Just after New Year's Day, all kinds of shanzhai coins indeed experienced some decent gains, and market sentiment seems quite heated. But honestly, in my view, this rebound is just a fleeting glimmer.

Take PEPE and BONK as examples. These types of tokens tend to have wild swings, with rapid rises and falls. The current increase feels more like an emotional outburst and is hard to sustain. My advice is, if you're still holding significant positions, now is the time to consider taking profits. Delaying further will likely make things less manageable by the end of the year.

Compared to mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, whose fundamentals and long-term outlooks can still support a rally, the risk factor for altcoins is indeed higher. Especially in the current market environment, with increasing discussions in the US about Bitcoin strategic reserves, large capital is gradually shifting focus to mainstream coins, and institutional support for altcoins is weakening. Instead of betting on another rebound, it's better to lock in profits now and prepare for possible adjustments.

PEPE12,26%

BONK9,76%

BTC3,34%

ETH6,32%

Here comes another to advise me to clear my position, buddy, are you poisoned? Clear my position? Wake up, I need to push one more wave. PEPE rebounds and you want to run, you need to work on that mindset. Honestly, mainstream coin bagholders are just bagholders too, why be so timid? Wait a minute, your logic is a bit interesting, but I don’t buy it. Not so calm at the end of the year? I’m not calm right now either, haha. Good fundamentals for mainstream coins don’t necessarily mean stability? You’re overthinking it. Listening to this, I want to go all in again, just pretend you never said anything.

Ha, coming to advise me to cut my losses again? PEPE is really虚 this time. Selling off early, but indeed it's time to reduce positions. Altcoins are just a gambler's game; institutions have all moved to play BTC. That's right, big funds are all focused on mainstream coins, so we're really in danger here. Can BONK still hold up? Feels like it's about to end. Taking profits and securing gains has become old news, but this time it really seems like we should listen. Without institutional support for altcoins, only retail investors are left to cut each other. Before the end of the year, I need to整理 my positions, or I'll really get caught in a deadlock. Let's see if there are still some clear-headed players bottom-fishing in altcoins. After emotional outbursts, there's always a sharp decline; I've seen it too many times.

Selling off completely is the right decision; now it's indeed time to recognize the situation. PEPE and similar kinds of assets tend to rise quickly and fall just as fast, so it's not a game to gamble on.
