How deep is the water in the primary market right now?

To be honest, the hardest part for newcomers isn't choosing coins, but having the eye to distinguish between scam projects and legitimate small-cap coins. The problem is that scammers have so many tricks up their sleeves, making it hard to guard against all of them.

This market really isn't very friendly to new entrants. You could say it's a small bull market, where there should be opportunities to make money, but many people still get caught and lose out. Every day, you see someone falling into a trap, and the same stories play out over and over again.

Rather than asking whether the market is good or not, it's more about learning how to survive.

Honestly, you can't avoid the traps at Level 1 now. There's a new trick every day, I'm numb to it. Just being alive is good enough, and you still want to make money? Really, those who can walk away intact are all winners. The primary market is just a meat grinder, wake up, everyone.

Basically, the primary market is now a slaughterhouse, with scams becoming more sophisticated. If you don't learn to read the charts, you're just here to give away your money, nothing else. People keep falling into pits every day without realizing it, it's hilarious. Instead of studying coin prices, it's better to learn how to survive first. One word: competition. Everyone wants to crawl out, but most end up buried. Newcomers shouldn't rush in; wait and see the market trend for three months. How many people are actually still losing in this wave of the market? I think most are. Good projects and scams are just a thin line apart, truly astonishing.

This pit is too deep, can't defend against it.

I think this is just a dice game; only those who survive are the winners. --- The primary market is basically a casino, with scams emerging endlessly and really unstoppable. --- Watching people get cut every day, becoming numb is indeed a thing. --- No matter how good the market is, it’s useless unless you learn to recognize people; otherwise, you’ll lose everything sooner or later. --- Instead of studying coin prices, it’s better to learn how not to be scammed—that’s the real skill. --- It sounds like a survival game, haha, beginners usually don’t last more than three months. --- Scams are so varied that you can’t even imagine, and the market has never thought about letting anyone off. --- So the core competitiveness of the primary market is... staying alive? That’s a bit hopeless. --- Stories of getting cut happen every day, showing that most people still haven’t learned their lesson. --- If the market has no goodwill, then we have to be heartless to survive.

I remembered a project from a couple of days ago. It looked quite legitimate, but in the end... never mind, I already paid the tuition fee.
