When I was transferring accounts, I suddenly realized something—those "zombie holdings" I had long given up on actually rebounded collectively. Especially FIL, which stubbornly pulled the entire small position from the bottom back up, doubling in value. This feeling is more exciting than chasing high and hitting the daily limit, and it also made me seriously think about what exactly happened behind the scenes.
It's a bit embarrassing to say. During the crazy market frenzy in the first half of the year, I threw 500U into the public chain sector, purely following the trend. In just a month, it grew to $15,000, and I was floating on cloud nine, truly believing I had found the secret to wealth. As the tide receded quickly, the market started to decline, and I took profits when I saw signs of a downturn, gradually cashing out, leaving only $1,000 in a few outdated hot coins that had plummeted a hundredfold—basically betting on an extreme rebound, but I didn't hold much hope.
When I reviewed my account last month, this part of the holdings was down to just over $300, completely wiped out. I simply labeled them as "sunk costs," pretending they didn't exist, planning to let them lie dormant in the account. Who knew that today, while organizing assets, I would be stunned. FIL's surge became the lifeline for the entire small portfolio, pulling it up from the bottom and earning more than double the profit.
Many people might say this is luck. But after years of navigating the market, I have to be honest: this wave of FIL's rebound is not accidental. The underlying logic of the decentralized storage sector still holds, and the cyclical fluctuations of market sentiment continue to verify this. For ordinary investors, this market cycle is actually a reminder—sometimes, the real profit opportunities are hidden in corners most people have forgotten.

Haha, really, I was also startled when zombie coins suddenly came back to life, but this time FIL's rebound is indeed different.
To be honest, the sunk cost mentality is the most deadly; many people have missed out because of it.

The trash coin that has been lying dormant for half a year suddenly turns around, and this feeling... is much more exciting than chasing the pump.
This round of FIL is real, it's not just luck. The storage track is about to rise.

Haha, this is what it means to lie back and win. I was about to give up, but instead doubled my position. The crypto world is so magical.
Oh my god, this round of FIL really confused me. The sunk cost suddenly turned into a cash cow.
Basically, it's about betting on the right cycle. It seems like luck, but it's actually patience. Most people have already cut their losses and exited.
The most torturous thing about zombie holdings rebounding is that you forget they are still alive.
Not all obscure coins can turn around. FIL's success mainly relies on solid fundamentals; the storage sector still has potential.
This experience has been the best lesson the market has given me. Sometimes, doing nothing yields the highest gains.
The forgotten corners are the real gold mines. Most people can't wait for that day and end up bankrupt.

Haha, that's what you call lying down to earn, no need to do anything, the coins rebound on their own.
The FIL move is really interesting this time, I have to admit I got my face slapped.
Sunk costs turned into double, how low is that probability, must be extremely lucky.
But honestly, there are still people exploring the storage sector, and the long-term logic remains intact.
I also have a few paper coins gathering dust, looks like I need to take another look.
Zombie positions fighting back, now that's a real black swan event.
People tend to forget losing trades, and as a result, they quietly get rich.
This time was a bloodbath, will they dare to gamble like this again next time? Haha
