US non-farm payroll data underperformed expectations, but global risk assets are leading the charge—gold, silver, and copper hit all-time highs, A-shares and US stocks frequently breaking new peaks, only the crypto market seems somewhat subdued. Bitcoin's recent performance has been volatile, and altcoins are struggling even more, with capital flows clearly diverging from the crypto space.

Speaking of hot topics in recent years, meme coins have attracted attention every year, but have you noticed? The market cap of newly emerging meme coins is getting lower and lower. The enthusiasm for capital inflow has noticeably declined, and some investors are even losing interest in entering.

Look at the real situation in the market: according to the 80/20 rule, 2% of players are making money, while 98% are continuously losing. Those who are profitable have shifted their focus to asset allocation and diversification; meanwhile, the losing group has often invested their entire assets, and in the end, can only leave in disappointment.

This creates a vicious cycle—funds inside the market continue to flow out, leaving only the remaining capital to make the final digestion. Market vitality is gradually waning, and this may be the most authentic reflection of the current situation.

98% of the people who lost money are in my social circle; now they've all deleted me. --- The crypto world really only has residuals left; without fresh blood coming in, who’s making money? --- 2% of people have already shifted to asset allocation; we're still here studying K-line charts, honestly can't keep up anymore. --- Is the meme coin ceiling getting lower and lower? It shows that only retail investors are entering and scaring out other retail investors, it's not interesting. --- Gold, silver, and copper are all hitting new highs, but our Bitcoin is still dragging its feet, and the gap is becoming more obvious. --- This vicious cycle goes like this: those making money leave, those losing cut their positions, and in the end, it's a mess. --- The worst are those who have invested everything and still lost; they should be phased out one after another now. --- Capital outflows are clearly visible; meme coins were crazy before, now it's so quiet. --- Why does no one talk about the US stock market and the A-share market? Those are the real hot spots. --- According to this trend, the crypto circle will have to stay quiet for a while longer before turning around.

The crypto world is now a big fish eating small fish, with 98% of retail investors losing their entire capital.

Oh my, it's that old story of the 80/20 rule again, but this time it really seems like no one is fooling around. Capital outflows are indeed fierce; just look at those new meme coins, and it's a mess from the start. The 98% loss figure is too heartbreaking; people around me are cutting losses and turning to buy gold and silver. The crypto circle now only has the final digestion period left, and it's becoming hard to hold on. Shanzhai coins should really be renamed "Goodbye Shanzhai Coins." The harshest are those all-in investors; they probably regret it so much their guts are turning green. People shifting to asset allocation are definitely clear-headed; although we don't want to admit it, our circle is indeed in decline.

The capital outflow is indeed clear; those making money have already gone to buy gold.

98% loss really hits home. I have people around me like that, losing everything and still in debt. People who make money have long since moved on to allocate their funds into gold and silver, while we are still holding onto worthless coins. The meme coin ceiling is getting lower and lower. Basically, it's just a cycle of taking profits and scaring off new investors. Capital outflow is real. These past two months, the crypto world feels like a ghost town, even airdrops aren't generating much buzz. The dream of getting rich overnight is now just a joke. Ask around—how many people still trading coins are actually making a profit?
