Recently, I have been paying attention to the performance of some mechanism coins and have taken a small position to test the waters. To be honest, the popularity of these types of coins tends to fade quite quickly in the early stages. After observing for a period of time, I found that many platforms exhibit similar cyclical patterns—after early participants profit, the subsequent upward potential is significantly constrained. The market sentiment has been somewhat unstable these days, but in a little while, we should see some adjustments and re-pricing. The key is to understand the lifecycle characteristics of these projects and not be fooled by their initial hype.

I've seen this trick too many times; early exuberance and late-stage panic are always driven by retail investors.

Mechanism coins are just a way to cut leeks; early investors make money, while later ones are just bagholders.

Mechanism coins are like this: after a wave of retail investors get burned, the hype disappears. I really don't know who else would chase the high.

Mechanism coins are just a harvesting tool for the leeks; early participants have already run away. --- Well said, once the hype dies down, it becomes useless. Let's wait and see this time. --- Really, it's always the same routine, old news. --- Trying a small position is okay, but never go all-in on these things. --- Understanding cycle patterns is important, but no one can predict exactly when the rebound will happen. --- Knowing the lifecycle is useless; you still have to rely on luck. --- One enough to be fooled once; now it's mainly about observing. --- Repricing? I think it will mostly continue to decline. --- These types of coins rely on information asymmetry to harvest leeks, nothing new. --- Observation is correct; the worst thing is to get itchy hands and keep investing more. --- Wait, you said many platforms are like this, are there any exceptions?

The gameplay strategies of mechanism coins are too complex. Early birds eat the meat, latecomers drink the soup. I see this cycle very clearly.

Woke up at 2 a.m. and started monitoring the market again. I’ve studied the cycle patterns you mentioned, and the liquidity gaps between CEX and DEX can lead to an 8-12% price difference... That’s the key.

This is a game of hot potato; after early birds make a fortune, the people behind have to take the fall. I've also learned my lesson.

Mechanism coins are just a scheme to cut leeks; early investors make a quick profit and then exit, while later investors are the bagholders.

Mechanism coins, to put it simply, are about betting on early hype. Once the hype fades, they rot. Honestly, you need to get in early, or you'll just be a bag holder. The lifecycle aspect is truly a mystery; who can really grasp it precisely? Wait a minute... isn't this just a game of hot potato? Once the hype dies down, all projects fall flat. I've seen it too many times. Adjustments and re-pricing? Sounds professional, but I only understand whether it’s going up or down.
