Recently, I compared the two coins RIVER and PIPPIN and found that the main players' trading styles are quite different. The manipulators of RIVER have left plenty of opportunities for retail investors to run away; even if you're still in a loss due to fees, you can find a window to exit. I actually quite agree with this approach, not because I made a lot of money—honestly, I also have some floating losses in my positions. But the attitude towards losses is crucial. My method is to cut losses decisively and not hold on stubbornly. It’s simple to say, but on small coins with such volatile swings, this strategy really works. Don’t resist the order, take profits when you see them. Instead of betting on a rebound tomorrow, it’s better to protect today’s principal. The market isn’t short of opportunities; what’s lacking is the resilience to stay alive and see the next wave of行情.

This guy is so right. Living is more important than anything. I used to refuse to believe that and held on stubbornly until liquidation. Looking back now, I realize how clueless I was.

It's easy to say, but you still have to stay alive. When there's a rebound, you should sell. Don't think about betting on a rebound to turn things around; that's just the pipe dream of bagholders.

It's easy to talk about stop-losses, but hard to actually implement, especially when you see the coin still falling. RIVER's market maker did leave a window this time, but I think the key is mindset—those who can survive and wait for the next wave are the real winners. Compared to PIPPIN, how is the trading strategy? Does it also give retail investors a chance? Coins that can exit while still in a loss are truly conscientious, but how high is the chance of that happening? I agree that surviving by holding on stubbornly is possible; the survivor bias in our crypto circle is too serious. Hidden fees like fund charges are really hard to guard against on small-cap coins. Protecting your principal is more important than making quick money, but who can really do that? Watching others double their investments while you cut losses and exit—who taught you that psychological resilience? There are many market opportunities, but few who survive—this hits the mark. If RIVER were really that friendly, why haven't major influencers been hyping it up?

Exactly right, everyone claims to be an expert when it comes to stop-losses, but when it happens to themselves, they're just naive traders hoping for a rebound. RIVER has indeed provided an opportunity this time, showing more integrity than those manipulators who just dump the market. Although I'm also losing money on it... but only by surviving can I wait for the next wave. Holding on stubbornly will only lead to liquidation.

This guy is right, being alive is the hard truth, more important than anything else.

That's right, living is more important than making money. --- RIVER's recent move is indeed somewhat considerate, at least giving an exit opportunity. --- Hey, instead of waiting for a rebound, it's better to run first. That's what I did too. --- Setting stop-losses on small coins really saves lives; I've seen too many hold on stubbornly. --- Only when the principal is safe can you bet on the next wave. There's nothing wrong with this logic. --- Opportunities? There are plenty, the key is whether you're still alive to see them. --- Compared to PIPPIN, the difference with RIVER is indeed quite obvious. --- Just not dying and holding on is enough; most people get stuck here. --- The market is full of opportunities, what’s missing is people who live long enough to see them.

Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but few can actually execute it. --- RIVER's recent moves are indeed sophisticated, giving retail investors a way out for a reason. --- Don't talk about a rebound tomorrow; preserving your principal is the real key. --- Being able to endure unrealized losses without panic is the survival guide. --- There are plenty of opportunities in the market; more people die over a single coin.
