I recently came across a paragraph that really woke me up—"Why are tokens so easy to crash? Because they can be generated in large quantities within minutes. A single big holder can dump the price, the project team can instantly unlock and sell off, causing it to plummet to zero." Thinking carefully, these four points really hit the nail on the head.



Ask yourself honestly, are all those so-called "potential tokens" in your holdings actually safe? Looking at the bunch of coins in my account that are all riding on various concepts, my mind suddenly buzzed—turns out I’ve been participating in a game that is inherently "destined to be fragile." That afternoon, I made a decision: to clear all the non-mainstream tokens and switch to stablecoins.

My friend immediately laughed at me: "You’re overdoing it, right? There are still good tokens out there!"

I asked him back: "Since you already know that the rules of this game are inherently biased towards project teams and big holders, why do you think you can win?"

This is the fundamental problem with tokens. Their value is completely floating on others’ stories and promises, which is too unstable. In comparison, stablecoins take a different approach—much more difficult, but precisely because it’s hard, it’s more trustworthy. For example, the on-chain over-collateralization model of 130%+ means that the value isn’t generated out of thin air but is backed by real assets locked on the chain.

The beauty of this design is that it doesn’t rely on any project’s hype to sustain itself; its value is directly tied to actual collateral assets. Big holders trying to dump the market can’t move it because liquidity is spread across multiple public chains. There’s no such thing as "team unlocking" because the rules for issuance and redemption are hardcoded into smart contracts—no one can change them.

After truly comparing the two, the choice becomes clear. One is built on air, a prosperity based on illusion; the other is backed by real assets, providing security. The former offers excitement, the latter gives peace of mind. In this volatile market, sometimes choosing "boring" is the smartest decision.

The value of stablecoins ultimately lies in their "stability"—so stable that you can focus on other things without constantly watching the K-line and feeling anxious.

Haha I knew it. Those altcoins are essentially just money-grabbing machines. No wonder everyone is losing money. Really? I also used to hold a bunch of shitcoins, but now I’ve sold them all and switched to stablecoins. My friend advised me not to keep all my funds in stablecoins, but I asked him why he thinks he can win, and he had no answer. This article really hit home for me, especially the part about smart contracts with hardcoded rules. It’s truly reliable. The moment I cleared out my non-mainstream coins, I felt more at ease and comfortable. Instead of watching the market every day, I’d rather do something boring. Anyway, I’ve been scared off by all the hype. Boredom might actually be the highest form of wisdom. How should I put it? I just fell in love with this stable feeling. Those who boast about 100x coins should take a look at this. Don’t always think about getting rich overnight.

My goodness, finally someone said it. Those trash coins in my account should have been cleared long ago, but I was just reluctant to take the loss. Actually, instead of gambling on air coins, it's better to honestly accumulate stablecoins, which is much more reliable. I’ve exchanged everything for USDT. Anyway, with the market like this, it’s better to relax and keep a clear mind. Honestly, those who hype up tokens haven't lost big money before. Once they experience the losses, they'll understand. The game rules are tailor-made for project teams. We should just stop messing around. When the big players dump, that’s when you realize what despair really is. I won’t touch small coins anymore. Instead of watching the market movements every day, it’s smarter to switch to stablecoins and relax. That’s the real smart money.

Ah, now I really don't understand. Are stablecoins really that attractive, or have we all been scared into avoiding them? I took a look at my pile of trash coins, and it seems there's really nothing good or bad about them. But can you really sleep well with all your funds in stablecoins? That's a good question. Honestly, it's just fear of a dump, but why do we have to go all-in on stablecoins? Feels like an overcorrection, bro.

My goodness... this paragraph really hit me. I should have thought of it this way earlier. A month ago, I was still hyping up some coin to go to the moon, and now it's all just air, haha. Stablecoins are indeed boring, but being bored is really awesome. We retail investors playing with tokens are just working for the project teams. The sooner you realize this, the better. Your analysis is excellent. I also need to change my approach.
