There's an interesting phenomenon: if an analyst is particularly aggressive with small-cap coins, focusing on projects with only a few thousand in market cap, successfully catching several 20-30x rallies, and on-chain trading volume reaches 200k-300k TPS. But their perspective on large-cap coins (market cap over a million) is usually limited, only pointing out 2-3x potential gains.



The question is: at what point does the growth of their followers make this small-cap coin strategy unsustainable? At that stage, should they consider shifting to large-cap coin analysis—despite lower returns, for greater stability?

This actually relates to the evolution of trading strategies. The greater the influence and capital, the more the capacity limits of small-cap coins become apparent. Once some analysts have a large enough following, they indeed need to adjust their focus.

This is a paradox— the more fans there are, the more trapped they become... Small-cap coins rely on this income. Once their influence grows, they can crash directly.

nah this is just natural selection playing out. once you got enough capital, the microstructure breaks down—liquidity dries up the second you try to dump. it's not about strategy evolution, it's about hitting the ceiling where governance attack vectors become more profitable than bag holding lmao

That's why those small coin kings are now staying low-key. Once they gain a lot of fans, they become tools for dumping, which is quite ironic.

This is what I often refer to as the "liquidity curse." Having too many fans becomes a burden, and small-cap projects simply can't hold that much money.

Haha, this is the classic "success curse"—the more you earn, the less you can move. Honestly, once the fans increase, it automatically turns into a big shot, which is unavoidable. Maybe I should just focus on doing big coins, at least I can sleep better.
