#美联储降息 $ASTER and $ZEC have been receiving a lot of questions recently, and many are trapped. Interestingly, although both coins are trapped, the reasons are vastly different.

First, let's talk about $ASTER. The characteristic of such coins is that they rise on hype—triggered by trending topics and hot spots. Once they become the focus, the FOMO effect skyrockets, and everyone fears missing out. But emotions come quickly and fade just as fast. Once the freshness wears off and no new sparks are ignited, those who bought at high prices can only tough it out. Want to wait for a rebound? That depends on whether the market has new stories or hot spots to continue the momentum, otherwise it’s a long wait.

Now, look at $ZEC. This is an established privacy coin with solid technology and inherent value, but it simply grows slowly. Most people caught in it bought at "historical sentimental prices"—thinking there will eventually be a rally. There are always opportunities, but when will the privacy sector explode? No one can say for sure. It might require a major market shift or a renewed focus on the sector; the time cost can often be more painful than the losses themselves.

What do these two coins have in common? It’s not that you’re trapped by the coin itself, but by your "position." The coin itself may be fine, but your entry price was off. Markets are constantly changing, and when your position is too large, you can only wait passively. That’s the hardest part.

The market rotates every day. You should switch when needed, top up when necessary. If you get stuck in one direction, you’ll ultimately only suffer opportunity costs compounded over time.
