Interesting trading psychology phenomenon: retail investors often go to great lengths to avoid mainstream cryptocurrencies. This reflects a common market fear of herd mentality—being afraid to follow the crowd into a position, yet worried about missing out on opportunities. As a result, everyone is searching for alternative assets, hoping to achieve better returns through "differentiated choices." Little do they realize, this kind of contrarian thinking has itself become another form of collective behavior. The market is constantly pulled back and forth within this contradiction.

Wow, does that mean we're all fools? Even reverse operations are still operations, and in the end, we're still getting cut.

Haha, really, the more I try to avoid mainstream coins, the more I follow the trend. This move is truly brilliant.

At the end of the day, it's all about trying to buy the bottom of others, only to end up buying the top of others together.

That's quite a sobering way to put it. Isn't this just the self-deception game we're all playing...
