Those who have gained over 100x returns through dog coin series and meme coins operate with a mindset completely opposite to that of most retail investors.



**The first difference: Dare to act at the most desperate moment**

It's not about chasing the rally, but quietly acquiring bottom-position chips when everyone else is turning away and least wants to see it. Meme coins, to be honest, are supported by fundamentals, but more often they are a game of sentiment and capital. During the process from extreme apathy to gradual warming, the most explosive elasticity always occurs in the stage when you "still can't believe it will rise."

**The second difference: Firmly avoid "smart trading"**

What do retail investors like to do? At the first sign of a rebound, they start T+0 trading, cut costs, and frequently switch positions, messing around until they miss the opportunity. Those who truly gain 100x are simple and straightforward: after accumulating the core position, even if shaken out, washed out, or called stupid, they don’t compete in the main force’s most skilled oscillation zone. Meme coins require holding for big swings; it’s about the stability of the position, not flashy operations.

**Psychological traps after market oversold**

After a sharp decline, retail investors often become overly cautious. It’s not that they don’t understand the market or lack analysis skills; it’s that they start to lose confidence in themselves. On the surface, they appear more cautious, but in reality, they are just packaging fear as rationality.

After each major drop, retail investors scramble for safety, while the main force is accumulating at low prices. The more you want certainty, the easier it is to buy at the highest point with the greatest certainty. True large-scale takeoff often occurs when retail investors are still in the aftershock phase, doubting themselves, and waiting for certainty. By the time you "completely believe" in the market, it’s usually already in the latter half of the rise, with the main force starting to distribute and making you feel "rock solid."

There's nothing wrong with what you're saying, but there are too many people with poor execution. They can see the bottom, but their hands just tremble.

Well said, it's all about the mindset game.

Basically, it's a psychological game. What I fear the most is my own "smart" moves.

That's right, retail investors have this problem — the more they fear, the more they end up holding the bag.

That's right, it's just going against human nature. When the bottom doesn't move, and it starts to rise, people end up trading frequently, really setting themselves up.

That was really harsh, it hit me right in the heart. I always choose to watch the show during that "still can't believe" moment.
