Experienced investors all know a fundamental principle—liquidity is the lifeblood of assets. No matter how impressive a project is or how perfect its growth curve, if there are no buyers later on, all profit expectations are just illusions.

This is why seasoned investors, when choosing assets, often prioritize not "how much it can rise" but "whether it can be sold at any time." Within their risk tolerance, they prefer to bet on sectors and tokens with high market heat, many participants, and deep trading volume, rather than chasing excess returns from obscure assets.

The order is crucial: first ensure sufficient liquidity to sell, then consider how high the price can be driven. This should be the primary guideline for making investment decisions today.

You're right, liquidity is king. No matter how good a project is, if it can't be sold, it's just waste paper. --- Bro, your words hit home. How many people have been blinded by the price surges of those scam coins? --- I deeply understand. I almost got burned on a obscure coin before, but luckily I recognized the reality in time. --- Exactly, small-cap coins get crushed the moment they start to sell off, so it's better to stick with those with good liquidity. --- It sounds simple, but in practice, it's easy to get greedy and always want to chase that extra return. --- Liquidity > fundamentals. Many people get this priority wrong. Only after paying tuition do they understand. --- Now I understand why big players stick to mainstream coins—the stability is right there.

Liquidity is king, and that's true, but I find that most people are still greedy. They keep thinking about the next 100x, only to get stuck in a certain trading pair. It's only when no one is willing to take the other side that they realize they should have regretted earlier, but it's too late.

Well said. Liquidity is really a trap for many people. Assets that seem to be about to make you rich often end up immovable. Really, I've seen too many people stuck in obscure coins. No matter how exaggerated the gains, if you can't sell, it's just worthless paper. These days, instead of betting on small coins to double, it's better to play it safe with mainstream trading pairs and sleep peacefully. Liquidity first—this ironclad rule should have been the first lesson for newcomers. What's the difference between a 100x that can't be sold and being trapped? Heartbreaking.

Liquidity is such an important topic. So many people get caught up in the "perfect curve" and end up cutting losses and exiting... Really, it's better to make less profit than to be unable to sell when needed.
