Recently, it has been observed that both ASTER and UNI have experienced being trapped. Interestingly, the market's attitude towards the two is quite different. What is the reason? The support behind them is probably different.

But have you ever thought about it? During this round of market shakeout, almost all cryptocurrencies have been brought back to their original state. UNI returning to the starting point is not surprising, and the small rise of Dogecoin is also nothing remarkable. The real issue is that the market's expectations and tolerance for different projects vary greatly—projects backed by major investors tend to be more forgiving, while others are more likely to have their flaws magnified.

This round of adjustment has exposed the true fundamentals of many projects. Instead of blaming each other, it’s better to take a good look at where the assets you invested in stand within the cycle.

ASTER-0.02%

UNI-0.14%

DOGE-0.27%

It's really true that kids with a dad are easier to take care of. The recent shakeout has exposed everyone's true colors; coins without a background are even worse off. By the way, is ASTER really unable to rally? Feels like it's not as resilient as UNI. Everyone's been trapped; let's see who can hold out until the next rebound. That's right, it depends on where you bought your assets; blindly following the trend is the biggest loss. When big capital steps in, the market responds immediately; retail investors are just the background. Instead of complaining about unfairness, it's better to study the cycle patterns. Having a big backer makes a huge difference; this industry is very realistic. Don't listen to those hype; fundamentals are the key. Wait, UNI, such a powerful protocol, still needs to be pushed back to the starting point? Then my small coins are even more hopeless.

To be honest, this is a capital game. Having a big backer makes a difference. That being said, I just want to know if my small ASTER holdings can turn around. No one can escape this round; it all depends on how you respond. Betting on Dogecoin's rise is less meaningful than considering how much of your holdings are still in the red. Ultimately, it all comes down to fundamentals. If you don't have them, there's no point in messing around.

You're right, the power of capital discourse is so real... Those with backing can sit back and earn, while those without backing have to take a beating. Stop talking about fundamentals; this is a capital game. The bigger the sponsor, the more likely they are to win. I want to see who can still pretend to be a coward in the next round.

Alright, alright, still comparing who got caught worse, they're all the same. It's really about whose backer is stronger, got it. Look at your cycle position; it's more important than anything else. After this round, you'll know who's genuine and who's fake. Large investors supporting the market and being ignored are two different things; that's the reality. Instead of crying about being poor, it's better to think about how to get through it.

This is the truth of the crypto world: when someone supports, there is tolerance; when no one pays attention, it gets hammered to death. It's a game played by big capital, so let's not take it too seriously. Honestly, it's still the poor fundamentals that are the main issue; even the shakeouts are obvious. Uh... it feels a bit bleak to say, but projects that are despised by capital are the hardest to endure. My question is, how do I determine what phase my coin is in within the cycle?
