There have been quite a few pitfalls in the Solana ecosystem. Each high-expectation project entered with confidence, only to see everything go to zero in the blink of an eye. To be honest, projects on SOL vary greatly; some are genuinely working, but many are just riding the hype, lacking real application support. During market corrections, you can see clearly who is swimming naked.

The key to investing in the SOL ecosystem is not to chase after popular projects, but to learn how to distinguish them. Is the technical team reliable? Is the tokenomics design reasonable? Are there real interaction data? These details often determine the project's survival. Many people are just eager for quick gains, following the price increases, only to get trapped.

Instead of betting on a single project to double, it's better to hold the SOL main token steadily. The health of the ecosystem ultimately reflects in the value of the main coin. Of course, if you really want to participate in new projects, don’t go all-in—leave some room for risk management.

Ha, another trap. My SOL position proves how foolish I am. Been cut so many times and still want to go all in on new projects? Haven't I learned my lesson? The data shows I’ve indeed made money, but I keep looking at K-line charts until I go blind. The SOL ecosystem is like this: some projects have real gold and silver, while others are pure air coins. Instead of messing around with these small coins, just hold tight to SOL; at least you'll sleep peacefully. I’ve learned my lesson this time and only buy main tokens. Just watch the new projects. People who chase highs every day deserve to be trapped; I’m now just holding with my eyes closed. Honestly, it still comes down to patience and vision, but most people just don’t have it.

It's the same old rhetoric again. I just want to ask how many people actually read the tokenomics. I never believed in those SOL projects from the start; they're all just air coins. Holding SOL main tokens is indeed stable, but we also have to admit that there are fewer and fewer good projects to play with in the ecosystem. To be honest, risk management is just a joke for most people.

Really, most of the projects in the SOL ecosystem are just vaporware. I've seen through it long ago. Holding SOL is the real way; don't be tempted by those shitcoins. It's all about tokenomics and the technical team—basically, it's just gambling on luck. I'm all in on SOL anyway; those new projects can do whatever they want.

Oh no, another one telling me not to bottom fish. I've already lost a lot and you're still talking about risk management. I just want to know how those projects that went to zero are doing now, haha. The SOL ecosystem is indeed a big gamble, but I will still keep playing. Who told me I just can't change this habit? Holding the main coin is stable, but I just can't see that feeling of takeoff, brother.

I've long seen through it; the SOL ecosystem is just a casino, unable to distinguish between projects and air coins. Exactly, those who rush in are all just with a leek mentality. Tokenomics is something you can tell right away whether there's potential, but unfortunately most people don't bother to look. It's better to just honestly accumulate SOL and not think about getting rich overnight.

Uh... there's nothing wrong with that, but I only understood after being trapped twice. Damn, tokenomics really hard to understand, I keep falling into traps every time. The SOL ecosystem is basically gambling, to be honest. Holding the main coin is indeed stable, but who can resist the temptation of chasing new coins? Still, I need to learn to cut losses, or my mentality will collapse. I'm now just hodling SOL, and I don't even touch new projects.

I realized too late. If I had known earlier, I would have just gone all-in on SOL and not moved. --- Tokenomics looks like a paper exercise; nobody really pays attention to it. --- That's right, but I still can't change my habit of chasing gains. Truly incredible. --- The naked swimming part was amazing. I only understood that saying after being stopped out multiple times. --- Instead of researching projects, it's better to study my own greed. --- The SOL ecosystem over the past two years has really been a big sieve, only filtering out the chives. --- So now the question is, can anyone tell me which team is actually reliable? --- All-in fools like me are now just holding coins, waiting for redemption. --- Risk management? I've never even heard of that term. --- It's really just two words: greed. It has destroyed everything.

Naked swimmers have all been washed ashore, really, that's how the SOL ecosystem is Honestly, after being cut three times, I realize that chasing hot topics is about making money Tokenomics clearly shows who is causing trouble and who is taking profits, learned that It's still safer to hold onto SOL itself, don't always think about tenfold coins
