting. Trading cryptocurrencies is nothing more than this. If the trend is right, everything looks good; but the gambler's mentality will eventually catch up with you. At the moment spot trading goes live, smart money is already at the door. Latecomers are mostly just bagholders. Human nature is greedy, so most people fall into traps. I prefer to do the opposite: I stay cautious when others are rising, and see opportunities when others are falling. The real logic behind making money is actually very simple, but most people can't think of it. Spot trading ≠ starting point; it might actually be the ceiling.

Is going live with spot trading considered the top? I'm tired of this logic. Ordi proved everyone wrong just a few months ago, and now they're starting to promote probability theory again. If the space is empty, then it's empty. Why am I not as decisive?

Spot listing is just the beginning; once you see through this, you'll start making money. Chasing the rise only makes you the bagholder. Wake up, everyone. That's right, gambling on low-probability events is not worth it; stability is the key. Ordi is an exception; it shouldn't be treated as a regular operation. Bottom-fishing mentality is deadly; if you need to leave, just leave. Once the spot is out, the story is over. Instead of dreaming of tenfold gains, it's better to focus on stable doubling. That's why I prefer to earn less than to gamble recklessly. Short-term gains = long-term bagholding; those who understand know this. Thinking that spot is just the beginning, most have already lost money.

Is it just a matter of launching spot trading? Logical flaw, just like reentrancy attacks, requires tracking the call stack. Most people haven't even audited historical data, making it as dangerous as smart contracts that haven't undergone security scans.

# Translation Spot listing is the peak of selling, and I've said this principle so many times yet some still don't believe it Whatever happened to those people who followed the trend and pumped Ordi back then I just love seeing how those who chased the highs end up crying later In the face of major trends, low probability events are just a joke That's right, don't hesitate when it's time to cash out
