Classifying mainstream coins and hot projects into tiers will give a clearer picture.

The top-tier leaders like BTC, ETH, BNB, and SOL are undoubtedly the core assets. If you want to be cautious, stick with these.

Moving down, XRP, LINK, and TAO are representative projects in their respective fields. XRP is a veteran in cross-border payments, LINK maintains a stable position in the oracle space, and TAO has gained popularity in the AI sector.

Recently, the more active projects are in the range of XLM, VIRTUAL, PENDLE, OG, and ZEC, so keep an eye on them. Among these, VIRTUAL and OG are new coins with quite high attention, but there are differing opinions from their teams, so watch for updates. DeFi yield projects like PENDLE are also worth noting, and ZEC, as a privacy coin, still has some popularity.

The top-tier groups are indeed stable, but who is still only trading those now? We need to see the new forces. I'm also following the new coins VIRTUAL and OG, but the team there is a bit chaotic, so let's wait and see. TAO is interesting now; the hype around AI is exceptionally high.

The top-tier teams are indeed stable, but I still prefer the type like LINK that quietly makes big gains. I heard there are disagreements within the OG team? Then I need to observe a bit more before taking action. VIRTUAL is being traded too aggressively, it feels like it's about to run away. TAO definitely has a shot in the AI track, but be careful when taking over. Does anyone still play with ZEC, this privacy coin?

I hadn't thought of the tier division method like this; it is indeed much clearer. However, the disagreement between the teams of the two new coins VIRTUAL and OG still feels quite uncomfortable. --- BTC and ETH are the safety anchors; holding them can make money even while sleeping. Everything else is gambling. --- TAO is indeed attracting funds in the AI sector, but now is it too late to enter? I always feel like it's too late. --- PENDLE's returns sound good, but isn't anyone mentioning the risks of DeFi projects? --- LINK is indeed stable, but it just feels like it can't go up anymore. When will it break through? --- XLM, ZEC, and these dormant coins are becoming active again. Are they about to shake out another wave of retail investors? --- It sounds good, but making real money still depends on luck. This tier division method can't save those with poor skills. --- High popularity of VIRTUAL also means high risk. New coins are like this; be careful.

The tier classification method is good, but I think the disagreements between the VIRTUAL and OG teams are a bit uncertain. --- BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL—these four are really solid, you can even sleep on them. --- LINK remains so stable, just not enough of a surge; XRP, that old relic, has been stirring up recently. --- Can PENDLE really be a good entry? DeFi yield is a deep water. --- New coins are too hot to handle; better to first see if the team is reliable before making a move. --- ZEC privacy coins—these things, once a regulatory wave hits, they all fade away. --- Actually, the safest bets are Bitcoin and Ethereum; others are just gambling on whether there's a story behind them.
