The Chinese Meme coin "I'm Damn Coming" that took the crypto world by storm was launched on Gate on January 8, and it exploded within just a few days. Its market cap soared from launch to now reaching the $16 million level, with a 24-hour increase once hitting 483%, and the hype was off the charts. But everyone knows the tricks behind these types of coins—essentially, it's just money and emotions playing, with no real technical support or practical application. Once the market sentiment shifts, a sharp decline is imminent, and a bunch of retail investors chasing the high end up as bagholders.



Watching others make a fortune while you feel regretful is common. Actually, this regret mostly stems from a few issues. First, information asymmetry—early news is circulated within small circles, and by the time you hear about it, the price has already skyrocketed several times, making entry costs ridiculously high. Second, cognitive bias—some people think these coins lack a solid value foundation and miss out, only to be taught a lesson by the market. Third, limited risk tolerance—these coins are extremely volatile, and many can't handle the risk psychologically, so they can't hold heavy positions, resulting in meager gains.

If you want to seize opportunities next time without falling into traps, you need some practical strategies. First, pay attention in advance to Meme coin communities and KOLs to identify promising early projects, but never risk your entire assets. Second, position control is crucial—use no more than 5% of your total assets to trade these high-risk assets; even if you lose everything, it won't hurt your overall situation. Third, learn to take profits and cut losses—sell part of your holdings when the price rises to lock in gains, and cut losses decisively when it hits your stop-loss level, don’t rely on miracles to reverse the trend. Lastly, avoid coins without transparent teams, open-source code, or liquidity—no matter how hot they are, ignore them.

Regarding this current coin, it has already pulled back from its high and stabilized around a $15 million market cap. Meme coins are like this—they come fast and go just as quickly. Most current entries are probably high-level bagholders. Wait for a correction to a more reasonable range before considering entering again, or simply shift your focus to finding the next early promising project. Ultimately, the explosive growth of thousands or even tens of thousands of times is a game of capital; blind regret is pointless. Instead of dwelling on missed opportunities, spend time building your project screening system and risk management framework, so that next time you encounter similar opportunities, you can both capture profits and protect your principal.

A 483% increase looks tempting, but entering now is just buying at a high. Wait, has this coin now fallen back to 15 million? Missing the early stage really is the outcome. Controlling your position to 5% is truly the only way out; otherwise, just wait to become a leek. Feeling exhausted, next time I need to pay closer attention to community updates earlier and not get caught by information gaps again. Early meme coins are just gambling; those who win are the ones with channels. Retail investors should face reality.

It's the same pattern again. As soon as the 483% increase appears, I start to regret it. Basically, it's the gambler's mentality.

It's the same story again, behind the 483% increase are the tears of the bagholders.

I've seen through it long ago; this kind of coin is just a game of hot potato. Whoever takes the last hit will be doomed.

It's the same old story. I've always said that meme coins are just a game of funds. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I swear, this wave is indeed a classic capital game. Early entrants made a fortune, and now those who join are just riding the coattails. Honestly, instead of regretting missing out every day, it's better to learn proper take-profit and stop-loss strategies. Trying a 5% position to get a feel for the market—mindset is the hardest lesson. These types of coins have this temper: once the hype passes, they drop to zero. It's better to find projects with solid fundamentals; otherwise, you'll always be chasing highs and getting cut. Wait for a correction to a reasonable price before entering. Currently, jumping in is just being a bagholder at a high point—there's no point. Information gaps can indeed be misleading, but what's even more damaging is lacking risk awareness. Going all-in on a hot coin expecting to double your money—that kind of thinking needs to change.

This coin is too risky to buy now; wait and see if you can catch the bottom.

Speaking of which, this "5% position control" plan looks smooth, but no one raises the incentive compatibility issue during actual operation. Can retail investors really stick to the stop-loss line? Most of the time, they just break their defenses again and again, then self-hypnotize with "this time it will rebound." There needs to be a specific mechanism design, rather than just broadly saying "be disciplined."
