Looking at a set of data, over the past year, among all cryptocurrencies with a market cap exceeding 100 million, approximately 70% are in a loss state. What does this reflect? It indicates that the timing of choosing altcoins is no longer very important, as the entire market is almost entirely in negative returns.
From a different perspective, this seems to suggest that technological innovation at the application layer has essentially failed, and the market is not as receptive to new narratives anymore. Setting aside BTC, the pure altcoin market has already formed a staggering money-losing effect.
Shorting sounds like a viable idea, but in a year-long downward trend, shorting can easily fall prey to rebound spikes. The question is—why does such a losing market still exist? Why hasn't it disappeared like the markets for postal coins, trading cards, or tea cakes?
My judgment is that, around asset issuance, there are still wealth opportunities. The crypto market is fundamentally still the place with the highest issuance efficiency and the most diverse issuance methods. This is the core reason it has not been eliminated.

Playing with a 70% loss still indicates that this thing is essentially a printing machine, with new retail investors constantly coming in.

70% loss? That's the real truth of crypto. Stop with that narrative—it's just a money-grading machine.

70% loss? Bro, what does this data indicate... It's just everyone betting on issuing coins, technological innovation has long gone bankrupt
---
Short squeeze rebound? Come on, this market survives solely on issuing coins, it’s not going to die easily
---
Hard to hold, why are people still trading this stuff... Just because the barrier to issuing coins is low
---
Postal and stamp cards, tea cakes are dead, but this thing is still alive? It can only be said that on-chain issuance is indeed ruthless
---
Basically, it’s just a tool for raising money, don’t keep talking about all those narratives of technological innovation

Still playing with a 70% loss, to put it simply, it's just the coin issuers making money, retail investors are never absent as the bagholders.

Playing with a 70% loss, to put it plainly, is just gambling on issuance dividends. Anyway, the efficiency of cutting leeks hasn't changed.

A 70% loss is really incredible; no wonder people are cutting losses every day in the group recently.
The issuance mechanism is still much more attractive than postal coin cards. This is truly the real money-making area.
