BTC's recent performance is quite interesting. After reaching a high, it retreated back to around 95,000 and has been oscillating repeatedly. Honestly, this rhythm aligns with my market judgment. My initial strategy at the beginning of the month hasn't changed much—just steadily moving forward, neither greedy nor impatient.

There are always two types of people when it dips. Some see the risk and panic completely; others smell the opportunity and laugh while bottom-fishing. Ultimately, it's about being responsible for your own choices. But one thing everyone must understand—protecting the principal is the key. With the principal in hand, anything is possible.

ALT coins are also quite interesting. DASH and ZEN, after their previous surges, have both started entering consolidation phases. Comparing the two, DASH still has considerable potential compared to ZEC. Big players usually don't eat everything in one bite, especially foreign whales—they act more gradually and plan their moves carefully. In simple terms, this is just the beginning.

ZEN is a bit different. It rises fiercely and falls sharply, giving an unstable impression. If you want to play this coin, you need to be extra cautious and keep risk awareness at maximum.

Protecting the principal truly is great wisdom; everything else is superficial. When it comes to stability, ZEN definitely needs to be observed more before getting involved. Fluctuations around 95,000 are quite normal; there's no need to mess around blindly. I agree with the potential of DASH; the tactics used by the big players are indeed sophisticated. Those who panic end up getting cut; bottom-fishing requires having enough capital to support it. ZEN is a very volatile coin; it's easy to get trapped by it. Not being greedy or impatient—nine out of ten retail investors can't do these four words.

95,000 repeatedly rubbing, to put it simply, the market is creating K-line artworks, and the aesthetic value of the big players is seriously underestimated. The story of DASH isn't finished yet, and ZEN has already started the roller coaster show, which is the poetic interpretation of the supply and demand curve. Protecting the principal is more sincere than Warren Buffett's entire investment philosophy.

95,000 at this level is indeed interesting; I understand the feeling of repeatedly grinding. Protecting the principal is spot on; many people ruin themselves out of greed. I'm also watching DASH; it definitely has potential, but I'm just worried the whales might run away too quickly. ZEN really, it's exhilarating when it rises, and it's also a thrill when it falls—this coin's temperament is too wild. The most testing time for bottom-fishing is when your mentality is put to the test. To be honest, most people simply can't do it.

95,000 fluctuations back and forth, this is the big players accumulating, patience is key. Only when the principal is protected can you play around; those who are losing are losing their mindset. There is indeed a story with DASH, ZEN is too exciting, I’m still too cautious. The courage to bottom fish and the ability to withstand losses are easy to say but hard to do. Not greedy, not impatient—this saying is right, but I’m afraid it’s easy to say and hard to do. ZEN is insanely fierce; you really need to think more before taking the plunge. Wait and see, no need to rush; the market won’t run away.

95,000 I am also watching this wave of volatility; the rhythm is indeed steady, and greed can easily lead to losses. There is indeed some imagination space for DASH, but ZEN really needs to be cautious; the fluctuations are too fierce. Protecting the principal is the key; everyone must acknowledge this.
