This time, the stop loss on ASTER is a bit regrettable. After a careful look around, this team indeed cannot find the founder's background, and lacks momentum. However, this experience has given me more ideas about the entire exchange track. The current landscape is missing a strong team like some leading exchanges to come in again—if a new star in the exchange industry appears, we will definitely be among the first to jump in.

In terms of investment layout, I still follow these ideas: I am optimistic about the long-term value of BTC and BCH on POW chains; I firmly believe in ETH for public chains; I am paying attention to WLFI's development in the stablecoin sector; BNB's performance in the exchange sector is indeed stable. But to be honest, what the market truly needs is the emergence of more innovative players so that the ecosystem can become more active.

ASTER-3,5%

BTC-0,76%

BCH-4,71%

ETH-1,4%

A weak team background is really a dead end; ASTER indeed misjudged this time. However, there is still a chance for new stars to emerge in the exchange track, it all depends on who has the solid strength to back them up.

Well, ASTER indeed doesn't show the team's "Da Vinci temperament" this time, no wonder you cut your losses. According to the supply and demand curve, projects without founder endorsement are like unsigned paintings; no matter how low the floor price is, it's useless. By the way, in the exchange track, there's really a lack of a new narrative right now. BNB's stability truly exemplifies what "bull market security" means, but you're right, the market needs a breaker. Someone needs to combine DAO governance mechanisms with exchanges—that would be the true realization of the Web3 decentralization spirit. I also have no objections to BTC and ETH, these two old relics are among the safest options in Schrödinger's bull market.

Stop-loss ASTER is indeed awkward, the team background turns out to be all talk... If a new exchange really launches, I would definitely be first in, but only if it has substance. BTC, ETH, and these are still stable, but the market really lacks some fresh blood right now, or it would be too boring.

honestly the ASTER exit stings... but ngl, founder opacity is basically a gwei leak you can't patch, right? dead weight narratives don't scale. the exchange layer tho... that's where the mempool gets interesting. waiting for the next vol spike to hit different when real infrastructure players show up. BTC/BCH steadiness hits different when everything else is just noise tbh.

It's a bit of a pity that the stop-loss ASTER, but not being able to find the founder's background is really a red flag. If a new exchange actually appears, it will definitely be a game-changer. Holding onto ETH at this position is still the right move, and BNB's stability is indeed unquestionable.

If I had known earlier that the ASTER team was fake, I wouldn't have cut losses and would have avoided losing everything. The new exchange track, frankly, still depends on the people; without a solid background, no matter how fancy, it's useless. Holding BTC and ETH, paying attention to WLFI for stablecoins, and BNB should be kept and acquired; there's no problem with this move. The real flaw in the market is the lack of genuine innovation; it's all repetitive development and dull.

The fact that the team has no background is really a major flaw. There's nothing wrong with stopping losses on ASTER. If a new exchange really launches, I would definitely be involved, but the prerequisite is that the team is solid. BNB is indeed very stable, but I still trust ETH in the long run. The POW logic is still valid.

Stopping loss on ASTER is a bit painful, but the team's background is indeed unclear, which is a red flag. If a new exchange can really become a dark horse, I will definitely go all in. Long-term holding of BTC, BNB is very stable this wave, just waiting to see if ETH can take off again.

How do you check the team background on-chain? Data speaks for itself. The distribution of ASTER holdings and capital flow should reveal something. Stop-loss decisions prevent losses, prioritizing capital efficiency.
