To be honest, I used to have a bit of bias against small-cap coins, and I was annoyed by the market segmentation. As a result, I watched some projects rise without taking action. I felt very regretful at that time.

Later, I gradually understood — even the hot spots in the exchange segmentation need attention; when it's time to buy, you still have to buy. These are all market opportunities, and there's no need to fight against the money.

My current strategy is to be more open-minded and no longer rigidly adhere to certain cognitive biases. Investing requires learning to be flexible in allocation, diversified in layout, so as not to miss those truly potential opportunities. Once the mindset is adjusted, the returns become more stable.

Really, I used to think the same way before, now I regret it to death. Small coins are indeed easy to miss, attitude adjustment is needed. By the way, what proportion of small coins do you currently hold? The lesson of chasing highs and killing lows, brother. Being flexible in allocation is correct, sticking to one idea is really a loss. But you still need to control the risk, don't go all in.

ngl, this is exactly what i tell my students—cognitive biases are portfolio killers, fr diversification isn't sexy but it beats watching gains slip through your fingers every time the "i was right to ignore shitcoins" era is over lol, market's moved on

Oh no, this is my blood, sweat, and tears story. The coins I missed out on are now skyrocketing. Diversified allocation is really key; you can't always be stubbornly fixated on mainstream coins. Well said, having a relaxed mindset actually leads to more gains. I agree with this point. I used to look down on small coins, but now I understand that opportunities don't pick and choose based on price. Cognitive bias is the most harmful thing; you have to constantly push yourself to explore new things.

Oh no, this is my blood, sweat, and tears lesson. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so stubborn. Really, small coins are just easy to get slapped in the face. Diversified allocation is indeed smart. Wait, what do you mean by "flexible allocation"? It still depends on the fundamentals, right? This market cycle made me realize that holding onto a single coin is really foolish.

Really, missing out on small coins is missing out on money, regret to death --- That's why you need to watch and do more, don't be stubborn --- Damn, if I had gotten in earlier, I would have made a profit --- Now I understand, flexibility is the key to success --- Diversified allocation is indeed attractive, I was too stubborn before --- Market segmentation is also an opportunity, who would have thought --- Adjusting your mindset is the key to making money --- I've also missed out on many small coins, a painful lesson --- Must admit, an open strategy is indeed more stable
