The dilemma of LTC is not in the price itself, but in expectations management.
Most people entering the market are deceived by a false illusion: that every asset dances to a certain predetermined rhythm. Halving should lead to a sharp price surge, user growth should push the chart upward, and with enough time, profits will naturally be realized.
But in reality, the market doesn't operate that way at all. The reality is far more complex than linear expectations. Price, cycles, growth—these elements are interconnected in ways that are not as straightforward as people imagine. The core issue is that most participants view the market too simplistically.

The halving curse, to put it simply, is a game of option pricing, and the market has long incorporated these expectations.
Insufficient liquidity means that even the best fundamentals are useless.
This linear logic really needs to be abandoned.
User growth ≠ price increase; there's a huge gap in between.
It's always the same pattern: go all-in before the halving, get trapped after, cycle repeats.
The most heartbreaking part is that expectations themselves are the biggest asset; once they are exhausted, what's left?
The market never owes anyone an explosion; think carefully before jumping in.

Basically, the retail investors are overthinking it. The logic that halving = huge surge should have been discarded long ago.

That's right, the magic of halving causing prices to rise has long expired, and these people are still dreaming.

At the end of the day, too many people are living in their own stories. Just because of the halving, it has to go up? Wake up, everyone.
