Recently, I've been observing some old coins repeatedly pumping, and I’ve come to understand a few things.

Honestly, shorting those long-forgotten projects with no heat left is really low risk. Rather than calling it risk, it’s more about waiting for the right opportunity—once the rebound doubles, it’s profitable; if the rebound is small, just withdraw immediately. Anyway, the lifecycle of these coins has already come to an end. Compared to that, the least risky strategy in the crypto space right now is this, far below chasing new coins in spot trading or going long on contracts, which can easily lead to total loss.

The key is having good judgment when selecting coins. Old coins have traces you can follow—distinguishing which are truly dead and which still have a glimmer of hope becomes clear over time. New coins are different—chaotic information, manipulative schemes, technical risks—these are the real money traps. As long as you stick to one principle: avoid new coins, and you can keep the risk within a tolerable range.
