Recently, I have some ideas to discuss based on practical experience on the SOL and BSC chains.

First, let's talk about market cap limits. I have to admit that new tokens on the SOL chain (like White Whale) indeed have more heat and growth potential compared to BSC. But my own operational bottom line is very clear—once I see a new token reaching a market cap of 5 to 20M, I basically stop increasing my position.

This is not being timid; it's rational. This year, my risk positioning is in risk-avoidance mode, focusing on reducing unnecessary losses rather than chasing high-multiplier returns. Because of this strategic adjustment, I have chosen to bypass meme coins on SOL that have already reached very high market caps and didn't participate in the final rally.

The situation on BSC is a bit different. Although new tokens on the chain are not as explosively hot, there is more room to control risk factors. Each of these two chains has its own gameplay, and the key is to tailor your strategy according to your risk tolerance.

honestly the 5-20m cap cutoff is where most degens get rekt, so respect the discipline tbh

Avoiding pitfalls rationally—that's the real secret to lasting longer.

empirically speaking, the 5-20M cap threshold is basically where governance mechanics break down anyway... data suggests most tokens that cross it lack any meaningful tokenomics framework whatsoever

This wave of 5-20M market cap positioning is basically Luban No.7 digging another hole for itself... Theoretically it should be feasible, but in practice, it's still easy to get caught holding the bag. Hedging is really attractive, and this year I've locked myself in again. SOL's popularity is indeed exploding, but I still choose to bypass... Just doing a small experiment shows how painful it is to buy high. On BSC, the risk factor can be controlled, each has its own way of playing. This strategy adjustment, maximizing academic value and minimizing practical value, is the norm. Another useless innovation? But risk management is indeed the top priority.

It should have been played like this a long time ago, the FOMO on SOL is just too intense. However, I don't dare to add between 5-20M. Is my psychological barrier a bit conservative? BSC is indeed more stable, mainly because the liquidity isn't as fierce. This year, risk control is essential. What happened to those who chased high multiples last year? You really need to distinguish whether you're here to make money or to gamble.
